Drive Carefully On The Highway During Hungry Ghost Festival

Filed under: Cars — Home Cleaning Work At Home Mom @ 9:55 am

Just as Halloween is for the Americans, the ‘Hungry Ghost festival’ is for the Chinese. Hungry Ghost Festival falls on the 7 th month of the Chinese Lunar Calendar.

Hungry Ghost festival is a popular occasion that is taken quite seriously by the Chinese. It is believed by the Chinese that during this month, the gates of hell are opened to free the hungry ghosts who then wander to seek food on Earth. Some even think that the ghosts would seek revenge on those who had wronged them in their lives.

The reason why the Chinese celebrate this festival is to remember their dead family members and pay tribute to them. They also feel that offering food to the deceased appeases them and wards off bad luck.

Talking about bad luck, my buddy just informed me that her hubby had to resort to spending some hard-earned money to hire a truck accident lawyer to fight for justice and compensation for him of personal injury in accident last week.

Get Me My Toolbox, Please !

Filed under: Cars — Tags: , , , , — Home Cleaning Work At Home Mom @ 3:59 pm

Almost every family in Cameron Highlands owns a truck. It’s not surprising at all to see that some even have a few trucks as they have numerous fruit and vegetable farms.

It’s a common sight to see trucks fully equipped with truck toolboxes. They are must-have for trucks as they come in handy to truck drivers whenever the trucks break down at midnight and no one is in sight at that moment !

Though we are not driving any truck, we also put a medium truck toolbox in our car for safety and convenience purposes.

How To Avoid Speed Traps & Saman In Malaysia ?

Filed under: Cars — Tags: , , , , , , , , — Home Cleaning Work At Home Mom @ 11:03 am

Fellow Malaysians, please drive carefully on federal and state roads by abiding by the 80kph speed limit as the National Day Celebration is around the corner. Ops Sikap will be launched soon to lower the death toll on federal and state roads.

If you have the tendency to exceed the speed limit, jump queue, beat the red light, use the emergency lane or overtake along double lines ,you will be slapped with a maximum fine of RM300 !!

What about installing a radar detector to determine if your speed is being monitored by a radar unit ? Are radar detectors completely legal to use ? Yes, in non-commercial vehicles in 49 states. Only Virginia and Washington D.C. currently ban radar detector use in the United States.

What about Malaysia ? As far as I am concerned – Tak Boleh !! Illegal !

According to a friend who is a Physics lecturer, he confirms that there is no way that the police can detect the use of a radar detector unless it is under laboratory conditions.
