Stuck in the car with the Nokia 5800

What other title can I put it? I was stuck in the jam to Seremban for more than an hour. When I first reached the Toll, it was already jammed. After the toll, it was OK but towards Nilai, the jam came up again. And this time, we all had to crawl. Nevertheless, the Nokia 5800's Player did make the situation more bearable. So much so, I did not want to "accidentally" drive to the left to block some morons who love to use the emergency lanes to get to their destination faster.

Still, a job is a job and we had to complete the remaining camera before the day is over. This was because the power to the two cameras in the Hall mysteriously go off during certain times of the day. We found out that all the electrical power, even to the sockets were controlled by the main switch in the Hall. So, when the staff switches them off for the day........

A short note about the Nokia 5800. If for any reason you forgot your AD-54 controller, you can plug in a normal pair of 3.5,, jack heaphones. The only problem would be that you cannot use it to control the music being played or even skip it. You will then have to unslide the key lock switch to get to the screen to do that. And, oh, you'l have to use the phone's mic to talk when in a phone conversation. And so, I ordered another AD-45 from eBay, knowing I'd forget or misplace it in the near future. But when you plug in a 3.5mm jack, the 5800 would ask you what funtion you would need, such as headphones, lineout, tv-out or music stand.There is another thing I need to mention. I am not sure if its my headphones or something else but there is an occasional crackle or pops while the music is being played. Memory card access times, maybe? Oh well.........

This is the situation at the Toll plaza. At least the cash lane
is moving well compared to the Touch&Go lane which is
moving quite slowly.

Luckily, I snatched some mini mandarin oranges from the office
on the way to Seremban

There's even a camera man to film the jam. Its no wonder because there
were a lot of activity at the Plaza. Each driver was given a copy of The
Star and (later) some drinks.

I was so surprised about this that I kept on shooting without much
focusing.

And so, I got a copy of they day's Star.

And not only that, later I found out that the man also dropped something
into the car which I was not aware off. Seems that the company "Proviton"
provided the free newspaper and the pills. I did not try the pills as I do not
want to be feeling "different" during work or during driving.

Oho! There is even a news reporter here after the toll as well!

This is the scene nearing Nilai. But once I cleared Seremban,
the jam disappeared.

Two hours later, we managed to get power from another point.
The customer asked me why am I not going back for the CNY.
And I replied that we need to get the cameras all working so
that the place is well taken care off since there would be less
staff. And my Techs asked me why I am not going back too
since I was still working just like last year. And so, I replied,
"I also don't know"

And its time to head home. Look at the jam on the opposite side.
It stretched for Kilometres

OK, this is the way back home and guess what? Its jam free! Hooray!
