Wow wow wow, we started Saturday noon time from KL and what a jam. It takes us 3 hours to reach Rawang where normally it takes less than half an hour. Only after Tanjung Malim the traffice are able to move. The problem is cause by cars queing up to enter the highway rest areas in Sungei Buloh, Rawang and only Tapah is ok because they have a huge parking area for cars to enter easily. It took us 6 1/2 hours to reach Kuala Kangsar where the distance is less than 250 km. That means our travelling speed is about 40km/hr. You can see many stop by the roadside to pee. Furthermore it rains heavily and non stop all the way.

Next year we will travel by train. Never mind if it takes 4 hours or more rather than the frustration of caught in the traffic jam.

Anyway we are still in time for reunion dinner at 7.30pm. As usual after the dinner we have wines and cigars distributed by Datuk every year. Also ang pow are given to children.

The Chinese New Year in most of the villages are quieter now due to rural urban migration. There are less people now and most of the younger ones do not know each other apart from their own relatives.
