On the 28 December 2008, after a month of planning, around 60 participants of MNKC gathered with their own individual rides of various models namely RioJB, Spectra, Spectra5, Caren, Rondo, Optima, Optima 2008 and RIA at the parking lot of Naza Kia Sdn. Bhd., Selayang eagerly waiting for official flag off session for their Annual Trip to Avillion Resort & Spa located at Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. We were welcome by Cik Zuraidah, representative from Naza Kia Sdn. Bhd. which are generous enough in providing each of the MNKC participants a packed breakfast to start our journey.

As early as 8.00 am in the morning, the President of MNKC, Izharudin a.k.a Izhar together with the Chief Marshall of MNKC, Shahrudin a.k.a Caren916 and all the assigned Marshalls on duty had been on stand-by at the location in order to arrange the participants' ride for the convoy. They also did a check up on all drivers to make sure that each and everyone has gone through and done with the necessary important checklist such as their car must be on full tank petrol, valid road tax and drivers' license as well as well functioning smart tag reader and card. All these are needed before the convoy journey starts as to make sure that the convoy will run smoothly according to schedule and without unnecessary disruption for safety measures.

A short briefing by the President and the Chief Marshall was held 10 minutes before departure as a reminder to all members especially the drivers of all the important aspects during the convoy that needs to be adhered to. We also had a brief 'doa selamat" for the whole trip and group photos taken shortly before the convoy took off.

Sharp at 10.00 am as scheduled, accompanied by music played by bagpipes’ duet, MNKC convoy took off officially escorted by 4 Polis DiRaja Malaysia Riders on a flag off session by Mr Suresh, GM from Naza Kia Sdn. Bhd. The convoy which was led by the President itself was divided into 2 groups with 2 assigned Marshalls as the Lead Car and Sweeper for each group for safety measures went on smoothly without any glitches all the way to Port Dickson as planned.

We arrived at Muzium Tentera Darat at 12 noon according to schedule for a 2 hour historical visit and later move on to the foodcourt at Teluk Kemang for an hour lunch break. Around 3.00 pm, we continue our journey straight to Avillion Resort & Spa where we safely checked in around 3.30 pm at our each booked Water Chalet.

We gather back at 6.30 pm for dinner at a pre-booked seafood restaurant located 5 minutes away from the hotel and to make the trip more eventful for the members, a lucky draw session took place around 10.00 pm. Thanks to all of our sponsors namely KL Auto, Ultra Racing and also K1A Metro Services, lots of prizes were given away to almost all participants in terms of performance parts, vouchers and hampers. The night ends with a karaoke session back at the hotel.

After 2 days of free and easy holiday which were well spend with family and friends, sharing stories and laughter over meals and lounging at the swimming pool, everyone went home with heart full of joy and memories to be cherished. As for the President and the Annual Trip Committee, satisfaction and extra joy remained in the heart as another successful trip was done with and the most important thing is, one of MNKC objective is being fulfilled once again that is to bond a stronger ties between members of the club.
