Need to welcome Kong Weng into the 4×4 pickup club! Now you just need to get rid of those lousy tires and replace them with a set of Duellers in AT (or MT for the hard core!).

Lord Vader needs his ride in Black!

On a Friday like a Sunday

Don't Panik

Starting with an early morning visit to a friendly local mechanic, it was then to the nearby coffee shop more famous for its curry noodles and assam laksa. Of course being 9am, it was too early for that so we had chee cheong fun and nasi lemak instead. After that, it was downtown KL for a shopping spree but that’s not all, throw in a run back to 1Utama to add to the fray and then back to the now familar coffee shop for a late lunch. Of course this time, we had the famous Assam Laksa. Anyways, then it’s back home to continue cleaning and packing!

Yummilicous asam laksa!
Few customers at 3pm!
Drop-off and pickup!
