This is how the accident happen

It was raining. The weather was stormy.

The car was rented, and luckily , on a full insur

ance protection. 

The car was a manual transmission car , while the driver is a auto-idiot who barely drives a manual car. 

It was mountain road, the corners rivals the most treacherous turnings in Genting highland. And there was this mysterious signboard ... 

Wondering what it is. It is not snowing , so the problem comes down to what the heck is "grit" 

Well , this is grit :

Grit is the sand they put on the mountain roads to increase grip of your vehicle in the case of snowing.

So what does it matters to the driver ?

The driver was driving at the speed of 60 KMPH , which is below the warning signpost's 65KMPH before the turn. The car hit a small stone. It jumped a little , and moved outward towards the right lane , where the car would be coming in the opposite direction. The driver panicked and steered the car to the left. The car drifted on the grit, lost control,  and it crashed to the hillside at the left. The car went uphill, then turned over , and landed on its side. 

The first thing the driver said was to tell the other passenger to get off from the car, coz he thought the car is going to explode, with its upside down position. He found the seatbelt, he unbuckled it, and he stands up. He frantically search for the key and off the engine immediately, thinking that a live engine will ignite. 

Then a person appeared on the side window .. the driver of the car infront has pulled over and came to help. He tried to open the door of the car. 

Both the driver and the passenger got out of the car and were driven by the kind passerby to a nearby town. Then they followed the local towing company's uncle back to the accident site to tow the car back.

On the way, the towing guy said accident offten occurs there. And 2 days ago some couple just had their car rolled down the hill ( which appears to be on the RIGHT side of where the accident happenned , lucky oo) 

The driver and the passenger were no hurted at all ... the car is damaged , with the front windshield shattered. Thank god !

P/S : The idiot driver is me ~

One Day Trip From JB to Endau Rompin

The National Park which is far far away from this n only reachable with 4WD car. But at last luckily we found this water fall, if not really waste the petrol n also entrance fee lo

6.2 gathering... so called

A lil catching up with a few good friends... though its quite a pity that others can't make it... Anyway, it was a pretty awesome time together as most of us haven't seen each other for some time...

We went for the movie - X-man which was great followed by dinner at old market near Taman Sentosa, I suppose... not too sure either... The funny thing was, the place for dinner was suggested by a most unlikely person which was ABSENT! funny ain't it? XD
Nevertheless, we still went there... lol...

The rest are histories...

Vietnam Backpack Dec 2008

I fell in love with Backpacking ever since I came back from United States last year. Since then, I've been planning to go backpack in other countries. It's a natural choice to choose Vietnam and Cambodia since these 2 destinations are more affordable and more suitable for beginners like us ( well, probably not , i realized after the trip ). So , a gang of 8, including 3 Atlantiz members and 5 of my friends embarked on this eventful journey.

I'm not going to write much , instead I'll  just show some (perhaps alot) photos and adding some comments here n there where appropriate . If you got any question about the backpacking experience (cost, planning, place of interests etc ), please leave a comment here, I'll try my best to answer.

let's get the photos rolling !

Fly ... and we fly ...


An ubiquitous scene in Vietnam


Typical street in Hanoi


Night in Hanoi


A very warm and kind Auntie, she made us some super-delicious baguet( french bread , stuffed with some char siew + vegetables ). We met here while we were strolling around Hanoi's old street looking for cheap lunch. She's our savior while we thought all hope's lost.


A very authentic Vietnam morning market. We found that most places that are accessible to the tourists becoming more touristy and have already evolved to suit the needs of the tourists. We were lucky to find this secluded section of the old streets and experienced some really unique bargaining with local vietnamese.


Ong cheekily hides behind this camera-shy auntie. So cute this photo.



We were extremely interested in local delicacies .. Here you see is a typical scenario where we bargain for the food. Bargaining is an important factor in buying food... or you'll end up broke after just a few meals.


One of the Streets in the 36-old streets.





This is an interesting picture. In vietnam, people like to sit down by the roadside and start eating. The benches are extremely small and definitely unfit for the westerners. It was a lot of fun eating out vietnamese style in Hanoi. Tho the hygiene of the food is highly questioned.


There are the cables that can be found anywhere in Big cities in Vietnam. Quite impressive eh ? I wonder how the technician figure out which cable's faulty when doing maintainance.





If you have the chance to visit Hanoi , look for this auntie. She sells the best Pho( beef noodles ) in Vietnam. I guarantee that.















Here , notice the sahkat (long live RO !) wore by the locals. Almost everyone wears a hat like that. And the way they carry stuffs around , they'll just choose to sit anywhere they like and start doing business at as early as 4-5 a.m. .


Vietnamese ren shen guo ... I remember asking the lady to cut the fruit for us so that we can taste it on the spot. Yummy ~


Ong took this photo. What's he thinking ? He wanna bring out the " laid back" lifestyle in Vietnam ? Haha. A cute photo too.


I dont know why i included this picture, but I thought this's quite cute...




That's it for the first post ... more to come !

Xu shen aka 0 aka the manager
