Leave a Comment

Recently, I found back some of the essays. Those essays are written by my siblings or me during secondary school or primary school time. It is very interesting to read back our expedition. We joined this expedition with Penang 4x4 Adventure Club.  This is one of the best adventure in my life. We drove all the way from Johor Bahru to Cambodia. Yes,  TRAVEL BY ROAD. It is an experience once in my life time.

Thanks you parents for giving us such wonderful experience. The cost of this expedition was unknown. I was only Form 3 students in 2002. I only know to eat, sleep and play to the fullness.

Mitsubishi Pajero was a wonderful car. I really miss the  time travel with family members with this great car.

It is an old but beautiful temple. After lunch, we went to rose garden. We went to see the Thai cultural show and elephants’ show. We were “trapped” in the Bangkok traffic jam and we had to cancel our trip to the Four-faced Buddha. At night, we went to the paper doll show. We were tired when we went back to our hotel at night.

We are very proud to drive our national car, Peroduo Kembara to Cambodia. I think we are the first Malaysia produced car to reach Cambodia. It is quite a good car but too oil consumption.
