A family trip was planned for the last week end. My sis suggested going to Cameron Highland as she has not been there for the past 26 years. We agreed although my family and I drove there just last December. Anticipating a traffic congestion due to the long weekend, we left Singapore on Friday night staying a night at my brother’s place in Johor.

The nest morning at 0700 hrs, we began our 600 km journey to Cameron Highland. It was quite a breeze along the NSE until we reached Nilai. We got stuck in a traffic crawl for the rest of the 150 km journey driving at a speed of 20 -30 kph. It’s a day before the Chinese New Year and many Malaysian were driving back to their hometown for the festival and many were also taking advantage of the long holiday to travel……well I don’t know where. But for sure I was stuck in the middle of nowhere.

We arrived at Cameron around 6 pm…..4 hours late. However, the frustration of getting stuck in the traffic jam was compensated by the cool whether and nice hotel room. But this did not last long, as we were again stuck in the traffic snarl whenever we drove up or down the mountain. In fact most of our time was spent on the road.
