Road trip!

A few of us decided that we should drive up to malaysia for jus one day for sea food. Well i planned it to move off at 3pm. KY and guys had wakeboardin till 3.. so i set the time at 4pm.. and so i picked ky up at sembawang and the rest went off to get their stuff from home. Ky house was supposed to become the meetin point.

So we waited and waited at KY's house till fuckin 1730.. lol.. so damn late already.. so we made our way to 2nd link and went thru.

We were to to to Kecup.. the southern most tip of malaysia. On the map, its only about 20 km away from the cause way. but in truth, the 2nd link and the place we were going was separated by a river, that runs about 40 km... so yes.. 40 km up to the top and back down to so damn near singapore.

We went into the highway.. it looked like we joined a highway.. so all the cars on the outer 2 lanes were so slow, we decided to go onto the inner lanes.. (4 lanes all together) than suddenly as we were goin round a bend, 2 protons suddenly appeared headin towards us.. man. Ryan said i brought us into near death, huson said my reflexes saved the car. I was fast enough to go back to our lane..

As we went further down, some of us had doubts cos the road seemed too far away and the roads were not litted. We decided to go to Pontian and then decide wat to do next. We were in this road that ran for wat felt like 30km unlitted and had many pot holes.. But well after we turned out of that road it was betta.

Well so at pontian we had a discussion by the road. Amos said we should go. KS said we sbould go back. But the rest wanted to go. So we went on the nxt 30km. Than as i was drivin, i suddenly realised we have another problem. How do we find the restaurant if everyone's asleep. It was alreaddy 2030. But hack it.

The road brought us to a dead end. Great.. But look around us. ALL the restaurants were around us at the end. A police station greeted us at the end of the road by the way. haha can u believe how relieved i was? i couldn't possibly bring this bunch of guys to a dead end after drivin so far right.

We had dinner, and it cost us 200 ringgit for 7 people. about 15 singapore per person.

And so the rest of the journey involved followin the 2nd link signs all over the place. We stopped at the petrol kiosk and topped up full tank. A bunch of kids did it for us. I paid them the exact ammount and they were like loookin at me, hintin for tips i guess.. so i gave them 10 ringgit. they all stared at me. Was it too much? or too little. Ryan said it was alot. ok fine..

We ran into one of those burger stands and we stiopped by to buy some famous malaysia burgers..

And well.. it was uneventful for the rest of the jouirney. Jus that it was so damn scary along the unlitted road. Turn off the head lights and i swear u can't see what is infront of u.

And over at singapore side,we did a mid-drivin transfer of ryan's passport. at 100km/h.. well... i'm jus lazy to say everything.. so i shall jus say these.. kk gd night
