1/4yr later, my ideal front bumper has arrived and DIY (except paint).

KUALA PILAH TOWN, West Malaysia

A decent 3-4hr drive, you should be able to reach Bukit Kuala Pilah in West Malaysia. Nothing spectacular or breathe taking moments from the surroundings but a decent comfortable getaway from Singapore, once more.

West Malaysia is full of 'bukit' which means 'hill'. Along the North South Highway, you will travel pass many hills.

I really enjoyed the ride up there when I had to up-the-hill and down-the-hill. Driving past several little towns, villages and biggers towns are some wonderful experience which you will not get in Singapore.

Vast, West Malaysia is seriously big when compared to Singapore. Along the way, you would get to have several encounters with cows, water buffalos, goats, sheeps, chickens, ducks and some other little critters.

The winding roads are so fun to drive with a 4WD. I had lots of fun this trip. Up hill down hill with so many corners. Blind spots are always around and safety is indeed a concern with them.

I found a nice place to stop by to take some photos. Even when getting out of the car, I had to be extra careful. Lots of 'land mines' aka cow dungs surrounded me. Along the way pass the villages, dungs are everywhere and they found their way on my car as well!

After I got back into Singapore, I sent it for wash and the washing crews took some good time to wash off the dungs.... I felt sorry for them.

The drive is really fun and the only setup back I had in this trip is the dungs. When I drove my car past the customs officers, their looks could tell that they were disgusted by the smell and the dungs on the car... hahaha. Oops, sorry.

Want some dungs?

My search for rotors for my brakes is very eventful!

My front brake rotors are giving up soon. I needed replacement almost immediately. I called up many workshops but almost all could not give me a correct answer to my request. 

"No stock." = Famous quotes by most of them. When I went down, they got!

"No such size rotors liao." = At the shop, they have!

"Must order... take about 4-6wks."

"Upon order request, 8-9wks."

Etc...

No one seems to be able to tell me the truth on the phone but when you are at the workshop, they have what you want! Sigh...

Singapore has a very scary place for parking your cars, Multi Storey Car Parks.....

I never like MSCP and apparently, more and more of such auto thefts are happening in MSCP.

"Install security camera?"
(Wait until we lost our bonnets, brakes, rims, etc... then install?")

"How many MSCPs in Singapore have security cameras? Huh?"

What kind of security do car owners get to 'enjoy' for paying to park in HDB carparks? We paid when due but when thefts happened, they are not responsible. What is this?

Even a tree branch fell onto my car and caused a dent.... they are not responsible at all but I paid for parking leh. How come like that? The trees are planted by.... who?

THEN WHY PAY TO PARK WHEN THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR INCIDENTS LIKE THESE? WE PAID TO PARK WHEN TOLD TO DO SO. WE DID PAY. IF WE DON'T PAY WE ALSO PAY AS SUMMONS.

"PARK AT YOUR OWN RISK!"

"BUT I PAID FOR PARKING LEH!!!!!!!!! @#$%@#$%@$%^%$^$"

Season parking fees to maintain the facility and not security. It looks like we also LL have to park and face such thefts in MSCP. If we don't buy season parking or put coupons, we also lose money in another way.....

PARK OR NOT PARK OR PAY OR NOT PAY.....

I AM CONFUSED.

At least in some parts of the world when you pay for parking, your car will be in safe hands! Here in Singapore, pay plus take the risk......
