Here's how everything goes today:

7.00am
Woke up.

7.30am
Set off to Fairy Park Memorial, Meru.

8.00am
Stuck in a jam.

10.00am
Still, stuck in a jam.

11.00am
Couldn't hold it in anymore, have to get out of the car to use the toilet in the houses along the road. (Thanks, Mak Cik!) And yes, still in a jam.

12.00pm
Mom couldn't take it anymore and decided to walk the rest of the way to the Fairy Park Memorial. (Distance from our car: about 1-2km)

12.15pm
Brother left me in the car to join Mom.

12.45pm
Reached the main entrance of the FPM. Saw a long line of cars ahead. So, decided to park the car there and walk to my grandparents "place".

1.15pm
Got lost walking through the memorial park. (It's really huge)

1.30pm
Finally got there and lighted up the "xiang" to "pai" my grandparents.

2.00pm
Headed back home.

2.45pm
Reached home!!!

It was a really long day and this is the first time (in more than 10 years according to my Mom) that it had been this "jam" to get to the memorial park. Luckily when we were heading back, Mom took another way. Otherwise, I'm probably still stuck in that traffic. Thank goodness.

Because of all this mess, I didn't get to clean the "place" like the previous years, so I feel kind of bad. But it's Ok. Next year, I'll go twice the job.
