Raya Qurban or Gerbe in klate

(part 1)

1. Tahun ni sempat balik kampong dengan cuti sekolah bagai.

2. Mula dari Shah Alam dah agak lewat gitu about 9.00am considering school holidays that the traffic might have build-up on the highway.

3. As expected the traffic started to crawl from Sungai Buluh. A mistake by me for not using Guthrie instead, seemed that we could by-pass a bit the jam on North-South highway.

4. Apparently the traffic cleared after Rawang North just because of earlier accident as noticed by the debris on the road.

5. The tarffic started to build-up again and we were suggested to opt out from PLUS hi-way at Bidor interchange.

6. After few kms of smooth ride then the traffic was crawling again until when we reached near to Tapah town that it stood still for a while.

7. The time was 1.00 pm and it was 4 hours already passed by that we had not reached Ipoh yet which normally would take the most is 2 hours.

8. We decided to stop for a while and possible to stay overnight in Tapah town when we saw a big hotel signage on the right-hand side off the junction in-front of the IPD Tapah and nearby Petronas station. We checked that it would take almost 2 hours to reach Cameroon Highland with no hotel based on online checking.

IPD Tapah..they were busy manning the road 

until late in the evening..bravo

9. The hotel seemed new located within a new development of shop offices. It was at RM176 per-night with two king size bed enough for 4 of us.

shop lots units around

10. We checked out around 7.30am to comtinue from here to Jeli, Kelantan. The journey was smooth except that for sometimes during hard acceleration around 80km/hr that i could feel some kind of vibration may be to the steering or suspension..need to check it out once in Shah Alam.
