Return from Malacca/Port Dickson!




Wah, its been weeks since I came back from my bike trip. Didn't really have the chance to sit down and blog about it. I'm damn busy man now lah... hahaha!

I left behind my baby in SG to go on this trip, she was naturally concerned about me and we paid a visit to the famous "see-bay-loh" guanyin temple the day before. Appreciate her thoughtfulness but riding has become a hobby of mine, and it's almost near impossible to give it up. Both of us have to compromise on this, I guess.

The trip was incident free, save for one. The notorious malaysian traffic police and their less than honourable reputation for taking money from us poor singaporeans who are only out to have a little adventure ride in their country.

We settled it the usual way, and quickly brushed aside the unhappy incident and proceed to our destination and exploration of the quaint town of port dickson. Looks pretty run down to me, sea-sides aren't that fantastic either. We then headed south to Malacca on Tim's trusty GPS. It was almost evening time when we reached. And then we proceed to have the famous chicken rice balls. Nothing much to shout about either, and price was OK. Wish I could have stayed longer to hang around the night market, which seems to hold quite a fair bit of knick-knacks, and it only happens on friday and weekend nights. Oh well, there's always a next time!
