It is always interesting to take the kampong route to get to small towns, especially when your traveling companion is a friend from abroad. This is the best way to get in touch with the life of the people.

When I went to Port Dickson recently, I filled up with PETRONAS PRIMAX 3 in Jalan Maarof, Bangsar, before hitting the North South Highway. We stopped to do some shopping at Nilai, after which I took a detour to Jln Salak Tinggi, Sepang, passed KL International Airport and re-entered Negeri Sembilan at Bukit Pelanduk.

My Japanese friend was amazed to see the large variety of fruits sold so cheaply along the kampong roads. There were rambutans, mangosteens and durians, especially along the Salak Tinggi stretch. Getting a kampong durian for less than RM2 was definitely a bargain.

It was really a  pleasant drive too as we ate some of the fruit along the way. It was the first durian my friend had tasted. Though he thought it tasted good, he said the smell was too strong for him to really enjoy it.

At Nilai, he was surprised that we could buy four metres of cloth for as little as RM5. Nilai is the new educational hub. There are colleges, golf courses and new housing estates that offer super deals.

The town is peaceful and full of greenery. The streets are generally well planned and are lined with palm trees and flowering plants in giant pots.

Port Dickson, of course, offers some of the best beaches for a short holiday. When we reached PD, the petrol indicator of our Proton Waja 1.6 showed only a quarter of the PETRONAS PRIMAX 3 used, which worked out to only 15sen per kilometer.

Wow! With such savings on fuel,  we decided to drive further along the coastal road to take in the scenery by the sea.-by JOHN TIONG

“I’m sure I’ve always wanted to do everything,” said the multi-talented self-confessed schizo-phrenic in an interview with KLIA Times. “My brain goes a mile a minute sometimes. I just fall into things. And when I see the door and what’s behind it and I like it , I’m like a dog with a bone. So far, so good.”
Born July 3,1972 in Kent, Asha was schooled and raised in the United Kingdom. She came to Malaysia to be with her parents in Seremban. But she returned to the UK to take her O-Levels and A-Levels and went on to do her Bachelors in Science in Quantity Surveying at Kingston Poly, Surrey.
After a stint in production work in the UK, Asha decided to come to Malaysia to stay for good. This decision proved instrumental in shaping her career. Her talent in modeling and hosting was quickly recognized. She began getting one high-profile job after another and firmly launched her career.
Asha first made a name for herself as a Channel [V] VJ (1999-2003), though she did get credits for directing, producing and writing for the company.  “Now that is what I love. To be a proper part of the team,” she said. (more…)
