20130929 rompin with mama

just got back from penang yesterday. got a sms from one of the babysitter saying that she is free for that day. i told mama just got on the bike. lets ride somewhere. with a limited time, the best place to layan kona a bit here and there is kuantan rompin route.
here we are. normal order. 1 kilo. we always make sure the shrimp is more than the rice. otherwise not worth of riding to rompin. when we arrived in leban chondong, i can see around 30 bikes from johor. what i can say about johorean, they have very strong relationship especially in their community. regardless of what activities they are involve.

20130927-20130928 solo to penang

suppose 3 of us. last minute cancel due to work related. anyway, this is the only week i am free. settled everything that morning. took of at 9am. very hot day. i did 180-200kmh until temerloh. just wanna see how my new machine works. about 45 minutes arrived in temerloh. temperature went up a bit. i told ken in glenmarie. he said that normal. the engine is auto shutoff anyway if its overheated. from temerloh i went thru batang kali. slow and steady. this is what happen when your are riding alone. no rushing at all.

stopped by at my great grandma cemetery somewhere kuala kubu bharu. al fatihah to her. may her soul rest in peace. from seberang tayor kemaman end up in kkb. kinda weird right. but its alright.
 
normal pit stop in ipoh if i am with my family or alone. the late megats' house. its been 4 years. my childhood friend. when he was a kid his parent moved to kemaman. he lived about 1 block from my house. we went to school together with bicycle. at that time dato b is not in the picture yet. dato b, came into the picture when i were in standard 6. alfatihah to arwah.

arrived in penang like 4pm. straight to touratech. geared up a few item for the bike. finish at 6pm. checked in the hotel and never came out. took off after breakfast around 8am. very lucky the traffic is not crazy yet.

very hot sunny day. even in titiwangsa. take five for a can of kopi o nescaffe. slowly decending.. layan kona all the way until jeli. mann... what a bike. 33 liter fuel. stop for twice still do not have to refuel.

finally tired and hungry. i am avoiding highway all the way. thats how i ended up having lunch in kuala brang. little small restaurant by the river bank. very nice and relaxing view.
sungai telemomg or terengganu.. not sure.
the bridge before kuala berang.. view from the restaurant.

the specialty here is fresh water fish... i kang baung.. but not me. no for fresh water fish. got caught in heavy rain twice before reaching home. landed safe and sound around 5 pm.
