Usually I kept a standard Travel packing list for various kind of travels. You may have one list for long trip oversea and another for day trip to nearby location. I find that it really handy & helps you to pack quickly. You just need to add extras item when you think you may need to cover special activities.

So for typically Motorbike day trip, a daytrip backpack, basic first aid kit, sunblock & GPS are my essential. Not shown in photo are the extra T-shirt, water bag, energy snacks). I only need to thrown in extras like insect repellent since i anticipate I may trek a little.

One of the more useful gadget I acquire is this portable GPS. While I may not have use them frequently for short trips & familiar routes, I still find them useful in helping to remember POI (Point of Interests) as well as occasion location verification just to ensure I’m right on track. Previously, I have relied on map & compass. But after my driving trip around North Thailand (Mae Hong Son Loop), I find the compass & map to be difficult to use especially on winding terrains / roads.

So there, just sharing some of my travel experiences … have a good weekend!

Located at Commonwealth Ave Cooked Food Center, Hai Kee Teochew Char Kuay Teow remains to be one of my favorite Char Kuay Teow in Singapore. At S$2.50 generous amount of See hum (Blood cockles) thrown in, it’s really good value for money. Besides that, the Wok Hei is fantastic and friendly uncle is ever so accommodating to customer various requests.

Lately, I found that he has a website @ http://www.haikee.com.sg/
I wonder why he would ever need to have that *chuckle*, the long queue is always there daily!

Tires, being your only contacts with the tarmac, are absolutely the most important components on the whole automotive system. Without them, you can’t move & control your vehicle. And when you can’t control, you & your vehicle becomes with a road hazard to others around you. This is downright irresponsible to other road users & your family (since you are endangering yourself as well)

Hence, always sadden me when I see such irresponsible drivers / riders on the road. Just look at the worn-out tires! Besides, this is a huge commercial truck, it would be disastrous in event of mishaps due to tires.

And to add salt to the wound, their spare tires weren’t in good condition as well too. I sincerely hope Johor authorities do something so control this situation.
