Travel 2300km pusing satu Malaya dengan Perodua Kancil selama 11 hari
12 States of Peninsular Malaysia in our Kancil
Our last roadtrip with our Lamboryellowghini (Perodua Kancil) was in 2016. We clocked a mileage about 1700km. So was my vlog in my Youtube channel, that was the last one.
I stopped vlogging for a while when my desktop crashed & since then I started shooting more pictures than videos. Right after Krabi, I sent Lamboryellowghini for certain make overs. Engine overhauled, installed the roof box, changed to semi-bucket, rewired the audio & replaced the shocks. All upgraded were done with one aim, for our next epic journey.
2017 was a special year as our family grew. We had Tasmia, completing Tamimi's angels trio. And December seems the right time since she will be 9 month old by then. Right but not perfect because she can't sit still most of the time & always wanted to practice her walk. Plus, she always made her puss in boot's face every time we eat. Hoping that we share our food.
So, tour the peninsular with family in a Kancil may sounds a bit crazy. Maybe because that's just us. Crazy over tiny, nimble, durable & cheap machine for our crazy travel timeline. According to my wife, as long as the aircond works, vrooom! Here we go. (Actually, my Kancil sounds vriiiiim)
Like our previous roadtrip, the journey should be enjoyable & meaningful. Granted that I am now juggling with 3 lil mermaids. It was a bonus if I could hold my camera & record as we go. Hence why the shots were only in certain places. I borrowed a DJI Spark from a good friend of mine, Fifi. Only after we reached Gerik I managed to pilot that tiny U.F.O.. I might buy the drone from him.
Some good shots were possible when we set a maximum drive time about 3 hours drive in a day. Credit to my wife who also pre-plan our baggage every time we checked in & out. We only start to move when Tasmia had her breakfast & morning poo poo. Preferably went for brunch & early dinner so that we can save a lot of time (tired of waiting).
About 40% of accommodation weren't pre-booked. That was intentional just to allow flexibility for us to check the location & distance with other attractions as we go. Importantly, always fill up my gas tank when half full. We last our peninsular roadtrip about 2300km & spent RM300 for petrol (RON95 @ RM2.25 & RM2.26 per litre during time of travel).

Like any other working middle class dad, I'm so proud of my daughters. They are the best company for the roadtrip. & because of them, it was an epic journey. Credit to Tihani (5 year old daughter) who did the voice over for this video. Yes, we recorded all of them under the blanket.
