I used to drive a SUV (sports utility vehicle) many years ago - about two decades ago when SUVs were rare, few and far between. Unlike its popularity now when almost every other vehicle on the road is a SUV, owning and driving one back in the early 90’s was rather uncommon.

Long story short, that ownership of a SUV didn't last very long as I eventually … [Read more...]

Sunday Curry Tiffin Lunch @ The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur
