Ride to Work. New perspective.

Coming to work on Saturday was always a turn off. Can't rationalize the reason working for 3 hours on Saturday but still have to do it as long as I work here. Until recently I find how I can enjoy it.

It is more or less 35km from home to office in Subang. Cycling via MRR2 is a bit dangerous especially from Kepong to Sungai Buloh stretch. That stretch has many junction and that emergency lane is narrow (some as narrow as 2 feet). It also filled with rubbish and pieces of glass which may cause tyre puncture.

I always have a thought of taking an alternate route via FRIM, i.e. enter thru the Main Gate and exit at Hospital Sungai Buloh. According to calculation that would be 5KM if I took the main road in FRIM, proceed to Bukit Hari's trailhead and further up to Sg Buloh. It would be great if I do Dream, Rover's then resume Bukit Hari but it is a bit risky to do Dream without company.

So from a thought to a game plan, I did that route on the way to office and completed in 1 hour 40 minutes.
1. Home to Main Gate, FRIM. 13KM, 30 minutes.
2. Main Gate, FRIM to Hospital Sungai Buloh. 5KM, 35 minutes,
3. Hospital Sungai Buloh to Pinggiran Subang. 15km, 35 minutes.

On my way back, same route except the second part (Hospital Sungai Buloh to Main Gate, FRIM). I need to push my Shogun up the hill on Sungai Buloh trail due to road cassette that I fitted on it. From Bukit Hari, I exited via 501 trail and finished it with Aromatica Trail. A reward for after a mid-day hot sun for first part (Pinggiran Subang to Hospital Sungai Buloh). I completed the return trip in 2 hours. That was for longer route in FRIM, taking photos and meal break.

And that's how I'll enjoy my working Saturday!

Berapa lama nak masak Nasi Ayam?

Serius lama aku tak blogging.  Nak kena justify kenapa lama aku tak blog?
Blogging ni masuk KPI aku ke? Hehe.. tak kan?
Jadi, apakah jawapan anda untuk soalan seperti tajuk post ini? 1 jam cukup tak?

Mana cukup!  Kalau pun cukup sebab kita andaikan bahan-bahan mentah semua dah ada kat dapur.  Bayangkan semua barang-barang tu nak kena pergi beli dulu...
SOP nya: -

1.       3 Minit - Pakai baju (dengan andaian aku dah mandi, kalau belum mandi pun takpa kalau nak pergi pasar. Pasar kan busuk, jadi cover la bau busuk sendiri).

2.       1 Minit - Cari kunci motor (dengan andaian kunci motor tergantung ditempatnya, kalau tak kena mencari pulak dalam seluar, dalam beg atau dalam mesin basuh)

3.       5 Saat - Start motor (kalau pakai electric starter, motor tak meragam dan ingat lagi parking motor kat mana semalam)

4.       5 Minit - Perjalanan ke pasar (kalau tak kena road block dan kalau road tax hidup, kalau road tax mati kensel terus la masak Nasi Ayam)

5.       30 Saat - Pilih ayam

6.       5 Minit - Tokey ayam siangkan ayam tu (kalau anak dia, lagi lambat pasal semi-pro)

7.       5 Minit - Singgah beli beras dan lain-lain bahan

8.       5 Minit - Perjalanan balik rumah

Setelah semua bahan-bahan mentah cukup baru boleh start masak.  Cukup 1 jam siaplah Nasi Ayam.

Dan daripada analogi diataslah hampir segala anggaran masa yang selalu kita lupa ambil kira, iaitu 8 step yang mengambil masa 24 minit 35 saat.
Inilah masa 1 jam yang kita selalu bagi kat boss bila tanya bila boleh siap kerja.

Belum masuk tengah masak Nasi Ayam kena berenti kejap nak sidai kain di jemuran dan lain-lain kerja. Alahai....
