Traffic Jam in CTE to SLE

We have to go to Jurong to pick B1 up as he is allowed to book out. The traffic on CTE is horrendous. My wife is right. Malaysians are all going home on Friday night. I will need to use the PIE in future. For non-Singaporeans, the highways in Singapore are given 3 letters short-form. CTE is Central Expressway, PIE is Pan-Island Expressway. BKE is Bukit Timah Expressway, KJE is Kanji Expressway, TPE is Tampines Expressway and ECP is East Coast Parkway. A couple more but it is getting late and I am tired.

We divert through Yishun and used Mandai Road instead. Once we get onto Mandai Road, the going is much better. We managed to reach Jurong and B1 did not have to wait for too long. The journey takes more than an hour and half. B1 had a fellow trainee who lives in Sengkang to take a ride with us.
