Jean and I couldn't sleep the night before the trip, however we still got up in time to get ready our stuff and took some pics before we left our car park to meet up with our buddies at GP Petronas.


Warming up bike...

Upon reaching as the first, Darren n Rachel came second followed by the others but the funny thing is the organiser came late asking everyone to come early, he was very smart because he know we cannot leave without his direction...... bish!


Meeting up at GP Petronas

Once we moved off, it was weird as our convoy stretch too far behind one another, after we realise someone was actually taking nice pic of the nice scenery along the way.....


A pic grabbed from Johnny, so u know how was lagging behind ?

The first route to Pagoh was kinda messy as everyone was trying to get used to each other's riding style and also figuring why some were too far behind or some were blasting ahead like there is no tomorrow.....

Johnny was either too far behind or too far in front, but that was because he was nice to blast to the front so he could take some pics of us reaching the first stop Pagoh for some BF.....


Another Pic from Johnny, he got a shot of us entering Pagoh R&R

We meet up with the 4 wheelers at Pagoh, had breakfast and took some pics together. Everyone were very cheerful this morning and looking ahead to KL !!


A lot of pics of everyone....


We keep taking pics but someone was miss.....
ohh Charlie was in the toilet .....
Jean was trying to live up the my nick (stupidboy's wife)
Avril wants her fingers in our pics( Johnny & I)

After filling our tummy, we pump our machine to max and left for Ayer Keroh for Bryant and Johnny to top up once more before riding none stop to SG Besi.


Ayer Keroh, Busas waiting for the smaller cc Class 2 bikes to top-up for a non-stop blasting.

Reaching SG Besi Petronas, everyone was taking a good rest as the trip here wasn't smooth due to the slower traffic along the way.


Everyone pumped and took a break before heading to Hotel Nova.

The next stop was Hotel Nova at KL, the traffic is going to be mush worst so everyone rode slowly together. Upon reaching, we were glad we could parked our bikes right in front of the hotel, we unpacked and left our stuff in the locker room coz we couldnt check in until 2pm.

We walked to a near-by coffee shop to have our an early lunch and took our time to walk to a near-by shopping centre to pass our time.


Having a meal at a near-by coffee shop.

After our breakfast, everyone took a walk to a near-by shopping centre to pass time. But eventually we bought alot of stuff.... I guess Jean really missed shopping in M'ysia, she was happily walking around even when we were so tired. When it was about time to leave, we even came to a herbal stall to have "Gui ling gao" Damn it was so much cheaper than in SG and much thicker!!


While walking to the shopping centre, we walked pass an apartment with lotsa balloons cartoon characters, it looked as if the restaurant below is trying to advertise itself.


We also walked passed a 24Hr 3 stored KFC, WOW!! anytime hungry also can eat!!!


Once reached the shopping centre, Jean immediately started her shopping spree....


We came pass a shop that looked like S'pore's "condom shop" and came across imported condom out a popular condom brand.


Andrew learnt about my condom and showed it to Amy, they got into a discussion and Andrew attempted to hide my condom away from me.... I caught him and snatch it back...


This was a what we had last year, and this time round, we got the same stuff again, it was nice to eat.....


See how much everyone was enjoying it.....

This weird guy keep pestering me with his shit paper bag, I have no idea who is he or what he wants from me, except he keep looking at me thru the hole of his shit paper bag....


Weird person looking at me thru the hole of his shit paper bag.....


Jean and I came across an accessories shop and bought a pair of Mickey Mouse Earrings.


Jean in another shop..... Looking at everything......


It was about time to leave and check into out Hotel,
We decided to take a rest at this herbal shop and had some "Guai ling gao"


While walking back to our hotel, a big stall selling "ba gua" and various dried stuff.


walking pass alot of food stall that only open for business at night.

Jean and I checked into the hotel room with Johnny, we were sharing rooms because Jean and I only decided to come along for this trip after our wedding. Johnny was nice to offer his room for sharing. Thank you Johnny. BTW, while writing this mail, I realise I havent transfer the hotel bills to u yet haha

Everyone took a bath, we need water so we all left to pick up some from the stalls below, Alan & Carine wanted to join us but took too long till it started raining, I msg Alan that we are going ahead first and we bought some necessities and food stuff as well as water. It was raining heavily already, even the umbrellas we bough didnt shelter us well from the rain.

Returned back to the hotel rooms and a few guys came over to join us with the snacks that we bought, Alan & Carine being very tired but jump up from their beds when hearing the word "tidbits"


sharing snacks together.... Alan very fast with picking up the stuff...

It was getting late and we were all getting ready to return to our Restaurant that we din in last year same time. Dressed up for the occasion and left together.


Dressed up!


We had a real hard time getting cab as it was super peak hour and traffic were very crazy in KL.
We resort to taking trains.


At dunno what train station


Taking a pic at the station


Taking pics in the train

After reaching out destination, we still couldn't get to our restaurant, with problems getting cab again, we resort to Andrew's GPS, he was real useful this time round.

Kl Trip/Sepang Moto GP (17-19 oct 08) Night 1

Night 1...... This first day need to be split into 2 parts coz its abit too long.

From after we took a train, cab and still cannot reach the place, we finally depend on Andrew's expertise : GPS map guide. It sure was useful when it told us that we had to walk 1km++

Upon reaching "Telawi Street Bistro", we seated comfortably into 2 groups. Ordered the food we tot was best for us and chat the night away....

While waiting for the food being served, this particular restaurant always serve a unique appetizer.

The new comers for KL trip who came to this place will be offered "????? vodka" This usually happen when everyone first stepped in, however since all were so hungry, we had this little event last.


Amy being the youngest, latest to join the group and first time here took her "?????"


No idea why Johnny was treated like a first timer, maybe he tio sabo ?


Jean and I had our "not so power" Vodka (peach and lychee)

Suddenly he came down and only then we realise his bike was stolen. Sarah and both of them went to the police while we locked our bikes up and walked to China town to have BF.

Rachel n Darren enjoying noodles


Alan and Charlie love the coffee here, we will try to buy some after the meal.


I had this curry bun


Its about the same as S'pore's "golden pillow"
The curry is nice!

Later, we give ourselves 2 hours to shop around China Town, its like a mini "Pasar Malam" Jean and I went from shop to shop looking thru the cheap items.


We did buy some stuff!!


The food snacks were good!! Tested n proven.


Herbal drink, a must !!


We resort to buy coffee powder from this stall outside the coffee shop because they were too busy to packet n weight for us.

2 hours later, we meet up and took a slow walk back to the hotel, everyone had a good rest and a few of us meet up to take a short walk to Time Square so we could do some more shoppings!! Upon reaching, Jean and I had some drinks from Starbucks before we start roaming freely ourselves.....


Frap Caramel


We came to the Theme park but decide against it coz we only had 2 hours to roam but the coz per pax is RM$45 for whole day... not so worth.


Entrance of Theme park

After Jean bought some stuff, we came back to Starbucks to have a short rest before meeting up with the rest to return back to hotel.

Again, everyone had a short rest and meet up below to have dinner. The streets along Hotel Nova is famous for the night makan, entire street is light up with food stall's sign board!


Here's the store we decided to have our dinner


Various food


He eat too much until his mouth is cramp


Everyone waiting for the dishes


He haven't get to eat yet.... so his mouth is like that

We really enjoy the meals as the style were cooked differently from Singapore. Although some were similar cooking methods, the price is extremely cheap including beers~~


At night, we look thur the stuff....... A pair of shoes for Jean


Pineapple tarts and some nice biscuits


Coffee powder, Alan claim its VERY good!!!!


BUM Pouch, Another item for Jean

That night, before we turn in, we gather at some guy's rooms to chat, we even walked to 7-11 to get some stuff......
