Since I started work at KLCC area, I wonder much patience drivers need to endure every morning going to work and going home after work. Stretching from Hang Tuah area till KLCC, every corner and every lanes are pack with cars queuing in the morning and evening. In fact, I only see the streets are clear during early morning, during weekends.
Parking is not cheap and public transportation such as bus and taxi hardly enter this area during peak hours LRT is pack too. Can't imagine if there's no LRT to this area.
The good thing working in KLCC area is the food and shopping. We are spoil with food choices, most of the stores are reasonable priced. For those who are on diet, lunch time is good for shopping or window shopping in the malls.
Sugar asked me and continuous to remind me to loose weigh. Hopefully I can burn off some KGs during the coming Ramadan month. It's shopping time at lunch time!

Malaysia Public Holidays 2012
It's that time again where we start to plan for our next year's holiday. I love living in Malaysia because it has one of the most public holidays in the world. We have a diverse multi-racial communities and we respect each others festivals and celebrations.
For the states of Kedah, Kelantan and Trengganu, weekends start from Fridays to Saturdays instead of Saturdays and Sundays. This is to respect the holy Friday for the Muslims. If a public holiday falls on a Sunday, then the following day, Monday is a holiday (replacement). For Kedah, Kelantan and Trengganu, if Saturday is a public holiday, then the following day, Sunday is also a holiday for those states.
