3D 2N Melaka trip with Bikers Team!
1. Thicker wind breaker
2. Have yr sports shoes on
3. Definitely to wear jeans
The last entry when I stated that I do not know how I felt when having to go to Melaka, I know it now... It was totally great and a whole new experience. Not the usual taking of coach up to Malaysia but a big group of us riding all the way up to Melaka...
A total of 9 bikes... Sports bike to be specific!!! My fav bike... HONDA BLACKBIRD
The one Dominic used to ride but now he got himself a Silverwing. It's a pretty bike but comparing to speed, it's a losing point as compared to Blackbird. I also like Ben's bike.... First SUZUKI bike in Singapore. Damn cool!!!
We had a delay in departure due to the heavy rain beforehand. But weather was dry and cool for our ride up to Melaka. Quite heavy traffic along the
N-S highway till Pagoh due to major accident. Close to 3 hours of ride up to Melaka is totally tedious. Back aching like nobody's business.
It was a successful mission arriving at the Celub shop at 12.20am on Friday night and we all managed to have our satay celup. Something which you cannot find in Singapore. 'Satay Steamboat'. Totally awesome...
Finally we all reached Eric's house and oh my... his house porch is big enough to park 9 big bikes without much problem. Finally we all knocked out after a tiring journey.
Eric's parents very nice and hospitable. They even took the trouble to get an extra car for us and Veggie food for Kwan who is a vegetarian.
Saturday morning, I was the first to wake up though I slept very late. Only a few of us were awake so we decided to go for a light breakfast. Woohoo... Slacked awhile, take pictures, I had pictures with poses on Ben's bike.. Cant wait to receive the pictures...
Melaka famous Chicken Rice Balls for lunch...
Walked up the hill to St Paul Church with Eric, Sean and Dominic... Great scenery and what's best was the cooling wind blowing against us
But very soon, it was time to return back to the house as Team A had to leave for Singapore... Haa... too bad for them... for they missed out a great seafood dinner.
Eric's mother specially ordered fresh seafood for the restaurant to prepare and yup we ate on behalf of Team A.
Then came the worse part of the night. Clubbing seems to be the usual plan in every trips.
There's this gal I just got to know and she stands a freaking 180m tall. *FAINTS*
She is not only tall... she really can club and dance non-stop. And because she is super tall, that makes her very eye-catching. But the moment she starts dancing... I start to shake my head and walk out all the way till I reach the table outside the club with my head still shaking. LOL...
I think I have seriously not within the teenage era... My time has turned back to the 70s - 90s hardrock... lol... But seriously, by 2am... my eyes are starting to close... but she insisted that we go on bike rounding, and I was already so tired. Just to impress the people in Malaysia... -_-'''
But I was freaked out when I was almost gonna be thrown off the bike twice. It's not the biker's fault but just that it's the Malaysia roads are horrible... filled with big potholes.
Then I remembered about my step-cousin who passed away like coming to a year now. How badly he died. The whole situation was similar to mine. Going out in a big group... all bikers... Dun tell me that they were not speeding... because the minimum speed on the N-S highway was 110km/hr. And most of them were riding over 150km/hr.
Reasons for his nasty death
1. Was too tired to concentrate on the roads
2. Was speeding too fast and lost control to brake
By the time we were back... I knocked out after washing up, all the way till 12pm the next day and that they had to buy food back for those who were still sleeping.
Sunday was practically a lazy day... slacking all the way before setting off for Singapore.
Love talking to Annie, Kwan's wife. Got to know a lot about her. I already have the plans to learn and get my bike license but after this trip, I'm even more tempted to get it but at the same time I am very afraid.
Finally it was time to head back to Singapore. This time, I see and experience an accident in front of my eyes which happened just beside us. In my heart I was thinking at that point of time was that, it could have been us, been knocked down and injured very badly as the car behind was driving at great speed.
Oh well, but overall, I never regretted going on the bike trip to Melaka.
Pictures will be uploaded to my friendster once Alan uploads the pictures in the forum.
Back at home yesterday... it so happen that Penny also knows Michael.. what a small world this is. Had a great time talking to him and crapping a lot.
Looking forward for the supper meet up and to be his pillion then... lol... Hahaha... Penny... you take the front, I take the back. Yeah!!! LOL...
After this trip.... I have also come up with a conclusion....
I really love my life as a SINGLETON... I have all the freedom to myself, having to go anyway I like.
