MERSING SUNDAY RIDE


BACKSIDE PAIN!!
Beautiful Sunday and we set off to Mersing Malaysia
We meet at Kranji MRT station. Five of us, 4 phantom n 1 Honda Wave.


my bike is popular for photo taking....hehe

Woodlands custom was slightly jam on this Sunday. We waited in the Q quite awhile before we get through. It was my first time going to Malaysia with my Phantom Pandy. Those who know, i have a very wide handle bar and 2 side box with chrome frame. I am just afraid that i could not squeeze through the small lane in front of the immigration counter. The kerb is high and it almost touching my side box as the box are low. It was tough and i manage to just squeeze through the lane.
We parked at the causeway just before the Malaysia custom to take our white card. Weather looks good and quite cooling this morning. Robert and Darren are all so excited to roar the machine.

All smiles....

Malaysia custom no jam. not a single bike queuing, only the five of us. Robert recommend us a Wanton noodle stall nearby in JB. We follow him and head for our breakfast.
Nice old shop houses and good food. We are all ready to fill our stomach and have a cup of coffee.
my bike looks like....umm..


can't stop eating while talking... wanton noodle taste so good..

Delicious wanton noodle breakfast with coffee kau kau
After filling our stomach, is time to fill the machine with V-POWER RACING......!
I top up my tank around RM 13.50. Feel the power but i think V-POWER in Singapore is better. We head off to Kota Tinggi. Short ride to Kota Tinggi, so we decided not to rest... After maybe around 1 hrs of riding we took a rest at a stop over, go pee, drink water and photo taking..


The five of us.... smiling but backside pain and hand numb..
The sun just came out and we start to feel hot and we are more excited about the ride than the weather. Beautiful scenery and nice clean road to ride. No traffic, the road almost belong to us with occasional cars passing by.

Highway 66

Forget about the time, but i guess we reach mersing around 11am.... we TCSS near the beach. Photo taking again, so vain. Robert notice three girls (not in bikini) was looking at us. But our heart was on the trip... we ignore them........how stupid was us. We saw the local fisherman caught some kingcrab...

mersing beach under the coconut tree...

Kingcrab

After much needed rest we head for seafood lunch. The usual air-con restaurant was closed, so we ended up in some local coffee shop, but the food still delicious.... we enjoyed our lunch with a few bottles of beer.... woow man...!

Beer time..

Is time to do some shopping for our gf, mum and dad... local delights.. cuttlefish, salted fish, lemon honey juicy and many more.... we brought quite alot.. and basically leaving RM 20 behind for petrol. Petrol station was just beside the shop and we pump up (RM10) and all ready to go back... still feel the backside pain!!
On our way back, we stopped once near the road side, drink water... and of course take photo again.... are all those guys or what...? keep taking photos... hehe.. just kidding. Nice scenery and good weather, very important.


take five.....

Upon reaching JB we went for a coffee break... it was 5pm than. Not to late, just nice timing to come back. BUT...!! backside pain!! After coffee, we top up our favourite V-POWER RACING. RM 7 for full tank.. After that we head back to singapore....
I was separate with the others bcoz i was waiting for them at the wrong road. So i have to go back alone. The traffic near the JB custom was terrible. Big jam i have to squeeze through traffic. My nightmare came!! As i said before, i have a big side box, so at some points i cant squeeze through, but the gab still good for smaller bike. So i got horn from the bikes behind... Fuck it... so piss off..
Finally i manage to go pass all traffic and went into the bikes lane at JB custom... I keep left and exit without getting my passport chop...!! That was my 2nd nightmare.. What should i do? How should i go back to get it chop?.. I am so confused.. By the time i realise... i am at the singapore custom already.. No way to U-turn.... I proceed to enter Singapore...
Reached home 6.30pm.... BACKSIDE PAIN!!

Overall rating for this trip is 4 star

See u guys next time...





Update :

I have settled my passport issue. That's how it goes........

After 6 days coming back from Mersing without a stamp from malaysian custom, I asked my malaysian friend to pillion me back to JB. We went thru the Sin custom as per normal, checked passport and go thru. When we reached the malaysian custom, we took the malaysian bike lane, meaning that there will be no check of passport or stamp. Phew, finally back into malaysia. It was like i spended the last 6 days in Malaysia.... Took 6 days for me to reached Sin from Mersing...haha. We went for dinner in JB.. Nice dinner with Curry fish head, samba sotong, stingray and of course, BEER.... We also got to watched the Man U vs Wigan (4-0) Cheers to all Man U fans. We left for home around 11 plus.. Alittle jam near the custom.. This time I will not miss the malaysia custom again.. Get my passport stamp and went straight home.. HSH...
