Rejoined Rat Race

It feels good to be of some professional use again. I've found a job. Or rather a job found me. I start in February. Yay for me! Yay for The Husband! Yay for the starving bank account!

I've been fortunate enough to have had a good rest from my last job. My tank is all filled-up, my body parts have been replenished, and I'm ready to rejoin the rat race once again.

Saaaammmmy!!!

The roads are new and smooth, the lamp posts' have stylish characters, the buildings have their own proud identity, and the traffic light's design gave us a glimpse of the future.

Everything looks grreaat except for one thing.

The road planner probably took an online course in road mapping and decided to plan the roads like the Scrabble board game. Serious!

The Husband and I arrived this so called "well-planned city" with high expectations to get some documents in order but was thoroughly amazed at the dumbness of the city's layout as we departed the city.

Ok, to be fair, I might be judging a little too early about the road planning since it's still a new city. But COME ON! How can one build a beautiful, smooth road that SUDDENLY ENDS in the middle of no where? When I say suddenly ends, I mean, the road just cuts short, eventhough the sign says it's supposed to lead to our destination. And there were no signs of further road development.

There were no detour signs, no caution of an unfinished road ahead, and no brains involved whatsoever.

*scratching head* Haven't the road planners have enough 'planning' experience with Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya? I mean, d*mn! I think we deserve to have some strategic road planning that makes sense!!!

*sigh* First class infrastructure, third world mentality. Poor Samy V. Can't get enough of that old geezer.
