Genting with SBF 11-12 Aug 07

My Exams are finally over, and now i got more time to write up this Genting Trip... here goes

During the last Malacca trip with Sbf busa, they were planning for a Genting trip, and here we are. A short trip to Genting from 11 aug 3am to 12 aug approx. 10pm.

The 9 riders and their 5 baggage:
Jason & Jean - Busa
Raymond & Kris - Busa
Maverik & Joey - Busa
Glen & Tiff - FJR
Mark & Vanessa - Gsx600
Weiz - Busa
Denson - Busa
Eric - Busa
Rebecca - Busa

The busa riders gathered at Tiong Bee road for their weekly meet up, had some light suppers and ready to move off to GP Esso at 2am. At GP Esso, everyone got their bike ready for the long ride while others chats and wait for the late comers.

Finally set off at 3am to Pagoh for a break. We kept our sitting position for the whole 150+ km till we had to wriggle our wrist and leg to cure off the numbness. Everyone got themselves a quick pee, drink, washed up, filled up their falcons (some falcons) and prepare for another 100+ km towards Seremban.

Riding in the night is a very nice feeling especially when there aren't much vehicle in the same road. The NSHW from Kulai to Malacca is rather quiet and not much of coners where class 2 riders love as they could push their machine marking from 160-260km/hrs with comfort as they enjoy the cool enviroment and the quiet night. However one must know the risk of riding fast at NSHW.

We crossed the Seremban tol approx. 6am head to Petronas to feed our falcons again, and took our first Malaysia breakfast at MacDonald's. The thing about this Pertonas and Mac is very convenient as Mac and petrol station is just side by side. My fav. Petrol Station in Mysia is Petronas too ;)


Our Route from GP Esso to Seremban Mac.

After our Breakfast, the sky started to break for dawn. We woke the Falcon for their final flight of the day to Genting. Rode off Seremban and hit the streets, here tall building appearing left and right while slowly, vehicles from 2-wheelers to 16- wheelers shared the lanes.

Exited at the Sign Genting Highlands, the lanes started to open wider while the corners started to bend more. Yep, we are at the base of Genting. This is the place riders love most as they could counter each and every corners to their heart content from the bottom to the very top of Genting. Feewwwweeeehhh...... What a challenging winding route.

Our group of 9 riders booked 2 separate hotels, we parted at the other group's( i call it weiz's group) apartment coz they could get their rooms pretty early, unlike ours' (Ray's group), had to wait till 2-3 pm.


At the base of Wiez's hotel, see me securing my falcon while Jean keep taking photo of herself, I cant blame her, she's very excited!! haha, this' one trip she's been waiting for.


From Gp Esso to Genting, 390++ Km...

Everyone got tired since we didn't had any rest since 2am. All decided to rest in Weiz's apartment. (Thanks Weiz's Group for lending us a resting place haha). Jean and I prepared ourselves abit and took an early nap too, managed to doze off for 20 mins and had trouble sleeping as as an Orchestra appeared out of no were.... The falcon's very own Orchestra!!!


Orchestra's performers ~From top right to bottom left clockwise: (Myself and Jean, Raymond and Kris, Glen and Tiff, Mark and Vanessa, opps! Mav and Joey were hiding somewhere).

We left the performances half way as we couldn't keep up with the tempo, Went down to the cafe to had some bites, Mav & Joey appeared too as they couldn't keep up with the tempo too, they said the tempo got pretty complicated lol. Here Mav, Joey, Jean and myself had a nice time eating and chatting with one another. Its great as we will be sharing rooms too later at night, looks like none of us are good performer, I Hope!??

After our long chat, we went up again to see if the Orchestra had ended, We'll the tempo is slowly going off already, nice. Soon everyone woke up and got ready to take out long walk up the the First World hotel to book into our rooms. Ray was nice to wait for our number, so we head to Starbucks to refresh ourselves with drinks.


See Jean, getting excited again and doing stupid things.... Spot them yourself.

Numbers called and checked into our rooms, Mav and me hold a card each to our shared room so its much easier to gain entry. We headed down together for some bites again and shopping.... Wrong move every trip, once the girls go shopping, they cannot stop ! :X Well, let them be lah, since its 50% all over in genting every weekends!


Jean and Joey digging desperately for discounted clothing's~~

Mav & Joey and us split for our own shopping but somehow meet again as we rest to have some small bites. Yep, one of jean's favorite, Doughnuts !!


Jean got crazy over the doughnut, but it really taste good!!

After browsing a few stores, we walked into our Favorite Bum City! The shops not only sell Bum clothings but many others too, accessories, bags, hats/caps and many more~~ In the end we spent RM$270+ in Bum city haha. Well' we didn't only bought ours but since Stan lent us his saddle bags, we could buy more stuff including theirs too :)


Mine and Jeans's Stuff~~ Yes YEs Bum bum Bum bUm buM!!


Stan, angela, Carine and Alan's Stuff~~~

After choosing and buying so much~ We went back to our rooms to put the stuff there, and took another napfor more energy later. It was close to 9pm, time to meet the guys for dinner, everyone decide on the Hainan Kitchen where Jean and I ordered Western food ...?!?!?!? Hainan rest. selling western ?? lol


Our Dinner~~ Yummy!!

Before this Genting trip, Jean and I had been planning to catch a show at Genting, we browse the net and saw that Rush Hour 3 will be showing.

After dinner, Jean and I went to the ticketing booth to buy the tics for 11pm, somehow the ticketing booth is closed and the operator inside packing her stuff said no more tics. Jean and I argued for a while that is not even 1040pm yet but they just refuse to open to sell us the tics. So pissed off with the Standard in Genting.


@#%#$@%@^%^ Rush Hour 3 Ticking booth Operator #$#$^%^%^%^%

We really had nothing left to do since the show is out for us. We've been to Genting twice before and this is the third time we are here, we decided to explore the places that we've been to before and see if we could find something to entertain ourselves. The others ? Trying their luck with $$$ elsewhere haha.

We walked up and down left and rigth, to and fro and got excited over the places and stuff we used to go and did together. Jean got excited again and wanted to sit on the Peony that she seen be4 the last time, while i got my own ride on a 1st prize too haha.


The Peony and my first prize

Next, we came to some rows of "cheat small kid machines", I told jean this machines only interest small kid and cheat their money, suddenly Jean disappeared and reappear beside the "Cheat small kid (Mickey Mouse) machine"!!!??? "cheat small kid? OMG, while taking a Pic for her, I too got distracted by something haha.


Jean's Mickey and my Distraction!

The other fun stuff was some kids' Ride, looking at the Squid Ride, she ran over and climb on top showing me a squid face, there i quickly took a snap of her "Squid face" before she change her mind haha. Then she being unsatisfy, forced me to do something stupid too.... Poor me...


Stupid moves....

Funs' over and we took a stroll else where, then we came across a stall that caught out attention, its the long long hot dog stall "1901" We ordered a Hot Doggy's out of excitement and stuff our tummy with more food once again.


New York Hot Dog~~ Yummy!!

We walked on somemore and saw some big big noodles, too full to stuff anymore food in, we snaps pics on how desperate we are on trying the noodles.....


So Yummy, so hard to reach~~

Finally, Jean is satisfy and we retire for the night, there we tot 4 of us were not performers, but that prove Jean wrong, that night again she couldn't catch much sleep, coz Mav and I were holding out mini orchestra hahaa....... Too bad... girls can't snore well..

Very next morning, our rooms were entitle 2 breakfast, none of use could drag ourselves for the free breakfast, sleep is more important for us guys "concentration on riding", but girls ? "their last shopping" 4 of us had our breakfast at the Mee shop, never did we know that those balack shop chop us without us knowing... We paid almost RM$100 for 4 simple dish.... God!

Branch wasn't enjoyable, slowly we head back to weiz's apartment, on the way, i spotted a fellow falcon, well he didnt talked to me coz he is being displayed on some glass shelf, so i took a photo of him and left to regroup with the 9s.


Our Fellow Falcon, Transform!!


On the way down to Weiz's. Nice cooling wind~

At Weiz's, I quickly got myself ready so i could have more time properly securing the bags to my bike, but didnt think others took a longer time. Well, I like to be prepared early so i wont delay anyone's time.


At Weiz's our 9 bikes all parked in 1 stright line. All getting ready to move off.

From Genting , Denson took us to a nearby Mushroom farm just behind the apartment. Wow didnt know there is a Mushroom farm nearby, the food looks good and the mushroom breading place looks interesting too, here we see many different breed of srooms. Jean and I had another great and interesting time.



The Srooms farm, food and breading place.

Once the adventure of the sroom farm is over, we drag ourselves to our bike so they could take us home, it was another challenge down Genting. Stopped at a nearby petrol station for some fuel before heading towards Ayer Kerok for some bites of A & W, then to Pagoh for the break and fuel before heading towards GP.

At GP everyone had a longer rest coz its our last gathering ground before we split for the end of Genting trip. We chatted for a while, had some drinks, pee, poo, rested till our tired body could drag us one last time back to our home sweet home.


From Seremban to Pagoh to GP Shell, here we ended our farewells with ride safe and good nights and to meet up again for the next busa gathering.

Thanks guys for the wonderful Genting ride and entertainment.
