One Hot Encounter in Segamat

I love visiting Malaysia. Everytime I go on a road trip, I would have exciting encounters that make great photos for my Blog!

Last weekend, Joshie baby and I, together with almost the whole of his company, drove up to Segamat to attend a colleague's wedding.

When we entered into Yong Peng and neared Segamat, I noticed thick black smoke billowing in the distant skies.




"Someone must be burning rubber," said Josh.




All other vehicles slowed to a crawl to marvel at the burning heap. I was having fun snapping away on my camera. This wasn't a common sight in Singapore!




Then as we neared it, I realised it was a car on fire!

Whoa! It wasn't just burning rubber, dude! It was burning metal too!

Hey I risked my life to take this photo. I had to stick my arms out of the window to get this shot as Joshie drove past. The heat was so intense, I could feel it on my face. Heck, I could even hear the flames crackling!

I had meant to take another shot as we passed the front of the burning car, but it was just too hot. And I suddenly realised that there was a possibility that the fuel tank has not exploded. It could be waiting for me.

So I urged darling to drive on faster before I was made to pay for my sins of gluttony, sloth and incredible lust.

And by golly! As we passed, I noticed that the burning car was a Volvo. Bah! And they say Volvos are very safe cars. Tsk tsk.
