note to self:

as per the ongoing research since january 2006, we have come to a conclusion that the federal highway is a killer stretch of road on thursdays from 8.00am to (possibly) 10.00am, where a 5-min drive can turn into 45 minutes of sheer turtle-crawl (if there is such a word).

therefore, the committee comprising of prof. cerebrum, prof. cereblum and assoc. prof. medula oblongata has proposed the following:

"if possible, use a helicopter".

end.
