Plane vs. Car vs. Bus

We're planning to make a trip to KL this month. We can't decide whether to go by plane, car or bus.

Option 1: Plane
I personally prefer to fly but the budget flight timings are so odd that we would need to spend on a cab ride to the airport (early morning flight i.e. 7am) or check Patch into the doggy hotel one day earlier (evening flight i.e. 7pm). Plus if we fly, we would need to trouble someone (either my dad or father-in-law) to pick us up from the airport or spend on a cab ride from the airport to Elaine's place.

Option 2: Car
Ed prefers to drive however I'm not very comfortable driving a Singapore car in Malaysia ("asking for trouble", as my mum puts it), particularly since our car has a bright red plate (off-peak car). Plus if we drive, we would need to factor in the cost of petrol, toll and supplementary licence (for use of off-peak car on a weekday) so it all adds up to be more expensive than flying.

Option 3: Bus
Neither of us is particularly keen on taking the bus but Ed threw this in as a last-minute option. I suppose we could always take the bus, particularly since it's the cheapest and we would get off at Sunway Pyramid, just outside Elaine's house ...


After much deliberation, we've agreed to drive.
