the greatest thing since internet? better yet google?...has to be google maps...with a clear mind and some visualisation you can never ever be lost driving on malaysian roads...we do have very misleading signs here..anyway had another road trip recent weekend looking for this village below

you guessed it...it was not on google maps..but nearest google address was taman alam megah seksyen 24....shah alam....being a very confident egomaniac and pompous know it all KL driver i elected myself convoy leader and drove in front of all the seven cars....(i always claim to know every nook and cranny in my hometown and prepared to be a cab driver in my pensioner years)...but guess who took a wrong turn at the bloody confusing NKVE exit and led everyone to a wild goose chase....ooook i wont bore u to death... we found the destination eventually and was really lucky that i swallowed my ego and followed another driver..even if i found the google address the destination village was well hidden by tall warehouse and factories that it would have taken me ages to find it...anyway all went well...

Lesson learnt...during pre convoy discussions..be an asshole and ask the difficult questions first repeatedly and get it right...dont be a smart ass and keeping quite and let everyone call u an ass hole later.....

 Another thing...try to avoid driving in convoys and set 3 or 4 rendezvous points...malaysian drivers are really dangerous so long convoys are hard to control...nuff said

adventure in Singapore

Wanna know why i took a photo of my car road tax? Because this person(me la...) did not know how to drive into sinagpore and get an autopass ..u know that card which replaced the one day permit to enter singapore if you drive a car....
You guessed it...it has been a long time since i drove into singapore...a decade i think...
somehow the immigration fella(nice chap) did not tell me i couldnt drive out of the Woodlands CIQ complex without this autopass..
Maybe he was distracted by the 5 passports that i passed to him and the bad handwriting on the immigration formsi filled in.
so after i passed thru the whole complex and asked the border security guard for directions it all fell onto me that i screwed up!!!..Major!!!
How big a screw up u might ask?..the officer stopped all the incoming traffic to singapore...raised security barriers..and a guard escorted me all the the way to the transport ministry office to get the damn autopass..and since the officer was too pissed to go check on my car registration physically hence the photo above....one can only imagine what all those motorists was thinking when they saw me being escorted??#$%^&*^%$..
anyway apologies to all of you who had 5-10 minutes of your precious life on hold because of that incident at woodlandss..ha ha..

There you are the autopass thingy..dont you leave anywhere without it..kinda handy since i can pay parking and hosts of other stuff with it..was a great visit to Singapore..more on that in another post...here's one photo from that trip..boat ride at the singapore Zoo

Finally ....after years and years of trying...i win!!!

It took a lot of heart ache, caused head aches and somewhere along the line got a stomach ache...but i finally won a round of golf against a legitimate field.... never mind that some of the field was dried out from too much golf,lack of sleep etc...but lo and behold..i played 93..par golf to my handicap of 21...(not to their agreement) but even if i played to 16 i still would have won ha haa...anyway enough of golff...
Whats important it drove me to put up a blog...(long procrastinated)..and VOILA!!!..more to come tomorrow
