And so, every driver also had the same idea. Since I was in Jalan Pahang, there were only three routes for me to reach home. One was the PWTC turn-off to Kepong which allows me to use the back way towards Jalan Damansara. Unfortunately, it was clogged.
The other way was the turn-off near at Jalan Duta just after the Parliament. But this was clogged up as well. And so, the last route was through Jalan Bangsar which was surpirsingly clear. By now, the rain has started.
And within minutes, it changed from a slow drizzle to buckets and anymore, I can start to look out for cats & dogs. By this time, I was just at the flyover turning into Jalan Bangsar. Things were not good because by now, the whole stretch was quickly filled up with cars and morons cuting into lanes. Because my Satria's air-cond is not workng, my windows were misted all over and I had to keep wiping the windscreen every now and then. With the clouded windows and dark skies, I am effectively blind inside the car. And so, for more than two hours, I was in the car, slowly inching into Bangsar. And from there, I can witness the alrming buildup of the flood water on the road below. I was so bad, both sides of the traffic was kept to a crawl. By the time I came down from the ramp, most of the cars were apprehensive about continuing the new Bangsar River.
I had no choice but to continue, revving on first gear until I reached the Brickfields junction. And here, was the actual cause of the traffic jam which affects the opposite side of the road (going to KL). Traffic from Bangsar & Federal Highway merged with the traffic from Brickfields, etc and with the cops trying to "control" a non-moving traffic jam, it was a nightmare. Luckily, they waved me past and once cleared of the junction, the road to Bangsar was obscenely clear.

Sometimes, I wished I had taken up my Boss's offer to use his 4x4
