Please kindly include me for the lobster trip.

So excited to join you guys for a tour

[Scarab]

Nice...but if it rains heavily that morning...you'll see a few fellas back out...

[scoobydoo]

hahahaha... dun say they back out, we'll probably cancel the trip if raining heavily, safety comes first

 

so scarab... meeting us there like last time?

[SW9000]

I will try book a sunny slot in the morning. They normally allow only half a day reservation.

If the rain controller wants to pee in the afternoon... too bad.

 

Please bring rain coats and a change of clothing.

[LaZyChOo]

wa... sound interesting ..

How fast you guys ride on huh? The last time i went with this group, blust my S4 clear meter liao still cannot catch up....

[scoobydoo]

oh ya hor... just like the last one

remember to bring underwear hor, else gotta buy at jusco liow... whahaha

 

definitely no chance to clear meter... estimated SOA about 60~70+ along trunk roads due to traffic; some overtaking of buses n lorries may be required

[SW9000]

don't know how good the bitubos are but they sure are more expensive than Hagon shocks which costs less than half

lets see if i can find some pricing for these stuffs

[Elton]

[SW9000]

Mine Apr 08 traded in to bike shop at $9k+.

If from bike shop, that's about the correct price bah.

If private sale then a bit on the high side but must check condition and what other add-ons fitted.

Summary of trip

map http://i692.photobucket.com/albums/vv287/josephsbs/Pengerang%20Trip%20Nov%202009/PengerangTrip_Nov2009.jpg?t=1285293729

 

+ Jason Bay

+ Sungei Renggit lunch at Good Luck

+ Se Yuan Bakery (freshly baked SGT cookies)

+ Sungei Renggit Ostrich farm visit (hope its open on Sun)

+ Bukit Indah

 

start with a leisurely 2hrs ride up to Jason Bay at the east coast of M'sia, north of Desaru. enjoy a few moments of breeze, photo session and rest for our butts.

http://www.ulfp.com/ulfp/mod_page/view.asp?ID=15

tide level is forecasted to be going down, near midway towards low at 1pm so still can take some nice pics of beach. followed by a 1hr coastal ride down to Sungei Renggit aka 四湾岛 (Pengarang), passing desaru on the way down south. the trunk road down is rather nice but don't get carried away by the sea view, do look out for a few wok sized craters (some have been patched up during our last visit but do expect new ones)

 

12+pm = LUNCH!!! lets have different styles of lobsters at Good Luck... deep fried is a must, stir fry with cheeze or braised with sauce. estimated damage? 10 of us paid about Rm80 (approx. S$35) each during the last trip. we shall decide what to do next while waiting for the lobsters to "crawl" up our table.

 

after lunch, we'll walk/bike over to the famous Se Yuan Bakery for some SGT cookie shopping, then to the Ostrich farm 5mins ride away (instead of visiting Tg Pengelih jetty like we did last round). finally, its back to Jusco at Bt Indah for some nice cool A&W root beer float or plus dinner before returning to sinkapor

 

return to sinkapor should be via 2nd link, but depends on concensus. my personal preference is to return via 2nd link especially after the smoky-scratchy experience, even though causeway would be very much nearer to my CCK home. in any case, riders are free to go OTOT after the makan

Past few days was thinking of upgrading to Fibre Broadband, either Starhub or M1.

Want use fibre must also change my home cable networks to Cat 6 cables and upgrade all my 03 old old PC.

 

Then hor... today come back home my PC died. Possibly the MB got fried cos the CPU fan like very noisy for few months already. Now using my daughter's PC.

 

Confirmed must spend $$ liao. Going Sim Lim these few days for DIY bah.

** Hmm... don't know wanna try wireless or not. No trust the security that much but convenient to connect.

[scoobydoo]

depends on whether u need the "speed" or not lor... if do online streaming or downloads regularly, then maybe got "cents" but remember that even if you have 1Gbps bandwidth front-end, download speed is still limited at the rear-end; i.e. if bandwidth at your regular source servers are slow (e.g. 1Mbps), then having 1Tbps at home in Singapore would be an overkill, a waste. we should pay for what we can get to enjoy.

 

ride a hayabusa but cannot hit redline at orchard road, leave at 1st gear all the way???

 

with so much bandwidth, later your kids also join u in the ozaw* club... whahahahaha

 

buy new PC... tot there're lots of BB promotions giving away free notebooks?

but if for gaming, that's another story

[Fusionjaz]

Yo Scooby,

 

My sis is back from mainland china, if you are interested to get the Hagon from HK, I can try asking her if she can help.
