21 February 2008, Thursday

Today after school i prepared myself for an uncalculated-distance route to train myself. It was to be towards the CBD area, then telok blangah, Bt Batok Road, Woodlands, yishun, and down to Tpy. It is basically one round around the western/central Singapore. I estimated it to be around 70KM long. I started off at around 315pm. Cycle towards the CBD area, and was off on Telok Blangah Road. But somewhere after the junction of the entrance to Labrador Park, my back tyre hit a drain gap and i knew i was in trouble. Straight away i stopped and i felt my tyre. An absolute immediate flat. I felt devastated. Telok Blangah is certainly not a place for a bike shop. I had no choice but to put it along Telok Blangah, hoping to get a miracle, but to no avail. So i just detoured and walked with the bike along South Buona Vista road to walk to Buona Vista. The walk from the place that i had the punture to Buona Vista took like an hour and a half. I only reached Buona Vista at about 530pm. My dismay upon my arrival in Buona Vista was that there was no bike shop around. I had no choice but to take out the back tyre, lock the bike, and take bus 48 to Bt. Timah road, where theres a few bike shops. The tyre got fixed, and i took 48 back to Buona Vista and reached at 630pm. I realised the tyre was not repaired properly, but i knew how to fix it, but only with it deflated. So i went to a petrol kiosk and deflated it, fixed it, and attempted to pump it up. But the needle of the pump was too hard. Nothing happened. From that moment i just knew i was stuck. It was already 7pm, and i am still at Buona Vista without a single source of help. I then had no choice but to go to the cold storage at holland Village which was not far away to get a pump. There wasnt any. Now i really felt lost and helpless. So i decided to lock the bike, and go Clementi Fairprice. It didnt have either. So my last but confident source: Giant at IMM. The moment i found it there, my hopes increased, my mood cheered, and i knew i was able to get the bike back to Tpy by tonight. I bought it, went back to buona vista, pumped the tyre, and cycled back to Tpy at 845pm. I reached Tpy at 915pm.

Today school was normal. After school took a bus to Newton. Halfway through Eugene asked me out. So i waited for him at Newton and we went to Adelphi at City Hall cause Eugene wanted to check out headsets. At newton i was called out to watch a movie with felicia and ovidia and to meet at around 330pm at Cine. I just agreed. Anyways, after that we went Funan where i finally bought my powerbar gels, and then ate subway. It was already 357pm and the movie starts at like 410pm. So i rushed to City Hall to take a train down to Somerset. The next train was 7min. :/ i felt so dead. The moment i reached Somerset, i sprinted to Cine. When i reached Cine, ALL 4 of the lifts were like at the middle levels going up. And when it came down, it practically stopped at every level. So you should know how frustrated i was. But anyway, made it into the theatre just before the movie started. Entered when the Dolby trailer was played actually. ;D The movie was CJ7. i call it Chicken Jumper. ;D hehs. ohwells. And nobody said that she was coming. >:( Anyway after that went her house to collect felicia's and ovidia's bags. Then after that it started raining when we left her house. Since we were all in a rush, we just walked out in the rain to the bus stop. Sent someone home, then took cab to Tpy to rush to meet my uncle to go prawn fishing? I only caught like 5. We finished at 1240am but we sat and chatted until like 120am before leaving. Reached home at about 135am. Tiredd. Ohwells.

OH, and the her is not my gf. It's just someone. (:

This is the real diary i recorded for the past few days in my trip to Malaysia. It's a mixture of point form and paragraphs.

5 Feb
today we took a cab over to kranji.
The bus was super crowded. Was there around 7. The checkpoints were massively long at s'pore but not as long at malaysia. The bus queues esp the ones in s'pore are super long.

We only boarded the bus at malaysia checkpoint at around 850am.
We reached at abt 910 and we are eating at a malay roti prata shop.
later at 1030 will take the bus to kuantan.
The roti prata is very nice, soft, and smooth.
It beats jalan kayu's roti prata.
The only sad thing is the curry sucks.
But after the rest finished, they brought in fish curry. It is the bombx! Luckily i havent started eating because i was recording down this entry.

The combination of the good roti prata plus the fish curry is just heaven.
No where in s'pore can this roti prata be bought even with all the riches of the world. ;D

2240- bus starts exiting larkin.
2243- bus exits larkin.
2245- On its way, start on journey.
As i journey through, its so irritating tht the petrol station petronas is found almost everywhere. -.-

6 Feb

i couldn't sleep during the bus ride.all i could do was to look out of thee window. I was probably the only guy in the entire bus that was wide awake throughout the journey.

230am- we had our first and probably the only toilet break for the journey.
Toilet break was at a coffeeshop, drank hot drinks.
307am- we left the coffeshop and continued the journey to kuantan, 130km away.

404am- the bus entered kuantan town.

430am- alighted the bus, waited at coffeeshop near the bus stop.
Ate roti prata and mee goreng, then at 0600 someone came and fetched us to the bike shop to get keys, then to the house tht we would be staying at for the next few days.

1045- woke up half-dead.

1110- took different cars and left the lodging place to main city kuantan.

1138- reached bak kut teh stall.

1235- leave stall for temple. Reach at 1255. Just slacked at the pond.

1305- leave temple to go back and shop at nearby supermarket.The supermarket is old and run down, doesnt even have aircon.

Slept in the day, woke up at 1745.

Left house at 1830 for restaurant.

1858- reach restaurant.

during dinner, the yusheng came first. Then after they loh the thing and start eating, the person came with the crackers. Lols. Then we just loh the crackers alone with a lil' of leftovers. Then came the lobster. After that, it was all the weird weird dishes tht doesnt even appeal to me.

2132- leave restaurant for Giant hypermart.

the giant is totally different from s'pore. The giant here is really giant. And the queue is super long. The cashier does everything slowly. It's like theres no rush to clear the long queue.Chatted with aunt and uncle before:0030- called it a day, slept.

7 Feb

Today woke up at about 745 and ang pows from relatives came in.

At about 813- left the house to walk to over aunt's friend's house as well as breakfast which is a few minutes walk away. After breakfast went to the house which has a bike shop, and managed to drive a scooter for a few rounds.

At 12plus, water supply in the town got disrupted.

At 1plus, water supply came back.

Then at 2 slept till 1730. Washed up and went for dinner at the bike shop.

2011- left the house to go to the beach.

2040- reached the beach(east coast; South China Sea). It is nice and windy, but cant see much cause it's dark. There are artists drawing people and it is really nice.

After leaving the beach we went to this place to eat supper. But the food took over half an hr to come. Luckily i bought kfc from the beach before going over, so i managed to eat. Even the drinks were not served up to half an hr. The drinks came after half an hour, but the food is still not here up to abt 1hr of waiting. And there isnt even a lot of ppl to serve. In fact the shop is quite empty. No idea why things are done so slow here.

anyway after eating went back, on the way took away roti prata from place we first ate when arriving kuantan, then went back to eat and wash up. Slept at 0030.

8 Feb

0700plus- woke up. Washed up, and got ready to go Kuantan city.

Walked about and searched for mahjong but they couldn't find.

The stuff there in "Cold Storage" is damn ex man. Look at the prices:

^ Simple Conversion: SGD$10 ^

Zero Sugar, A Lot Ringgit.

After tht went back to the bike shop and after tht went over to a house and slack there. Super boring.

After tht we came back. And its about 1600 when we got back.

1840- took a car over to the bike shop for dinner.

After dinner at about 1930 plus we went back to the house, and played blackjack.

I stopped playing at 2300 but they continued. Slept at 12.

9 Feb

today is the first time that we are waking up later than usual. We woke up at about 830 like that. Washed up, and left for breakfast at 920. Walked over to eat breakfast near bike shop. At 10 plus we walk back to the house, reached around 1030. Watched them play some card games, then i went to sleep till 1500.

Woke up, continued watching them as well as tv. The spongbob in malay is so wrong. So funny. Lols.

At 1910 we walked over to bike shop for dinner, then we left at 2005 to go back and pack up.

Then at about 2130 we played blackjack up to 12, then washed up and sleep.

10 Feb

Woke up at 0615, washed up and packed again, and left at 0730 for breakfast near the bike shop again.

0850- started walking back to house to collect barang barang and dump into a car.
0920- left house and 4 of us walk over to bus stop where we came from the first day to take cab over to interchange. Other 5 took car over.
1030- the bus is supposed to be here by now, but it still hasnt come.

1052- the bus arrived.

1108- bus leaves kuantan interchange, on its way to larkin.

1258- saw some deers by side of road. Kinda cool.

1307- toilet break; driver cooled the aircon unit. The bus has aircon prob.

1329- end of toilet break; continue journey.

1445- stop at cepat ekspres depot, driver cools aircon again.

1456- leave depot, continue journey.

1520- 155km away from jb.

1540+- jam at yong peng. Cleared at 1615, 100km more to go.

1620- see more s'pore cars on the road. Feel more nearer to civilisation, unlike kuantan.

1627- highway: saw an accident scene. One malaysian car and one s'pore car collide.

1815- bus reach larkin.

1830- take m'sia cab to s'pore.

1900- pass s'pore checkpoints.

Basically the bus we took to come back was screwed up. It was old, slow, and the air-con had problems. t was like being in an oven. The whole 7-hour journey instead of 6 was crazily difficult. I was even perspiring in the bus. Ohwells. Anyway, below are pictures of the journey back to S'pore, except for the first one. ;D

The End ;D

Here To quickly post a quick post. I have been writing a journal for everyday but i cant seem to copy it over here. But anyway im just happy that i'm able to get wireless to blog now. Now i'm at the kuantan city. Basically i'm residing near my aunt's firend's house and it lies on the outskirts of kuantan, 13km from kuantan city. Everyday the friend's family ppl drives us to kuantan city for our eating and stuff. Theres like nth much to buy here. Ohwells. But basically, i'll reupdate this post when im back when i transfer everything i diary-ed on my phone to the com. Anyway, the checkpoint was super crowded on 5feb. And the bus ride was 6 hrs to kuantan including a 30min break. 6feb had a dinner at a restaurant in the city area. And yesterday (7feb) had a bit fun driving a scooter. Nth much happens here. Everyday is just slacking. But yesterday night we went over to the beach (west coast) and it was super nice. Though you cant see much, but its the south china sea an the waves are really nice. And today, we're supposed to go genting but we decided not to because it'll be very rush-ed. So now we're gonna shop in the city area for a bit, which is how i FINALLY MANAGED to get wireless access for my phone, but unable to upload what i've diary-ed for the past few days from my phone's 'quickword'. Ohwells, will end here & update the whole visit when i'm back on Sunday. (:
