Travelling while on holiday

A scene at the airport.

The aerotrain shuffling passengers to and fro domestic and international terminals.

Walking while on holiday.

Waiting for the bus while on holiday.

Getting bored because the bus was late.

A pose after alighting from the bus.

Use public transport - the LRT.

Another means of transport - the cable car.

Waiting for the free shuttle at Genting.  It was raining that day so 'yippee' the weather's cool and refreshing.

Using public transport.

More public transport.

Waiting at the LCCT terminal.......

...... very boring with nothing to do........

....... till go crazy.           The end.

Developer Disaster - rectification works in progress

Machinery arrived.  The pile of soil was dug out of the drain.

Clearing debris from the drain for the lorry to chuck away.

Materials arrived.

Men started work.

Work started on the wall of the monsoon drain.

Piling and reinforcements.

The 'concrete' vehicle arrived. 

wow, so much work just to re-build drain walls.

Repairing the edge at the front - the part that didn't collapse.

Patching up the cracks.

Walling the fence.  Luckily the weather was fine and sunny so the contractors can work continuously.

Concrete reinforcements for extra support which should have been done by the Developer because of the substantial width of this drain.

They even knocked down the last panel at the back and re-build it.

Walling near completion.

Finishing works - patching up here and there.

Knocking out the uneven part and patching up the front "unfallen" part of the fence in order to straighten the whole fence.

The front part - all made good.......

..... with reinforcements.  Now I don't have to jump across.  I can walk across.

The unpainted part was the 'fallen' portion of the fence.  Now, it's nice and straight.

That's the usual water level when it's not raining.  If it rains heavily, then the level will raise up to 1/2 or 3/4 of the height of the drain but the first time it ever overflowed was on 5 January 2012 during the flash flood.   

Traffic in and around Wangsa Maju/Setapak - 2011

I was in Setapak area around the end of December 2011 and I noticed something very strange.  The traffic here is totally "no law" type.  Cars come around the corners anyhow and park anywhere.  Maybe the problem is there isn't enough parking space but I find it weird.  And the funny thing is I don't see any police issuing summons for these traffic offences.  

This vehicle is parked in the middle of a roundabout.  Can you imagine that - parking your car in a roundabout climbing onto the curb and running over the grass?

The car on the extreme right is moving around the roundabout and the four cars on the left are taking the space of the roundabout. 

The four cars you see in the photo are encroaching into the roundabout.  They are parked and locked with nobody inside.

This is a one-way street and there's no lines to indicate that it is for parking but cars are parked on both sides.

There!  Can park at the road junction and taking up half the road.

Park onto the road reserve meant for pedestrians.
