Of durians and speed traps

Last week, I returned home from Ipoh but not before stopping by Gopeng where under a shady tree outside the market, D24 durians were sold at RM10/biggest plastic you can get hold of which could hold 3 normal size durians that sell for RM60 in Klang Valley. I bought RM30 which ended up in 4 plastic bags and to me was a bargain and I planned to distribute them later. I travelled in air-con style and by the time I reached Rawang R&R, I stopped to relieve myself. Leaving the R&R, the smell of the durians inside the car by then was too strong so I decided to pull down the windows and brought the car to 110kph hoping to quickly extract the odour. At about the same time, I came to the Rawang flyover. I still kept to 110kph as the smell was overpowering only to see a traffic cop aim his speed gun on me. If that were an 80kph area, I had it. And to think that 95% of the time, I was driving at 100-110kph as time was on my side. :-(

Visit to UM's training centre in Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan

The weekend had just passed by where on Saturday, I had to Google Navigate wifey and her 2 coach full of students to a place I myself have never been before some distant place north of Kuala Kwalang, district capital of Jelebu to Universiti Malaysia's seminar centre so in that respect, it was an adventure for me too as it was my first experience on LEKAS highway which if you drove a supercar, you could do 250+kph as the highway was straight and had not much traffic.
