This is the truck that was pulling nothing. It look extremely short. Do you think that it looks cute? It looks like a huge big-headed cute worm moving on the highway. I like to see this type of vehicle especially without the trailer.

I did not noticed it until I viewed this photo in my computer. The rear wheels of this truck were actually not touching the road surface.

Not all of the big headed truck do this, but this one also same as the above. They must have some reasons for doing this. May be to make this vehicle more efficient and flexible.

This is another big headed truck in different pattern.
Usually SiewPeng and I call these big trucks dinosaurs when they carry trailer or big / multiple goods container, but when it carries nothing we may call it a worm because of its shape.

When a dinosaur is beside you and overtake you, you can feel that there is a strong wind and a hidden power that move you to the side or create a big vibration.I have this experience when I rode my bicycle last time. Therefore when a dinosaur appear or moving into your ways, you must be careful.
I took all of these photos on the Malaysia longest highway which is called North-South Expressway in Peninsular Malaysia. While I was taking these photos, I noticed that the traffic is always busy, and I can see a lot of small to huge vehicles rushing towards their destination. The things that came across my mind was that I hope everybody on this expressway (which is about 966KM) can safely reach their destination. And I prayed for them while I was on the bus.
We have heard too many bad stories happened here and I have seen some of them with my own eyes as well. I asked myself, “Are there any happy or good things ever happened here as well?” and I tried to think very hard and I have got one answer. Yes, may be there were friends who had lost each others contact but met up again at the rest area. What else? Tell me if you have some good stories on this highway.
This highway is the second home for the bus or truck drivers and other frequent users. Some of them travel only short distance, but some may travel from the North to the South that can be longer than 900KM. I tried to imagine what is the bus and truck driver’s feeling like when they are travelling for a long distance. Not only the distance is long, but they repeat the process 5 or 6 days a weeks and with countless of departure and return trips. Won’t they feel boring? For me, I have taken 200 photos on this highway in a single trip, and I have decided not to take any photos again until I see anything that’s new to me. I can’t imagine what happen if I become a driver. If a driver travel for a short distance it may be worse because he has to repeat the route up to 6 times or more in a day. These drivers will be able to name out all the exit names without having to memorise them.
If I have a chance, I want to be a dinosaur driver. But one time is enough.

Our seat was really high until we were able to see what was carried by a lorry. If you use a normal car I bet you can’t. Don’t be jealous. If you want to do what I have done, just take a bus and sit at the first row.

These are the different types of “Dinosaurs”. Some big fat dinosaurs are good at chasing you but when they climb up the hill, they will lose. Some of them won’t allow you to overtake them when they are cornering because they may use up your lane as well, you don’t know when.

Parts of this highway gives a warm and comfortable feeling brought by the different colours on the billboards, buildings, cute signboard, rest area and nice nature feature such as waterfall. But some of the features are not, they may bring negative feelings such as up and down of a hill that makes us dizzy, caught in the traffic jam but do not know what happen in front, the white colour soil on the hill beside the road which won’t tell you that when it is going to cause a landslide. However, it is useless for us to have these negative feelings. Just keep our mind positive and we will reach our destination.
This highway gives me a view on the journey in our life towards our destination, they may be something positive and negative that coming towards our direction. But we have to take the positive mindset and eliminate the negative ones. In this way, the positive thinking will move us further and the negative thinking won’t be able to slow us down. Another important thing is to keep ourselves awakened and becareful while taking each step in our journey. We will reach our destination.
Dear Dinosaur, please be careful while you are running, don’t hurt poeple around you on the highway, they are same as you having their own destination that they are going to reach.
Dear bus driver, you are the only person who can make sure that your dinosaur won’t eat people. Please remember.
Dear North South Expressway users, your beloved and your relatives, Lets forget what we should forget, and remember what we should remember. We should continue our journey.
