My first Dirtbike ride!
Gosh! This blog has been left with no update for sooo long. What is happening to me? Getting lazy to blog while i still continue to travel alot. heheeee.... Okie...so, I hope I get to write and update more often. On my return...let me write on what I have been doing. After I experienced knee pain, I was adviced by my doctor to stop hiking and cycling. Thats the worst news i wanna hear from my doctor. But being a someone who hates to go shopping as a form of hobby, I turn to something else. For a start, I'm looking into dirtbiking! So, here I am riding dirtbike for my very first time!  Where : Pengerang, Johor Malaysia Place : Tristan Park When : 2 March 2012 We were advised to take the first ferry from Changi Point Ferry Terminal at 0700hrs. The bumboat ride cost S$11/person per ride. Boat will leave only when there are 12 passengers boarding. The last boat from Pengerang will be at 1600hrs (but departure is at discretion of the boat operator and boat availibility). We waited from 0700hrs but only departed at 0820hrs due to low pax count. Bumboat fare to be paid onboard and no tickets will be issued. Boat ride is 1hr 30mins. We had a smooth sail.  Tg Pengelih jetty Reaching Tg Pengelih jetty, it is very empty and quiet. The Malaysia immigration only prepares to open for operation when they sees us. Tristan Park representation came to pick us up less than 10mins after I made the call to inform that we have reached. First...breakfast! Pengerang is a small, very quiet town. I love this kinda peaceful life.  For our breakfast, even tho its simple, but its very very nice. The lady who cooked these has good culinary skills! Thanks for the wonderful, tasty dishes makcik!   We have reached!  I came in a group of five. Four us chose dirtbike and one chose WR. Of this, three of us took Package A for non-rider and cost us S$70 and the remaining two took Package B for rider and cost them S$90.  Dirtbike  The bigger bike that Tristan Park has  Tristan Park has ATVs too but at the time of my booking, the ATVs are under maintenance.  Included in the package are the gears for riding. Full face helmet, knee guard, elbow guard, gloves and safety briefing. It was an awesome experience! It started to rain during our ride..uphill, downhill. Awesomeness!!  We ends our ride at 1430hrs and had to rush back to the jetty as we were afraid that we miss the boat as we didnt charter any return boat. After the ride, i now know why its called DIRTbike. Look at us....  We are so muddy and dirty. And we get to eat dirt during the ride. Ewwww... but awesome!  Boat waiting for us...Sad to leave but I will sure return for more riding!  Bye Pengerang. Bye Tristan Park. Thank you to both our instructors. U guys have both been too patience with us and you both are gerek!!! And to my friends...let's do this again!  What I learnt; you don't need to have a riding license to enjoy dirtbike riding. What you need is a group of friends who loves outdoor experience and wanna try challenging activities. Thank you ladies for your support and participation. Love ya! Labels: malaysia, malaysia riding

Once again...1N in KL
Where : Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Place : KLCC When : 19 Oct 2011 - 20 Oct 2011 I seems to be going to Kuala Lumpur whenever i have spare time. When I'm bored and nothing to do here, I go KL. When I have spare TO, I go KL. When i wanna spend more time with a friend, I go KL. When my sibling has nothing to do, I asked them to join me go KL. KL...KL...KL! Here's I am again cos this time I have too many TO to clear. Last visit to KL was in July this year. Stayed 1N. This time, once again...1N in KL! I began to love Impiana KLCC, Capitol, Boulevard. Who's with me in the trip and how long I'm staying in KL determines which hotel i'm gonna stay. This time...Impiana KLCC. Again. Took 11.40am flight SIN-KUL via T1 Changi Airport to KUL LCCT. Enjoyed kaya toast before take-off at T1 transit. Luckily, the flight is empty. I got 17D and my friend a 17C. Its near the aisle. Cool. And it was even more better when the seats beside me were unoccupied and i get to sit at 17A and my friend at 17B. Bestnyer!!! Reached LCCT 1hr later. Board Aerobus company to ferry us to KL Sentral terminal at RM8/adult. Bus journey; 1hr. I'm not hungry actually, but since this is yet another makan trip again, and that I love Subway...Subway will be my lunch! Took Rapid KL, Kelana Jaya LRT line to KLCC. 10-15mins LRT ride. Great! All within 5mins walking distance. By the time we reached KLCC, its 5mins passed 3pm. Decided to check-in and leave our bags and start shopping! Check-in was a breeze. Free WIFI at hotel lobby only. By the time we walked out of our hotel it was 10mins before 4pm and its a heavy downpour. The doorman advised us to get an umbrella at RM20 refundable deposit. Good service! And so we walked...window shopping...shop...and what else? EAT! Had Madam Kwan's for dinner. Bought few cans and bottled drinks and sushi for supper and breakfast tomorrow. Since there's a fridge in the room, we decided to buy a slice of cake and two cupcakes from BISOU cake located on the same floor as TGV Cinema at KLCC. I love cupcakes and looking at those decos...whoa! Stayed up late till 2am. Talk...laugh...but no no to making love. hahaa...!! Purposedly didn't opt for breakfast at the hotel cos finding food in KL is so convenience. Check-out at 11.30am and Alhamdulillah...it was a bright sunny Thursday! I hate rain when I'm on hols. And so...we had our lunch at food court of Ampang Mall. I love my Thai cuisine. But the crispy popiah is simply awesome. Sold at RM3.20 per pc but it cost RM6 if you buy two pieces. After makan...shop...shop and shop again before we have to leave KLCC to head to KL Sentral. Took 3.45pm aerobus Skybus at RM8/adult. Supposed to reach LCCT 1hr later but due to rain and an accident along the way, we were delayed for 20mins. By the time we arrived LCCT, printed our boarding pass and had our last meal in KL before flying off. During our flight home, even tho it was a full flight...we got a seat at 11A and 11B. Its a window seat!! Return flight was better than the earlier flight. Took off at 7.30pm, half hour later to the scheduled take-off. Reached T1 Changi at 8.30pm. It was an enjoyable super short trip with my best friend filled with laugher and many funny moments that I will never ever gonna forget. Till we plan our next trip again next year, stay healthy so that we can eat loads again anywhere, everywhere we go. I LoVe KL. I LoVE tAKiNg fLiGHt. I LoVe ZerO DoLLAr FLIghT Tic. Weeeee....!!!!

Laguna Redang Island Resort - Part Two
Where : Terengganu, Malaysia Place : Laguna Redang Island Resort When : 16Apr – 20Apr 2010 Throughout our stay in Laguna Redang...
By then it’s already 12noon and the check-in time is at 1pm. Check out time is at 11am. We proceed to the registration lobby to get our room number and meals voucher. In the package, all three meals are included with a one day BBQ dinner being served.
After lunch, we proceed to check-in into the room. I opted for the Deluxe Garden View due to budget constrain.
Upon check in we couldn’t wait to jump into the sea. Here in Laguna, the mask and life jacket is at a rental fee of RM15 each for the duration throughout your stay on the island.
Swimming, snorkelling is so much fun when a waterproof cam tag along! Cam whoring tyme!!!!
This time our boat ride took 1hr 30mins. Reached Shahbandar Ferry Terminal at 10.40am. No one from Five Stars Tours' rep pick us up. Luckily, I was familiar with the area and had to look out for the bus on our own. From my previous experience taking other bus company, the driver would stop us for lunch..sad and disappointed…Five Stars Tours did not stop for lunch break at all! Reached Yong Peng and soon we continue our bus ride towards Second Link, and arrived in Tuas Checkpoint at 9pm. Clearance was a breeze bcos it’s a weekday anyway. Reached Golden Mile Complex at 9.45mins. How I wish the hols will never end. Anyway, its okay…is looking forward to an island resort holiday anytime soon…..anyone? =P Here's sharing with u the mesmerising sunrise @ Redang...
Ohhh...remember I mentioned that the water was choppy during our ferry ride towards Laguna? Well...its too strong that i got hit hard too. Here's it =P

Laguna Redang Island Resort - Part One
Where : Terengganu, Malaysia Place : Laguna Redang Island Resort When : 16Apr – 20Apr 2010 Start of trip...
Normal package available is 4N3D, but we extend another day stay at an additional of S$135 per person with all the three meals provided – B,L,D. Departure time : 10pm, but need to check in half hour before at Golden Mile Complex at Five Stars Tours. It seems funny bcos we book at Regent Star Travel but we are to report at Five Stars Tours where the tour package of these two varies significantly. Norm, we went tru immigration clearance via Second Link. It’s quite busy at the Departure Hall but being Singaporean, I could clear at the automated gate and clearance is a breeze. On the Msia side, clearance was a breeze too bcos two complex is in operation. Alhamdulillah… Stop over is at a standard port : Yong Peng. It’s already 15mins past midnite. Nothing much could be bought for supper. Moreover it’s just a 30mins stop-over for light meal and toilet break. And then we are set for a 7hrs bus ride to Shahbandar Ferry Terminal in Terengganu, Malaysia.
Even tho it was stated that the ferry ride is a 1hr 30mins ride, but this time it took 2hrs bcos of the choppy water. Many were seen throwing up due to sea sick. Alhamdulillah (Thank God), me and my partner are ok. Labels: beach, malaysia, malaysia beach, sun
