It was an insane drive up to Teluk Intan for my cousin’s wedding today. Left home at 1030hrs and arrived Teluk Intan at 1345hrs. Traffic was just heavy in Kuala Selangor and Hutan Melintang (I followed the coastal road). At least it’s not as bad as those people who were stuck on the PLUS highway northbound from Sungai Buloh through Bukit Beruntung, and southbound from the Kajang exit through Nilai…a jam of 18km in length.
Passing the Jenderata airfield, I remember how, 7 years ago I did several parachute jumps at that airfield, flew a paramotor, and flew a Cessna 172 from Ipoh to Jenderata and back. I also remember flying above this airfield as a waypoint while taking Route One to go back to Subang from Ipoh after taking the 9M-AZI back from servicing in Ipoh. It was over this airfield that I did a hard left at 1,000 feet AMSL. I took that aircraft and handed it over to late Faizul at Subang, a week before he fatally crashed the aircraft into the sea off Mersing.
Anyway, it was good to have met relatives I’ve not seen for a long time, and those I have never met as they have resided in Tawau. Maybe I should look them up when I go to Sipadan-Mabul-Kapalai.
The drive back was nice. It was a fast drive. I cannot help but think how peaceful I would feel everytime I am outside of KL. I looked at the crimson sky, the numerous jetties I pass by…knowing the sea wasn’t far away then.
That is how I get back my sanity.
I wonder how she is….
