Our day at the scenic and peaceful hill resort of Cameron Highlands soon came to an end. But the mood wasn't at all dreary, because we left the best for the last - a one-night stopover in the town of Melaka.

First, some group shots to capture the memories.

Soon, the convoy was good to go.

Traffic was relatively light, and we were lucky to make it to our night's stayover before dusk.

That gave us some time to explore the town. Of course, we had to pay a visit to the famous food streets.

The hotel had a rustic feel to it, similar to the shophouses we have in Chinatown.

The day ended with a night trail, where we took a short river boat tour around the small town.

Next morning, it was time to head back home. The guys from Idemitisu made sure the cars were ready for the final leg of the road trip.

While all good things come to an end, the trip was definitely a fruitful one. The cars ran smoothly and faultlessly throughout the entire journey without any hiccups. The primary data from the trip is also very positive. From the data collected from the road trip, Idemitsu's Extreme Eco 0W20 and 5W30 grade engine oil achieved the most significant fuel savings of 9.1 percent and 6.2 percent respectively.

 

Road trips can't get any better than this.

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    The fun in collecting postcards without (really ever) sending them

    I believe I may not be alone when I say that I’m quite the avid collector of postcards, but rarely ever send them out to family or friends. To some, this might seem counterintuitive, even wasteful. But for me, these miniature works of art serve a different purpose. They're windows into distant lands; time capsules of bygone eras; and conversation starters par excellence. In fact, in a city as fast-paced as Singapore, where our lives often revolve around our vehicles and the next destination

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 7)

    Ok, the title might be slightly misleading, but there is still a Japan-link.  So, pufferfish. Specifically, a wikipedia entry called Pufferfish mating ritual.  Long story short, one particular species of pufferfish make complex geometric circles in the sand to attract a mate. And this particular species is found only in Japan.  It's beautiful. It's bizarre. And it's absolutely amazing.  From the wikipedia entry: In a 2014 documentary by the BBC, narrator David Atten
