Lovely car

Its been quite awhile since my last post. There's alot of things happened since my last post and this very day that I could not summarize and detail in the blog, but what I can say is - life's keeps getting better and better. Alhamdulillah. However, I would like to dedicate this post to my little car - my awesome companion since last 2 years.

Just wanted to share what I always bring in my car. I like to travel around - all around Malaysia - across states very frequently, alone. My car has been (and always be) my second home. That's why I like to stuff things that I randomly and frequently need inside my car. Today, while cleaning up my car, I decided to snap up some photos of things inside.

First of all - my boot (some call bonnet)


Those are the things I believe would be a life saver when I'm travelling. A 6-man tent and two sleeping bags. The green one comes from Giant - a cheap one. The original sleeping beg that I own. But sayang seribu kali sayang, its a small one. Doesnt fit my height at all. I remembered once I had to bend and squeeze myself inside the sleeping beg while camping at the peak of the mountain at Chemerong-Berembun-Lansir just to keep up the heat.. damn shivering badly even when I'm stuffed inside. The second one, which is the blue one, is a great one. Very tall sleeping bag with headrest. Bought it at Mydin (who says Mydin sell 2nd class stuffs. I love to shop there) and very satisfied with the overall quality.

Behind my tent is the 60-piece automotive emergency kit for emergency reason. Look what's below all these:



My spare tire. This has saved my life two times so far - one at Cyberjaya, while coming back from Friday Prayers and another one was waaaay back previously while going out with my ex. Was driving around town and suddenly we heard a short loud hissing sound.

" Ah Sudah !! "

Wild speculations from my mind was confirmed with the vehicle tilting on the left. It's like Titanic, but while travelling fast on the right lane. I stopped and eventually changed the tire in the middle of the road while giving everyone "I don't give a damn on what you're thinking" face.


My jumper set. Saved my life numerous times. I remembered that I have to jump my battery after camping at Frasers Hill.


Portable tire inflator. Not many people own this - nor realize the emergency need of this device. Saved my life while attending a camp at Segamat.


A first aid triangular bandage and the official Manual Pertolongan Cemas book. Both sponsored by PBSM while attending the Kursus Menyelamat dan Pertolongan Cemas recently. Very important tool for emergency cases. Book is read fortnightly to sharpen skills.


Favourite porch bag with a mini carabiner hanging there for my GPS unit. Lots of pockets for different needs.


Rain repellant by eBay. Very handy and useful.


No. Not an inch of what you'e thinking on your head. I don't smoke. These lighters are for emergency purposes and to start up fire while hiking.


What's wrong with some panadols around.


My favourite perfume. Azzaro Chrome. Used since secondary school times. Very exotic brand - can't find it cheap at uptowns and downtowns. Have to buy it original at Parkson for RM300-ish.


I love to keep reciepts when I buy things. Every single receipts, whether it is requested or provided without any form of after-sales communication. I love travelling, so most of the receipts here are the petrol receipts from various petrol stations.


And also, stationaries. Very useful for quick updates or if I have some ideas popped in the middle of journey.

I have a trip to Jerantut, Pahang tomorrow and to Chukai, Terengganu on the next day. Tomorrow's trip is under abg Suhail - a trip to Omey's house in Jerantut. He will dump me at the Jerantut bus station afterwards because he needs to rush to another place afterwards. Then I have to take a bus to Kuantan, and - Chukai for an impromptu visit to my cousin's house.

Looking forward for this weekend as I have a hiking and night trekking trip to Pine Tree Hill & Twin Peak and also a bird-watching session there. Frasers Hill, here I come!
