Hello. Sorry to those who came and saw nothing new. Hence I shall hereby blog about my recent one and only ODAC trip. After not being in any ODAC committee, had been dropping my participancy in ODAC activities le. My last was ODAC BBQ?? Anyway I had went to Desaru, signed up alone, lucky was grouped with the "老教"s. Thanks to either one of my trip leaders: Weisi; Kang Hong; Siying.
Went to Changi V alone, and saw quite a number of ppl alr there waiting. Some familiar and unfamiliar faces. First thing first, Weisi's fren, Raymond (Weiqiao) came to break the ice. Yay. Got a new fren; soon after was introduced to his fren (ehm. GF), Yu Jia. Luckily we were in the same boat, as well as some familiar ppl, and a grp of 4. Had a 小插曲, that Weiqiao's passport dropped into the base of the bumboat. And all of us went to rescue by opening the wooden planks.
After an hour of boat ride, which made me a bit sea sick, we reached Msia. Paiseh, I forgot what's the name of the pier or jetty. Soon, we pass the custom, loaded up our bags, up the taxis, and left for the town to eat and collect bikes. Sad to say, I got a chui bike which decelerates fast as compared to the bikes i used to cycle on. Our first stop after around 15mins of cycling: Ostrich Farm.
Soon after around 3pm, we set off for our destination: Desaru resort 35km away. Somehow or rather, after clearing the first upslope, my view starts to darkened, and I immediately went to find a comfortable position to rest. I was feeling v dizzy, and asked to stop for a while. The feeling was kind of sian, as I missed like 10km plus worth of cycling. Up in the lorry, before hydrating myself, I was trying to rest till I was feeling better. However, it seems as if there was someone who poured water over my head as water continuously drips down from my head.
After resting, I continued riding, but met wif a small drizzle. The remaining route consists of several upslopes that I was too tired, and precautious that I stopped and pushed my bike up the slope. After several hours of "struggling", we saw the road sign pointing Desaru with a round about. It was downslope all the way and YES! we reached our destination - Damai Resort.
My first feeling was, it looked like either a hall or a army bunk from the outside. The inside was still ok but seems dirty. We had a small buffet dinner at one of the rooms. I shared the room with WeiSi, KangHong and Eugene. Cool rite? 4 person only. In the end, Yali and Siying slpt in our room cuz it was more spacious. There wasnt much entertainment at the resort, only mayb a TV to watch soccer matches. We kinda played card games till 12 plus 1 and went to deep slumber before we set off for the next day.
To be continued...P.S: The pictures above was koped de. All not mine. Owners, pls forgive me. =)
