The Epic Adventure - Pengerang Cycling Trip

This was meant to be a day trip, meaning we should be home for dinner. But, we went for something more EPIC, and we made it home in time to sleep. Nevertheless, no one is complaining! Wahahaha..it was it really really good experience, and I wouldn't mind doing it again =D Papa said we made 'Band of Brothers' look like a gameshow.

Let's start off here. Papa and mummy started off their adventure with a 21km bike fr Woodlands down to Sengkang. From there, Kai and I joined them and we headed down to Changi Village via Old Tampines Rd. We were a little late, and Caromes was already waiting for us there. Breakfast was on Papa! Haha..cos he made us wait =)

Next was the bumboat ride to Pengerang. A 1hr boat ride in the sun; we sat right at the back and played some poem game. Damm fun lah! Was already slightly burnt when we arrived. Pengerang was like a small seaside village, a lot of greenery and 'kampung' sights. Trip to the town was fun, we did about 17-18kmh..at some point even 15kmh. The town was nice, many seafood restaurants. Had lunch at one of them; lobster, toufu, veg, ... power! The bike ride back to the jetty was more power, 20-21kmh!

If you think the adventure ends here, I'm sorry; it just started. Last bumboat was suppose to be 1600hrs, and we were there at 1530hrs. Still, no boat came, and we were stranded! We tried calling for help, but there were no more seats on the boats..no more taxis to ferry us (all the others had taken the cabs to JB to cross over to S'pore). In the end, we managed to share a lorry with another group of cyclist, cost us RM150. We then change to a car and took a 2hr ride to JB, this cost us RM160. Car ride was..erm..fast and erm..exciting. 160kmh!! Mind-blowing!

Causeway was jammed as usual, so we alighted 2km from the causeway and walked through the rest. This is where it gets really exciting..hopping from island to island to avoid traffic, walking by the side along with crazy motorcyclist, carrying our bikes through traffic and along a narrow pathway. At the immigration, we took the motorbike lane..haha. The M'sia side was a bit bo chup but the S'pore side was quite strict. We got quite a scolding from them. Well..things happen ya.

After that, it was an exciting bike ride through the causeway and back to Woodlands after the S'pore immigration. Dinner was at the foodcourt nearby, was almost half asleep. Ride back to school was hapspening, chiong all the way though Woodlands Town Park and Marsiling MRT!! Reached at about 2300hrs. From there..it was home, unfortunately to a lot of nagging.

May have left out some details..for my safety, and some because of my excitement to recall the epic memory from my 64MB brain..

Forgot something..I'm a si gin nah. Hahahah! Cos I chased a chicken while cornering into the drinks stall. It was coming towards me and I was going at like 18kmh before the turn. Sorry chicken..Muahahahaha
