| 05/11/2000 Desaru Desaru is situated at the East Coast of West Peninsula of Malaysia. It is famous for the Resort Style Chalets or Hotels by the Beach... As usual, we planned to meet at 851.....8.30am..But the rain delayed our Trip...Ah Mun was the first to arrived...that shows how eager he was for that short Trip...Not forgetting to mentioned Tony was the last to turned up...and after Tony's finished his wanton Noodle, Kopi and cigarette..Finally, we set off at 10am. We headed for the Tuas Secondlink....Although it was further this way...But we all agreed that's better than the Woodlands Causeway..that would hurt our bumps.. We topped up at Gelang Patah ESSO.....For me...RM21/- a full tank for the 240km through and fro. The N-S Highway are the one that we are long awaiting for to clear all the carbon deposited in our piston blocks in Singapore. We travelled at a cool and easy pace of 150-160km/hr till JB exit...An that Taman Perling!!... The Mega irritating road conditions in Taman Perling kept our bumps busy...the potholes...uneven road surfaces are one the worst in JB. From Taman Perling...we were heading for Kota Tinggi...then Desaru.. Along the way.....safe and easy...but the 600cc was lagged behind alittle bit. Before reaching Kota Tinggi...a green Proton Wira by the plate of BEJ xxxx dashed passed me........and headed for Roy's bike..and that bastards just cut into Roy's lane...and that's almost hit him. Shortly, the Proton stopped at the Traffic light....And we..7 bikes.. surrounded the Proton...while Roy knocked the drivers window repeatedly and it was real hard that I could heard the loud banging noise although I am at the left rear of the car. There were 3 Malay boys in their early 20s....They were agressive at first until they noticed that they were surrounded by us.....and started to apologised...Some exchanged of words between Roy and the Malay Boys...we decided to leave them alone and carry on with the Trip since they have already apologised..What's the point!!! A right turn at Kota Tinggi T-junction..and the road becomes one lane only...And alot of overtaking have to be done. On the way...there are alot of fruit sellers.....And we picked up 3kg of Rambutan..And thanks for the CBR600F4 for ferrying the Rambutan..And by 11.30am......we were at the Desaru Beach. Desaru got a nice beach......much better than Our East Coast.....Although Pulau Sibu..or Pulau Aur can be better. The current was strong due to the North East Monsoon from the South China Sea.......but who cares........And we just dipped into the sea ASAP. We headed to Holiday Plaza at 3.30pm..and was caught in the rain once we set off.....Sigh!! Tony and me got no raincoat..God damn it!! Waited at a coffeeshop near Desaru for 30 minutes and ate that nothing can be worst Nasi Pattaya...No choice eventually........I rode all the way back with T-shirt and a pair of jean. we stopped at Holiday Plaza to buy Contact lenses and Qingyang cut his hair at RM18/-.....cool har??? 7pm..We gathered again and headed back to 851...we stopped by Taman Perling to buy Fried Chickens by the road side and ate it at 851. |
