Life is on the road


Writing in blog is not easy when you have one compared to when you dont have a blog. Before, there was so many ideas flowing through my head about what i want to write but when sitting in front of my blog, everything goes away. So i decide to write something as soon as the idea coming without wasting any time. Yesterday i went to the summit in USJ about 6 pm. After that i got lost when i was about to go to the LDP highway so after going round and around and not to forget the signboard, i managed to get into the LDP highway. All along the LDP highway until i reach TTDI and still got lost figuring the way to the TTDI community centre (but still managed to get there). Soon after finished playing badminton, its time to head to the stuff's party so its my way to sunway pyramid taking the long road all the way through LDP (following the guidance of my friend LAIKOK of course). After sunway pyramid its time to go home so i repeat the cycle on the road all over again. Actually this reminds me of my life in the road. Every person's road life starts out as a passenger of course. So when we are still young, we just simply follow wherever our parents take us to and until you goes to a hostel school very very far away from your home, this is where your journey begins. Your primary vehicle at this time must be the public bus or a commuter (for urban people livin in the city) or taxi (for the rich) or some even the airplanes (for the extra rich or aviation family). So im the bus passenger. At the current time my house was in penang so the distance between the butterworth, penang and alor setar, kedah is not that great but im still enjoying the fun 2 hours jolly ride. The adventure seems to be tougher since my family moave a little south into kampar which make the distance fairer about 200km++. This is where i starts to experience the overnight trip. Every people in this world who is making the bus their primary vehicle will experience the similar problems. Bus late arrival, until you have to wait for hours in the crowded places where you will see all kind of people in the same place. The bus damaged while traveling which make you sit at the roadside watching cars passing by until the replacement bus arrived. The condition of the bus which sometimes have no air conditioner, extra vibration that we dont really need,the slow mo view in the windows while the bus tries its best climbing up the hill. I have endured all these problems until i got my L license for the motorcycle. At that time, i was in subang, selangor and my family was alreday moved to slim river, perak. i still remember my last trip with bus to tanjung malim (which is near to slim river) ends up in a low class hotel in tanjung malim since my phones cannot reach all my relatives and the local bus services is already finished (its about 12.30 am at that time). This experience make me swear that i will never take an express bus anymore unless emergency. My first motorcycle is the honda c70 (see the top image). The first speed of the motorcycle is about 50km/h so me and my brother do a little modification until the speed reaches 70km/h. So i started using motorcycle to work and to slim river. Using this motorcycle is very damn tiring because of the sudden broke down always occured. I evn have pushed this motorcycle about 4km on the highway until i reach the rnr station to do a little repair. After many repairs plus mod, the motorcycle was in his top condition and can reach to 100km/h without causing much trouble. And that is the time my family moved away to ipoh makin the distance 200km++ back. At the first few month, i just used the motorcycle until i cannot stand the three hours vibration on the road so i am asking for my mother a new bike.Since my older brother just finished his studying at that time, i have to use his motorcycle first, the honda wave100 which is very similar to my friend, Wak Cedey motorcycle. The colour, the box which happens to be the same. My brother got a job in KL so now its time for my new bike. With the price of RM4080.00 (my mommah plus some of my savings) the modenas kriss120 was bought (see profile picture) and is the motorcycle that i am still using today. Using this bike make me realize the big difference of the performance on both motorcycles that i have used and still using it till this day. All the time i used the motorcycle, i involved with a couple times of small accidents and 1 big accident with my new bike (sob). The big accident gives me 17 stitches to all my limbs make me walk funky for weeks. Right now im currently working on my driving license which may give me a new experience of driving. Im sure everyone have their own life on the road. And maybe more interesting. Last word is 'drive safe, think of yourself'.
