cameron highland trip thru sg koyan, raub.... 20110225-20110226

as usual we met in kemira for breakfast about 9am. nasi kerabu kemira became pok aar favorite food for breakfast in kuantan. six of us this time-anjemang, iwang, pok arr, jai, me, dato h, and otomeng. however, otomeng went to straight to kl. he got meeting at 2pm that afternoon. dato h joint us in raub. he was in kl the day before.
we took off from kemira around 10am. stopped by at awies' to fillup our tank. awie advice us to take lanchang exit. according to him the distance is shorter than bentong exit. the road conditon was not too bad from temerloh to raub. only the traffic was a bit busy. arrived at frasers' hill junction at about 1130am. this is where we wait and met dato h(we waitek, waitek for hing almost hah hour you know. luckily he showed up. otherwise bye-bye dato').
took another an hour to reach sg koyan thru raub. again we fill up our tank in petronas sg koyan since we do not know how far and when we will meet another petrol station. first time for all of us using this route to cameron highland.
sg koyan to cameron is awesome route. we have had enough corners that day. only a few point of the route, the road is a bit bumpy. especially while taking the corner. oooo.... make my blood really goes upstairs, you know. no wonder supercosa riders said this route is better than kulim-grik route. but for me, both got their own uniqueness(betol ke eja ni). an hour later we reached ringlet. regroup at the shell petrol station before headed to our hotel which is century pine resort..
on th way to the hotel we stopped by at bharat tea, cameron valley for a drink and scones. anjemang favorites'. (skong skong dari kuatang agi duk sebuk nok makang skong). but as usual i am the one who eat more than others .. heheheh


we went for dinner about 5pm somewhere in tanah rata. but in cameron(been here a few times) i never found a good place to eat. except for the vegetables and fruits. we ate at the restaurant opposite starbuck coffee. not really good food.
what else to do.... hahhaah karaoke time... but before that we stopped by at pasar malam in berinchang. no luck that day. i t was closed due to preparation for sultan pahang. so we just stopped for burn corn(jagung bakar heheheh) on the way to equetorial.
as usual pok arr is the king of the night. he's the singer, the joker, he's the man you know..... we conquered the hall. dato h, is tired. not really anticipate witht he session. anjemang with his lovely son palying the darts...
got back to the hotel at almosty 3am. we all stayed in the same duplex aprtment. what a nite. pokarr sang on the bike all the way from the karaoke till the hotel.... (pok arr pok arr... berahi sungguh ke donia). jai smoke that nite hahahhah jai jai what happen to you man.... (sejuk angak gamoknye)
the next morning after breakfast, we left for kl. we have decided to take tapah route. shorter and fastest route to kl. we have invitation for breakfast at two wheel garage for metalbutters. took about one and half hour to kl. quite fast that day. we spent almost 2 hours at twg. chit chating with visitor sat twg. in fact iwan also need to check a few things on his bike at that garage.

  
headed back home about 2pm. still got time for lunch in kuantan at kg pandan soup. the best curry and soup in town. spent an hour there talking about the same ooo shit... bike, ride and trip hahahahah... especially the ostolia hahahha...
reached home about 6-7pm  safe and sound. FOR DATO B AND JANG..... YOU HAVE MISSED A LOT THIS TIME..... HAHAHHAH... anyway we have decided to have family and golf trip sometimes in may. may Allah bless us all... bless all kings' riders...

nyambuk natu azih bmw gs 1200.... 20110222

still kemira is the meeting point before leaving for kl. me, pok arr, dato b and anjemang.. (dato b surprisingly joint us). arrived in kl almost 12pm. people out for lunch until 1pm. nothing much can do at solaris other than lepaking at paparich. enjoying our favarite menu taufufa...we stopped by solaris since i got tender to submit at kencana petroleum.

anniversary ride thailand... ko samoi 20110203-20110206

destination: ko samoi
total kilometers: 2200

it was an anniversary ride actually. i mean last year we went to songkla.. 3 of us in the same month. me, anjemang and dato h. at that time i just got my zx14, dato h with his rabbit(rabbit already gone with the wind). but this year we have another follower ca'aa(i did not get his real name yet. and i know he only knows my name as tommy.. hahhahah). after almost a year we have been planning to come here. but never happened. i told dato h, whatever it is i am gonna hit the road during this cny. dstination unknown but foresure its up north. i dont care this time. mannn... what the hell is wrong with the plan... 'we going we staying we going we staying'- one of the dialog in armegeddon if i am not mistaken. i was on the road on the 3rd/2 to kb. gotta run some errant in kb before hitting the road. waiting for anjemang and caa'a in rantau panjang on the 4th. been waiting fopr more than 2 hours i guess since their bike got problem with the pressure.
participants:
anjemang..(sedih ke jiwe ni???? ke dok rok???)
dato h..
ca'aaa....

tommy... masang cettung kena cabut topi dekak imigreseng...
on your mark, gets at..... hahhhaa at the fuel station before entering the border.... delayed a bit with the imigration and rtd. the procedure is different between here and danok...

tommy is smilling. problem solved maaa.... as usual i ask them where to eat... anjemang knows thats my habbit. eating is my priority. we endup having dinner in golok. i am not sure the name of the restaurant .. pok derih.. something like that.... good food... marvelous... as usual... i never regret eating in thailand...

after the dinner, we hit the road agian. about 8pm we left golok. kinda spooky when you know the hiway you gonna go thru is at war. hahhahah.. i mean the places like narathiwat and pattani is unstable. snipers are shooting at people. one of the villager told us a few days ago, someone got shot by snipers. but luckily he is alive. anyway, 3 of us... we rode.. anjemang always in front. we passed more than 10 army road blocks i guess. everything was fine. we arrived safe and sound in hat yai. dato h was sleeping when i got in the room. da to h was already in hatyai since he came in thru danok. danok is only about 1 hour from hatyai. i took off my clothes and adios amigos... sailing... (dato h mumbling in the morning.. he said he just feels like sleeping beside a boat(bot nambang hok g kuala mamang oor). hahahha.. i was to  tired man... tired of riding is one thing.. tired of waiting for anjemang hahahahah....

we left hat yai about 11 am... guess what i had for breakfast.... roti telor with susu pekat maaaa..... hahahhah anyway, in terengganu we use to eat roti canai with sugar you know.

checking the pressure again... both anjemang and ca'aa bike were having problem with the pressure... hehhehe what to do.. BEE ENGGG maaa.... (look at that GTR... smiling you know.. no problem)

still working on it... the funny thing is the gauge we use produce different reading from the bike meter....

about 4pm after sun bathing for 4 hours we arrived in at the jetty... we were welcome by the receptionist. one of them is arifah. she is a muslim. easier for to ask about the muslim food on the island. cost 250 baht for each bike to get in to the island. we confirmed the hotel as well....

look at that lady. he is looking at dato h all the way since he got in... biasalah dato h is a jambu boy. among us we call him dato h aka jambu boy.

bolok aghok sekali booking hotel.....

i am just a book keeper... they ask to pay i will pay...( normally when we have trips, we pool the money. i got the job)

hehheheh i like... lame la dok gini....

this is the best part... hehheeh while walking outside the ferry office i notice a lady collapsed in the parking lot. immediate i went to get her. she is still concious at that time... as usual i ask her whether she can hear me and asked for name as well. thank god she still can answer me well. sabrina(that her name) got dehydrated actually. i carried her to the office with the help of the bus driver... dato h notice the situation... that how i got these two pictures hahahahha....

at the jetty while waiting for the ferry...
   
   
   
view from the ferry... basically malysia got better view i guess. but we need to improve on the marketing of our resources... giang saghoh.... 

we arrived in ko samoi almost dawn...

dinner first... as requested by me and suggested by arifah hahahahha.... small restaurant with good food. seafood... fresh and juicy....
          peeewwwiiiiiitttttttttttt..............
sunset in manhattan.. oppsssss in kosamoi...                     anjemang... teringak ke sape towwww????? picture of the year ning..... dont pray2

dinner time.... photo taken by bystander .. muslim girl named ma... surprisingly... still a lot of muslims in this island.. 'speaking melayu pun buleh abe wehhh.... ' normal sentence when you are southern thailand...


before...

after...
supper time... at red scrapper... supper??? looks like dinner to me hahahaha we spent only 140 hinggit.... thats cheap you know...
the beach is naked.. not the people....
the beach..... we have much more beautiful beach maaa.... if you believe me go to rantau abang or kuala abang. white sandy beach... but not enough promotion. most people dont know. in fact local people do not know that we have very beautiful beach.

jenni the receptionist.... mannn... bile la malaysia customer service can beat thailand or at least at par.... the way she handle complaints, greets, excellente....... not to say the language barrier...

where we stayed...

we stoped by the road side... tourist point.... can see half of the island beach...

gemok la aku.....

dato h and his long lost relative from china...... looks a like ayye.....
on the way home to the jetty... we have to pass a few villages... i can say its like township.... the pictures taken from my hp...

ca'aaa .... always swich the bike with anjemang... sport tourer maaaa...

handsome jambu boy from bukit istana in ko samoi.... hehhehe



ready to be deported.... at ko samoi jetty to donsak


tired but enjoyed the ride....


dalam barisangggg......... not bulatangggg




unique design... we stopped here for prayer both ways... i am impressed with the architectural...

this most is more than 300 years of age. first middle east design.... got history here. a lot of people died here... to be a muslim in southern thai may be is not as easy as a muslim in malai....


really a long ride so far.... but not long enough.... gtr didnt give any problem to me so far. powerful and comfortable. for those who are thinking of getting gtr.. you wont regret. the choice is yours. every bike got their own pros and cons i believe. right now my gtr is at chear for service.... plus spa. wont ride her for a few weeks.
