1DTO trip - Labis

Went to 1DTO Labis trip on 8 Feb. As this is my last min decision to join this trip, I did not actually know who I will meet. But to my surprise I saw familiar faces like Huairen, Koh (cool cruiser), and Oriental. I reached GP Esso at about 8.30am, then minum kopi, kua chiobu, kua nice bike and walking around. Only till 9.30am then I realised that my group was behind at toilet... -_-"""

The Gold Wing belongs to organiser Gr8White. He can control this big bike like a bicycle *salute* ... also saw some 2B bikers like bajaj, SP around... to keep me company sia.


The organiser at the background...

We rode OTOT to Yong Peng using NSHW. When I approached Yong Peng exit I saw no marker, only saw these two guys standing there, they themselves also blur blur... but common sense told me shld exit Yong Peng (S) so I go in anyway.


But I was right lar... this is the right exit so we all just waited under the sun... and take photo... but bloody hot...


Actually I wanna try my new tank bag for this trip... it is strap-on type, Oxford 1st time brand only $65 selling at motoworld. I think quite worth one. And I wanna see how easy to mount n dismount it, and will it scratch my tank not... checked today, got a minor scratch, maybe I too engrossed to lie flat on it in NSHW. Sigh... but overall it is useful esp for short trip cos its easier to mount & dismount if compared to my tail pack...


Then we passed by Yong Peng town and stopped there for fuel. Another wait again... arghhhh weather quite hot today lei.


Cool cruiser at fuel pump. Actually hor... I always think this pattern of fueling not safe, cos I heard that the fuel may sudden splash our for whatever reason and if kena the eye very jialat. So, dun try hor. Hehe...

Then we proceeded to Labis via trunk road. This is where the fun began because I always feel NSHW quite monotonous. It is about 60km from Yong Peng to Labis. Actually on the way to Labis my head suddenly getting very tight feel and pain (maybe due to heat). That's why I din really enjoy that journey and bin cao cao (black face) and hope can reach there sooner... then final leg was more jialat, it was a small road with lots of pothole, gravel, and one bridge... hahaha. I think I was the only one going at super slow speed because I dun wan to be caught in surprise esp at those bends... later got gravel or sand how... sorry for those behind me okay... but I am glad my bike able to make it there... nothing mischap.

You know why the photo so bright not? Cos its like damn hot lor... I really chao ta liao...

There is one waterfall there... but the water seems quite deep for me so I din dip over there... I can swim but cannot stand in water... sigh... alot of kids jumping stunt at that waterfall too... they seems really enjoying themselves.

After I recovered from heat and headache, I found one secluded spot to dip dip... this is further downstream from the waterfall, and the water quite peaceful there.

Oriental also joined me to play water. The water really cooling here.

I was getting really really hungry... lucky still have chicken rice n roti prata. Actually the rice was quite dry but since I was so hungry anything is yummy...

After lunch then we proceeded to hot spring... it is more like a community area and nicely renovated. So its not that "natural"... but water still hot lah... mai hiam still okay.

Everyone just sit around the big pool and dip leg... so people very gungho and could swim inside... but I don't want to have half-boiled ball so better don't try :)

After the hotspring then have to make our way back cos its getting dark and have to give the Batu Pahat chendol a miss. Reached GP exit at about 7pm... then wait for everyone to arrive for dinner.

This blue jean man is very friendly with us 2b bikers. But forget to ask his name... only know he rides Super 4... *wave* one thing about large convoy ride is sometimes we tend to live in our own world because we always split into small group... hahaha...

Lucky I still have some buddies in this trip or else very boring sia... this is Huairen with our trademark pose.

Then again chiong all the way to GP Kg Pendas for dinner. Actually I quite surprise got such place exist... cos I always tot GP just one exit along 2nd link n ulu ulu... oh... still got seafood sia. Not bad... next time can explore GP... hehe... maybe 15 Feb, anyone???

We don't eat helmets, we eat seafood. But too hungry, noone take photo lor!!!

This Koh very lihai... people jump ship jump party, he jump table... hehe...

Dinner done at about 8.30pm, then its dark trunk road out. Instead of going via shortcut we went by expressway... so this soft-spoken CBR guy really no fuel liao... habis... I should have warn him to ask them to bring him via shortcut... then along the 2nd link all OTOT liao... when I reached GP Petronas oredi in my reserve with about 2 litre of fuel... lucky me...

Overall the trip is nice and fun. I feel that for this kind of big convoy trip, most impt is about the road and ride. The place of attraction and food actually secondary because alot of time we actually have to spend in briefing, waiting, waiting, and waiting again. So in these waiting time can be used to talk rubbish, kua chiobu, look bike, day dream, lim kopi etc. But it's very relaxing and safe to travel in convoy, because all have to do is follow n follow... no need to think... haha... suit me well sometimes.

So it is actually a very enjoyable experience. Thank you everyone for making this trip possible!
