May 09 Fraser's Hill, April 10th 2009The worst traffic jam i ever had in my life !!!
I started my trip early to Johor Bahru via Woodland checkpoint, however after seeing so much traffic, decided to make a turn and then proceed to Tuas checkpoint expecting lesser traffic there. What did i got??? 3-HOURS-LONG-QUEUE !!!! Just by remembering those experience already make me sick again...
It was a public holiday that fell on Friday, everyone used this chance to travel out of boring place they live in. So the congestion was expected, but not as bad as this! 3 HOURS !!! Imagine that, sitting in a car that moves a few centimetres every few minutes under hot striking bright sun that burns through the roof top of your car. Add some nasty driver that will cut into your lane whenever you are too late for few miliseconds to step on your gas to move forward... I was prepared to yelled my heart out to customs officer, for doing their job so darn slow ! But when i saw it was a nice lady there... my heart soften and my mood get back to the Holiday Mood... ;)
Driving to Fraser's Hill was quite challenging, as there was no clear and good roadsigns pointing to the destination, plus it was raining very heavily... Night's approaching... Fog's coming down... There was no other car travel along our way that we thought we might have been lost... All are quiet, just listening to the sound of the rain falling hard on the car rooftop and eyes were helping to see beyond the long and winding road infront. Finally, we managed to get to the Gap around 7.15pm. Cruising for another 8km of winding, climbing, one-way road, we reach the small town of Fraser's Hill.
The next day, we tried to track some jungle trail, but when we were about 10m into the trail, leeches were all around the ground... some even manage to climb and hung onto our shoes and socks... trying to suck our nice fresh and sweet precious blood... yuccckksss.. My kids screamed and ran his way out of the jungle trail... vowed never to enter it again.. hahahaa...
Nothing much to do there, so we decided to pack our bags and leave Fraser's hill, continue our journey to Genting Highland. I can see they love Genting more than Fraser's Hill.. Guess they are not the adventurous type of kids... For me, i had some games of bowling there and scored few strikes.. hihihi...
