hohoho

just realised i actually forgot to blog about this chapter of my life hah!

most prob one of the craziest thing i've ever done (and never will again!) before i officially hit my quarter-life crisis.

60KM CYCLING TRIP IN DESARU, MALAYSIA!

why did i even agree.
i must be out of my mind.


our rented bikes (Click pic to enlarge)

we were supposed to meet real early in changi village to get our bikes and get on the bum boat to make our way to malaysia.

we were a little late cos the bus took super long (miscalculation) but nevermind. we weren't only the only latecomers haha but most of them have arrived. our cycling group is made up of seventeen people who are most strangers to one another except for a friend or two haha. i personally only knew two of the lot who went. one of which was the organiser. heh

i felt pretty sick towards the later part of the bum boat ride actually.
the sea wasn't exactly what you would describe as 'calm' so ... yea. felt sea sick.

it never quite did dawn onto me to understand just how damn far 60km is or how tough the ride would be. we hardly had breaks (once every say.....10 or more km?)

i remembered taking at least two breaks before completing 20km... and reaching some kampong for lunch. wah lau really very ulu la the area. all the while we ride and ride until half dead only see what seemed to be deserted houses but were in fact very much inhabited. there's actually people living inside and i'm wonderin how on earth they travel out to get their things. chicken and roosters seen in almost every home.

actually... i had too little fluid when we started so i was really starting to dehydrate. in fact. i've stupidly gotten a heat stroke (and didn't realise only till late at night when my head was threatening to burst apart).

we kept to the left of the road cos of the traffic and well... the roads ain't exactly "safe" if u know what i mean. reckless drivers everywhere. it's like a rat race. i'm just trying my best to keep up and not end up last in line.

my brain pretty much wanted to shut dwn and my stomach was screeching for food and finally.. a more 'urban' area.


i spent only RM10! muahaha (Click pic to enlarge)

there's alot of rambutan there somehow. is it in season right now? but their rambutan is yellow!

anyway, bought quite a few bottles of 100plus and mineral water and... bubblegums!!! hee

and we hit the roads again... *cries*


expressway of somesort. huge trucks all over.

i was half dead when we reached the expressway. i'm not joking.
there was alot of super nice sceneries as we rode along but well, the group didn't stop so i can't either. was so bloody tempted to just freakin stop and take photos. there's so many slopes!!!! like crazy!!! it got so tough there were a few points where i had to simply get off my bike and just walk up the slope. my legs were aching like mad.

i saw prancing cows (yes prancing!) and COWS! wah lau! first time really see a cow can! then monkeys too! stupid monkey was screeching at us trying act fierce. then we had to ride slowly at one point cos monkeys crossing the road. hurhur.

after what seemed like a never-ending trip.....

DESARU GOLDEN RESORT!!! *see bright light*


super shag (Click to enlarge)

everyone just threw their bags aside and stoned for a really long time.
i just sat on the floor straight.

my thighs now super fit can!

after we've gotten our room keys, gu and i just chiong straight to the room to bathe.
stink big time man.

we just continued stoning in the room watching tv but cos i was by then suffering big time from my heatstroke and muscle aches (is the super crazy damn pain kind) that wilson had to put countless coats of counterpain on my thighs while i whine like crazy and sounded damn pathetic. i almost cried from all the pain i felt man.

but.. i can still crawl out for dinner. must...not..miss..dinner..

but after dinner i went back to the room and sleep. hur.

Day 2

day 2 i felt better. breakfast was buffet style.

BUT.....they decided to head out for lunch and guess what!! we have to ride again!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO....!!!!!!

*sob*

my thigh just ached ALL OVER AGAIN DAMNIT!

i cant remember whether we went to the beach before or after lunch. most prob after? i'm just guessing. can't remember. anyway, they had a game of beach volleyball before deciding to head to the sea to play. i wanted to stay dry so i did something girly. pick seashells.

muahahahaha

our trip back is a much more comfortable one. we took a bus from the hotel to the ferry and when we reached the ferry, we had to load our bicycles up the cruise. when we reached changi ferry terminal, i realised that's not the end of our trip. haiz. we have to ride till we reach changi village to return our bicycles. another 3KM. *cries* but at least we rode mostly via the park and frankly, our roads are damn gd lah. very smooth lor!

dinner was steamboat with mom n dad.

group photos!
