.:: Cherating Highlights ::.

I noe my Cherating highlights is kindof late......my pc been giving me problems for the past few days....i guess its gonna crash anytime soon!!! Urrgghhh....

S'pore - Cherating : Sat 24/12/05
We woke up around 4.45am....decided to beat the traffic at the immigration checkpoint.....left the carpark around 6.00am and guess what time did we reached JB? It was only 6.20am! There was no jam at all at the motorcycle lane.....

Norman was already there when we reached at the meeting point in JB.....the rest of the gang arrived more than an hour later and they too did not experienced any jam.....My bruder's frens, most of them wearing new riding gear like Dainese jackets, Clover riding pants, Helmets, etc....and Siti got the best buy of a last piece of Dainese riding pants for only $150!

Here's a pic of the riders for this Cherating trip....

The initial part of the journey everything went well even the weather and we even managed to stop for breakfast.....after that the downpour was quite bad that we had to stop at Mersing town. This was to let some of the riders to change their visor to a clear one. Some of them were drenched be it their jacket or jeans or boots were soaked with water! Even my Dainese jacket was asking for mercy.........and poor bebeh, his hp got all soaked up and was totally gone case! He put it in the pocket of the riding pants and got wet, I did the same for my hp but mine was alrite, funny ya?! And both of us were wearing the same type of riding pants.

We reached Kuantan around 2pm and the Bistro which we previously visited was not yet opened so we had lunch elsewhere......at last we found a sup ekor which was quite comparable to the one we had at Chiang Rai (the best, so far!)..... hhhhmmmmm .... yummy! here's a pic of the tom yam sup ekor...

By the time we checked into Residence Inn it was already late afternoon.....the hotel was a flop! Quite rundown.....And not long after we settled down in our room, we were being asked to change to another room at the ground floor reason being the aircon was faulty but later we found out that the rooms were given to others.....Before that managed to capture the view of the hotel and this pic is sure deceiving.....if only you were there.......

At nite, we were scouting for seafood.....there wasn't any good seafood around the hotel and the riders were too tired to ride back down to Kuantan area so we had this cheap seafood dinner for only RM10 per person....ok la....not bad and before lights out we visited the hotel's KTV....some were playing pools or dart while others just sit back and relax....

Cherating - S'pore : Sun 25/12/05
After checked out in the afternoon, we headed back to Spore.....this time round the weather was fine and there were only passing showers.....at least not as bad as the day before.....we enjoyed the ride and reached Mersing around 3.30pm.....

Had lunch at a Bistro recommended by Norman...the food was not bad and the ambience was alrite....quite comparrable to the Bistro at Kuantan....and here's a group pic taken outside the Bistro......

By the time we headed for the Tuas Checkpoint, I was mentally ready to face the jam but surprisingly again, there was no jam at all.....

This trip was a short one but it was great to be riding again.....and its fun riding with the rest of the gang.....being with my bruder's frens reminded me of my old sec sch frens......the crude jokes, the slogginess, the fun and laughter with them simply made me miss my old frens....
