What a day!!.. Sunday the first of May, a holiday..The weather was good, with clear blue sky...We had an invitation for a wedding party at lunch time somewhere in Klang, a small coastal city, west of Kuala Lumpur, where one of Malaysia biggest port is situated...Malaysia gateway to the commercial world, the world renowned Westport, Northport...At the Klang Port...Since it is a Sunday we decided to take it easy driving by taking the normal highway that lead west to Klang...Actually we are really not that keen to go for a lunch wedding function at a home, where there would be a large numbers of visitors, mostly those that live nearby attending such function...Moreover the venue would be hot and crowded... Normally it is just a get there affair, meet the host,enjoy the meals and leave...So for a short function it is sometime not worth the trip...In this case we decided just to take it easy and enjoy the drive to Klang, for we had not been to this part of the country for such a long time already, probably more then eight years...We left home at just past twelve, decided to take the highway via the elevated highway and the Sprint highway which take us direct after the arch of the Selangor/Federal territory and then got into highway toward Klang...As we proceed we got caught in a traffic jam and I was wondering, what is happening on this Sunday where normally there would be not that many cars on the road...For almost an hour we move at crawling pace and inch forward at just below ten kilometer an hour, and then eventually we found that there were an accident just before the junction toward Sunway City...A holiday resort of a sorts...And after more that an hour of crawling drive we arrive at Klang...We followed the direction given to us on the invitation card...But it took us nowhere, just round and round the city and after more then an hour we are still not able to get to the address given to us...So we decided to call it off and not to attend the wedding but instead to head back for home...This time we were looking for a way out of Klang and as we proceed, I saw the green sign board that show the Highway...Happy...I follow the sign and I found that this road is new to me, for the scene along both side of the road look so different from the one when we first arrive at Klang...Anyway since the sign say that the road lead to KL...I just took it easy and enjoy the journey...With my spouse taking it easy as well...And eventually we found that we are on the KESAS Highway...That mean we are on right direction to get home in Ampang Jaya...It is already almost four in the afternoon and since we did not get to the lunch, we thoughts that we might as well head somewhere for a late lunch and perhaps an early dinner...We drove on and decided to stop at the Great Eastern Mall and had our lunch/dinner at the 'Cozy Restaurant' there and had a hearty meals....Well for the whole trip to and fro I was driving for almost four hours non stop...Since the Accord is new and a pleasure to drive, I was actually enjoying the trip although we did not get to our destination but instead went on a trip to nowhere...With my spouse beside me and always had something to chat about, it was just a nice trip, getting to see new sight that we never knew exist before...Well at this age and careless of the time factors we really did enjoy this trip to nowhere...Well friends that is life...Sometime events like this adventure of a sorts, do makes the difference in our way of life...What a way to spend a Sunday...A trip to nowhere....
