Did A 140

Only two out of five departments are open today.

By the way, I tried the new KL-Putrajaya highway today.

Some of the prominent points I gathered during the drive was:
  • It will be 10km before I even entered the highway.
  • Max speed at first will be 60kph, and then 90kph.
  • There's a rest area almost immediately, which is the aptly named Seri Kembangan R&R.
  • The first exit will be Bukit Jalil, and the first landmark I see there was Sports Complex, and then Endah Parade.
Will try it again on my way back.

By the way, I ended up doing 48km, almost 6km more than my usual one-way mileage. So I guess, back to taking the bus then...

Refreshment Drive

After more than a month's wait, I finally gave up and picked up my Mini on Monday.

The mechanic's too busy, so I might as well do the repairs somewhere else. He did repair, of all things, the brakes, which are spongy.

Pending stuffs to repair, are fan belt replacement, clutch release bearing replacement, ball joint repairs, and some more stuffs of smaller importance.

I already felt like giving my car a refresher drive for a few days.

Afterwards, I will get back to using bus.
