Day 5 in Jelapang

Just started to blog again. So this is why it started with day 5 instead of my first day.

This morning I went out from home still with my wife.around 5 minutes earlier than yesterday.

I saw some of people are the same people I was around with last night when I came home from work.Seems they are in morning shift too.

One thing I like here in the morning LRT is the train which is longer than afternoon trains.It's nice since I can be sitting all the way.

The trip from Jelapang to Choa Chu Kang took around 10 minutes.

Nice Blog!!
