the new system....

kinta city officially started their autopay station system to collect the parking fees today.. RM1 per entry but first two hours free for Jcard members and 1st hour free for non members..i knew they were starting it today..but it didn't cross my mind that it would be THAT jammed..

i was fetching my sister there this afternoon and i thought it would be quite okay to just drop her there..as i reached the machine to collect the ticket...darn..! it's so troublesome..i've no intention to park my car there..how?? so i stopped in front of coffee bean and asked my sister to enquire about it at the info counter..few minutes later, she came out, my car moved only a little bit..cause it was so jammed..but it's good that she didn't have to find me somewhere else then..

and they said if i leave the place within 30 minutes, i can just leave..i managed to leave in time..and i personally find this system really really silly..the main road was so busy that even after inserting the tickets back into the machine upon leaving, the cars needed some time to get out.while others who wanted to insert the tickets as well gotta wait till the car in front managed to get out..that's just so not a right place to have the machines..i got out fast after inserting the ticket and got honked by a car coming.. cause i didn't want the car behind to wait..anyway, i don't know why the car honked..it wasn't even close..

so jammed that i had the time to do this :

the back..


after getting out of the jam..bad camera phone..can't picture the jam so clearly..

anyway, i think it was a good experience to join the crowd and jam unintentionally on the first day of the implementation of the new system..and it's my first time pressing the ticket out and inserting it back upon leaving..! lol..i've never done it before on the driver seat..but it's really troublesome that from now, it is not encouraged to drop nor pick anyone up right in front of the entrance..

p/s. i spent the whole day watching tv and reduced the guilt by studying for only 30minutes...

till then!
