The road back

Have to travel back every year for sure, for the Chinese New Year celebration and also the “Ching Meng” festival, the festival to honour out ancestor and my late dad.

First when I travelled between KL and my home town, I would be using the Teluk Intan –> Bidor –> Highway route.

Then during college years, we found a better route that has almost same travelling time but with less toll fees. It will be passing through.. Teluk Intan –> Hutan Melintang –> Tanjung Malim –> Highway route.

After that, the old coastal road has been widen to 2 lanes in most section, therefore I switched to that route. Teluk Intan –> Tanjung Karang –> Kuala Selangor –> Ijok –> Sungai Buloh –> Highway. The fastest travelling time using this route is around 3 hours.

Nowadays with the technological advance in cellphones, we do not really need the offline GPS device like Garmin anymore. Using Waze alone is good enough to navigate us through most of the place. But the downside of waze is that without any wifi or cellular data, waze will be useless.

During festive season, it is advisable to use waze all the time to avoid any nasty traffic jam in all the routes. The other day when I came back, I managed to exit at Slim River, and took the trunk road all the way past Bidor and to Teluk Intan. Surprisingly, there was no traffic at all. Slow leisurely drive due to the speed camera in Bidor areas usually.

Now I will be leaving back to KL again. Not sure which route will I take.
