Tarikh: 29 Disember 2014 - 01 Januari 2015
Jarak: +- 869 km
Laluan/routes : Sungai Buloh(AH2)-Bukit Kayu Hitam(AH2)-Phatthalung(AH2)-Nakhon Si Thammarat(403,4103,401)-Donsak (4142)
Tempoh/duration: 11 jam 29min.
Tahun 2014 telah hampir ke penghujung..seperti tahun2 sebelumnya aku akan keluar ride ke negara siam...sekali setahun cukuplah...jadi tahun ni masih tak bekesempatan sehinggalah bulan Disember lepas...nasib baik kilang aku buat shutdown seminggu..maka senanglah aku nak cuti... rancangan nak tutup seminggu tu dah lama aku dengar cuma tarikhnya tak dapat di pastikan lagi..
It was almost the end of 2014. Just like the previous years which normally I would ride to the land of the White Elephants. A solo ride once a year would be more than suffice. Up till then I cannot possibly commence my usual ride to the said destination until I get the official confirmation that the plant where I work will conduct a shutdown exercise for a period of one week, which is enough for me to take an official leave for the same period.
aku menunggu dengan penuh sabar dan berharap adalah penutupan tu...akhirnya pucuk di cita ulam mendatang...dapat je berita tu terus aku on plan ke siam...kali ni aku nak pergi sorang..partner biasa aku dah jalan dulu dah masa awal bulan Disember...
I was patiently waiting and continuously praying for the plant shutdown. It was after quite some time when the date for the shutdown was announced. Thereafter, straightaway I made my plan for the ride which is a "Journey toThailand

Persiapan awal telah di buat seperti tukar tayar, set rantai, dan juga spark plug seawal bulan Disember lagi walaupun tarikhnya tak pasti lagi..takpalah kalau tak jadi pun tak apa..
In early od december 2014, I have done the entire ususal checklist before any long-distance ride to any destinations like changing the tyres, the set of chain and spark plug.At the moment i was so excited as hell though the date has yet to be confirmed.If it's not meant to be, it;s okay with me.Anyway, she(motorcycle) still need to undergo her periodical maintenance..

The long awaited moment has come.
29/12/2014 0100 hrs I begun my ride, moving towards the northern border of
Malaysia of Bukit Kayu Hitam, and this marked my solo ride.
DAY 1
Selesai urusan kastam dan imegresen di sempadan...tanpa berlengah aku terus menuju destinasi ke utara dan bercadang ride sejauh yang boleh sebelum berhenti rehat untuk check point pertama..lagipun awan agak gelap kat depan so sementara tak hujan baik kita ride...
After all custom and immigration done at
the border. I quickly rushed to the north and tried to ride as far
as possible before I stop at the 1st check point... |
| oh no..not againn... |
 |
| awan hitam menanti...melambai2 dari kejauhan Black cloud awaits ahead of me; seems waving to me welcoming my presence. Not a good sign for me! |
 |
| badan dah ada tanda2 penat...perut pun dah start main lagu reggae...kasi recharge tenaga dulu... Fatigue set in, and the tummy started to play the reggae beat. Well, it's a sign to stop, recharge and EAT!! |
 |
| muka nak senyum pun tak larat... Restless smile due to fatigue.. |
 |
| lokasi sebenar tak tau nak cakap tapi sebelum simpang ke Patthalung...ada sebuah pekan kecil dan restoran ni lepas skit dari traffic light untuk keluar dari bandar itu...anggaran dalam 500m kalau tak silap...sebelum restoran ni ada 1 lagi tapi tutup...so lepas traffic light jangan lah laju...kalau terlepas yang ni ada 1 lagi depan sikit...aku pilih yang ni sebab malas nak ke depan lagi..lagipun masa tu tak tau ada lagi ke tak kedai makan... The exact name of the place I cannot assure but there is a small town along the way..This restaurant is just nearby the treffic light heading to the north, approximately 500m, if I'm not mistaken.There is another restaurant before this one but it was closed. So after the traffic light, I can't speed because I might miss this place.But worry not, after this one there's another down the road. |
 |
| kalau tak ada bulan bintang dan logo halal tu tak berhentinya.. If it's not for the Halal logo(star and moon symbol)being displayed...I won't patronize the premise.. |
Pekerja kat restoran ni tak boleh berbahasa melayu apatah lagi berbahasa inggeris...so terpaksalah mode bahasa ayam-itik di aktifkan..selepas puas berbahasa isyarat menggoreng-aku nak nasi goreng(korang bayangkan lah mcm mana rupanya)mujurlah ada gambar...pekerja tu menunjukan menu mana yang aku nak makan..
The workers here could speak neither Malay nor English. We were like a chicken talking to a duck trying to understand each other. I had to think about all the body and sign languages that I used to know and finally showed them the” frying gesture” of weaving both my hands, each holding an imaginary ladle. You guys can just imagine how hard it was to visualize fried rice to them until I realized that there were pictures of the said menu on the wall which made me felt rather silly, although it helped solved the communication gap
 |
| yang bestnya air di beri percuma tapi ada ke patut bagi aku teh-o ais..tapii...tawar...tak da gula...so aku order lah teh panas... harga:-THB80..
Meals
was served... Yummy! But, the drink that came along with it was iced tea... No
sugar but it’s for free. Cold drink in the middle of a rainy day? It’s really
not cool... So, I ordered hot tea instead.
Price:
THB 80
|
 |
| tak larat nak senyum... Couldn't smile anymore... |
 |
| nampak pekat melekat...so aku tambahla skit air..nasib tak banyak..tertawar la pulak ..ingatkan manis kalau ditengokkan rupanya... And don't judge the tea by its color! This one looks very thick and strong and possibly tastes very very sweet. But I was wrong because the taste was just nice, not too sweet and not too plain. |
 |
| Nakhon Si Thammarat...okay?!! Nakhon Si Thammarat, here I come!! Vroommm!! |
 |
| weee!!! cuaca nampak elok kat depan tuu... Wheee!!! The weather was nice...Let’s ride and chill off~! |
 |
| akhirnya sampai jugak di jeti setelah sepanjang jalan merembat... Finally I reached the jetty after cruising and speeding all the way.. |
 |
| masuk dalam untuk beli tiket Went inside to buy ticket... |
 |
digalakkan menunjukkan geran motor kita untuk mengelakkan di kenakan harga mahal..untuk FZ150i tambangnya THB190 sahaja...
When buying the ticket, it was highly recommended to show your motorbike's grant to avid extra charges.My Fz150i it was only charged THB190 |
 |
| kawasan letak kereta yang luas...tetapi kalau dah sampai sini dengan kenderaan kita tak kan nak park sini je...bawak ke sana laa... Spacious car park area..you have the option to park your car here but after all the driving,might as well you just drive there right? |
 |
| orang pertama beratur...pertama kali sampai...sorang2 dan ini trip feri terakhir.... 1st biker to queue..1st time reached her..only me..and this is the last ferry for the day... |
 |
| bila lampu dah hijau...tunjukkan kad tambang dengan resit pembelian di pondok kecil selepas palang gate tu... When the light turns green...show your fare card togehter with the receipt at the small hut after the gate.. |
 |
| menanti lampu hijau nak naik feri pulak... Again...waiting for green light to board the ferry |
 |
| penat...tinggal semangat je tu...lagipun dah tak jauh je lagii... Phew~~!! It's only my spirit left while my body was totally tired.Another few kilometres to go!! Come on Danial!! I'm a good rider bro!! |
 |
| Deretan kenderaan yang nak naik feri.. A long line of cars waited for their turn to board the ferry... |
 |
| Akhirnya dah kat perut feri...senyummm...penat seharian ride terasa hilang berbaloi bila dah sampai tahap ni... Finnally..I was on board the ferry..No words candescibe my feeling...A lazy smile tells a lot of story...and all the tiredness was flown away....It was tottally a satisied feeling... |
 |
| Feri dah hampir penuh..aku ke atas lah..ada kerusi...ada air-cond...
When the ferry was almost full with vehicles, I went
to the upper deck. The upper deck is fully equipped with chairs and
air-conditioned too.
|
 |
| Suasana dalam feri...feri bergerak keluar ke laut tak rasa...sedar2 dah kat tengah laut...terasa gak lah laut bergelora... View inside the ferry.they were relaxed along the way..I felt the ferry moved in the middle of the rough seas.. |
sampai je ke pulau aku mengelilingi bandar kecil Na Thon untuk mencari hotel yang dicadangkan oleh seorang kawan aku...katanya dekat2 tu je tapi kena pusing la sebab jalan sehala..ada yang mencadangkan tido di Chaweng..tapi dengan keadaan dah malam..badan pun dah penat aku cuba cari dulu dekat2 jeti ni...
When I have reached the island, I went around the small town there on my bike to find a hotel as suggested by my friend. He said the hotel was just nearby the jetty but I had to go a long way because it is a one way road.

masa keluar dari jeti tu terpikir gak mana nak tuju dulu....masa ni lah gerak hati berfungsi...member dah pesan..kawasan tu sehala je..hotel yang di cari Hotel Winten...akhirnya jumpala jugak...mujur hotel tu tepi jalan besar je..kalau celah2 lorong...memang tak jumpa laa...
When I was about to exit from the jetty, I had been thinking where I should head first. Then I remembered that my friend had told me about the one way road and find the hotel first. Finally, I found the suggested hotel, Hotel Winten, which it was located just at the side of the road. So it was easy to find ..

dah jumpa aku terus masuk tanya..dalam hati berdoa..janganlah penuh...Alhamdulillah doa aku dimakbulkan...tanya harga...THB550 semalam...terus aku book 2 malam...hajat di hati nak tambah semalam lagi, kalau tak khatam pusing pulau ni. Tapi yang jaga kaunter tu kata kalau dua malam boleh...kalau tiga malam tak boleh..dah penuh katanya....so esok nak tak nak aku kena khatam pusing pulau ni..hoho...
On reaching the hotel I straight away went to book a room. Luckily, there were many rooms available and I booked for two nights. I was planning to stay there for three nights, but the room was only available for two nights. By hook or by crook, I have to finish my tour around the island latest by tomorrow.

| kelihatan jeti dari bilik hotel ku..tingkat 4...dah punggah barang dan mandi, aku turun tinjau sekitar hotel dan cari ada 1 kedai makan Islam...kedainya jumpa tapi dah tutup pulop...so terpaksala beli makanan dan minuman di 7-E sebelah hotel ni je...lepas tu aku makan santai kat anjung hotel sambil menikmati malam yang sunyi dan tenang.. The jetty can be seen from my rom in the 4th floor.After I checked in,un packed my bag and had my shower,I went out to walk arund nearby the hotel.I loked for muslim restauran t have my dinner but it was closed.S I had to buy some food and drinks from the 7-E which it is lcated just beside the hotel.. |
DAY 2
Pemandangan dari tingkat 4 koridor raya
This is the view from the 4th floor balcony.
 |
| Selamat pagiii Nathon! Good Morning Nathon! |
Jalan2 depan hotel dulu...
Taking a morning walk somewhere near the hotel.
 |
| udara yang segarrrr.... cool and fresh morning air |
 |
| tu lah hotel aku tido..sebelahnya tu lah kedai 24jam tu...kemudian masa untuk ke kedai makan halal yang aku jumpa malam semalam... |
That is Hotel Winten where
I stayed for this trip and the 24 hours shop,the 7-Eleven. Then, I went to the
Muslim restaurant which I found closed yesterday...
 |
| nasi goreng dan teh panas melambai dari kejauhan... Fried rice combo with hot tea was waiting for me there! Let’s go and make my tummy happy! |
 |
| kita tengok menu dulu..menu yang aku pilih..yang atas sekali... "mokcik...saya nak yang ini..(sambil menunjukkan menu di atas sekali) dan teh panas 1.." kataku dalam English yang telah dialih bahasa ke BM..mokcik ni tak boleh cakap Melayu..walaupun dia orang melayu..sedihhh!... |
Let's see the menu! I chose the first one on the menu.
"Madam, I want this (pointing at the first food in the menu) and one hot
tea". I had to speak in English because this lady could not understand
Malay.
sambil tunggu makanan siap, aku pun menjamu mata menikmati pemandangan laut dulu..mata aku tertumpu ke suatu objek di tengah laut...dengan bantuan camera digital aku,aku zoom jauh..dan apa yang aku teka adalah betul..
While waiting for the food, I enjoyed seeing the breath-taking view of the sea. Later, I saw something on the sea, and with the help of my camera, I zoomed in to find out the object... and my guess was right.

Ada dua buah kapal perang di situ....haa...nampak tak yang satu lagii....??tak nampak??....ingat balik kata2 nujum pak belalang... hahaha...
There were two battle ships there. Haa can
you find the other one? Haha do you remember what has been said by Nujum Pak
Belalang before? Hahaha
 |
| makanan pun dah sampai...sarapan di hari pertama...sarapan berat terus memandangkan banyak tenaga nak guna nanti... |
 |
| nasi goreng dengan teh panas THB80... Fried rice served + hot tea. Price: THB80... |
 |
| Suasana dalam kedai tu... The stall's view... |
 |
| Lepas makan..aku amik moto untuk mula After having my breakfast, I've started my solo journey along the Samui Island |
 |
| tak jauh dari hotel, aku berhenti untuk pengembaraan pertama..aktiviti segelintir masyarakat di Nathon... Along the journey, I've stopped somewhere near my hotel.. seeing the activities of Nathon people... |
 |
| kelihatan beberapa warga Nathon menjual ikan segar yang baru di daratkan... Crowd of Nathon people selling and bargain for fresh fishes and seafood. |
 |
ketika ini aku tengok awan mendung membuatkan aku rasa lemah semangat sikit..mana taknya..kalau ujan habis la aktiviti aku hari ni....tapi selepas membuat perkiraan...aku jangkakan awan hitam tu akan ke tanah besar...
I felt a little
bit demotivated when I saw the heavy clouds coming my way. I wished it won’t
rain... or else, I have to postpone all my plans today. Luckily, the heavy
and dark clouds had moved to the Main
Land
 |
| ~~Berarak mendung kelabu.. janganla kau mengekori langkahku~~ ~~"Please pretty heavy dark clouds,please dont follow me this time.Let the little sunshine accompny me, please~ |
 |
| Awan gelap dari sebelah timur pulau... Trouble is on their way. Dark clouds moving from east Island. |
kita tinggalkan awan mendung....harap hari ku disinari sang mentari...wiihuuuu...untuk ride dalam pulau ni ditambah pulak aku ride solo ni..mode 50-60kmj aku aktifkan...yelah..kot2 terlepas pemandangan cantik ke...atau sesuatu yang menarik dipandangan mataku, kan rugi...
I left the heavy clouds behind and continue the journey. I rode only 50-60 km/h because I didn't want to miss out any beautiful scenery.
hentian seterusnya...bukit Khao Laem Ya...menikmati pemandangan laut dari kedudukan tinggi...
The next stop was Bukit Khao Laem Ya...you can enjoy the sea view from this place..
 |
| kalau diperhatikan "wakaf" tersebut, ia mempunyai ciri2 masyarakat Melayu.... Look closely, the hut was built with traditional Malay elements. |
 |
| pemandangan yang agak menarik di sini... Quite a nice view from here. |
 |
| berdua..hanya kau dan aku.... just...you and me... |
Most of the chances I had, I just took my selfie photo up here. =)
But, I couldn't publish all of them here... All of them were Copyright Reserved by Danial Ali & Co. ! heeee=)
 |
| comel sungguhh......pemandangan pantai itu... A very breath taking view....especially the |
hampir suku pulau aku jalan...aku baru perasan meter ODO aku tak berfungsi...sah putus ni...sambil2 ride tu...aku tengok2 gak bengkel motor...nanti tak dapat nak rekod bacaan KM pulak...
While
I rode for almost quarter of the island, I noticed my ODO meter
was not functioning... Time to look for a workshop to repair my
bike...
jalan punya jalan...aku sampai di tengah2 koh samui...kalau ikutkan batu tanda di bawah ni...hehe..
i
ride until i found this landmark...I'm in the middle of Samui!!hehe
 |
| di tengah2 Samui.. |
 |
| akhirnya aku jumpa 1 bengkel ni...aku try masuk tanya ada tak kabel untuk moto ni..setelah dibelek2 oleh pomen dan tokei kedai ni..mereka ada kabel yang boleh masuk untuk moto aku ni...siap tukar THB150...fuhh lega... Finally I found this workshop...I asked about the cable for my bike. Luckily, they have a cable that could fit my bike...they changed it and it cost me THB 150....I was relieved. |
 |
| putus wa cakap luuuu....tak perasan betul bila dia putus..nasib bukan bahagian yang penting...(abaikan kaki tu)..hehe The cable was broken and I didnt notice it...though it was not the important part of the bike. |
 |
| double barrel exhaust |
ok..sambung balik ronda...
The journey continues..
|
 |
| ada wakaf...bleh lepak jap.. a road-side shelter where I took a rest... |
 |
| bestnya angin laut..rasa nak lelap je se-round.. the sea breeze was wonderful, made me feel like going to doze off.. |
 |
| mengikut kata seorang penjual cenderamata di sini...dulu jeti dan pelantar ini di gunakan untuk membawa pelancong ke pulau Pha-Ngan yang terletak di utara pulau Samui ni..kini ia di pindahkan berhampiran tempat yang di panggil Big Buddha.. according to one of souvenir sellers this jetty was used to ferry tourists to the island of Pha-Ngan north of Samui. It was relocated to a near by place called Big Buddha.. |
 |
| beza?jadi berbeza...ternyata berbeza.. see the difference?of course there is a difference.. |
I continued the journey after the short rest at the road-side shelter..
 |
| masa kecik2 dulu kalau lukis pantai, pokok kelapa mesti nak condong macam tu..padahal tak pernah tengok pun betul2..dah when we were kids we used to draw slanting coconut trees even though we haven't seen the real situation..after all these years I had the chance to see the real slanting coconut trees.. |
 |
| kejap ya...you tunggu situ...I nak amik gambiran jap... keep still there while I snap your picture |
 |
| kehadiran aku di sambut salah seekor pengawal Istana Predator...jangan risau...jaga adab ya...tempat ni lebih terkenal dengan panggilan big Buddha...sebab ada patung Budha yang besor amat... my arrival was welcomed by one of the guards of Palace of the Predators...don't worry you just mind your manners. This place is known as The Big Buddha.. |
 |
| jinak sungguh predator ni..boleh bermanja lagii... such a friendly predator..you can tickle him |
 |
| shhhhh...jangan kacau mereka... silence please...you might disturb them... |
lebih kurang 20min kat sini..aku gerak menuju ke tengah Bhoput untuk mencari 1 kedai makan berhadapan Hospital Bangkok...
I spend about 20minutes here before heading to Bhoput to look for a restaurant opposite the Bangkok Hospital.
 |
| jumpa pun setelah berpusing2 dalam 1 kawasan kampung...hospital ni hospital swasta... at last I found the restaurant after scouting around the village area..the hospital is the private one.. |
 |
| kalau aku ada sticker sendiri dah aku tepek kat situ...kat gerai ni,tokei dia boleh cakap melayu...so tak da masalah nak pesan makanan...aku pilih nasi goreng seafood dan teh ais je... If only I had my own sticker I would not hessitantly stick it here..the owner here can speak Malay so I got no problem with my order of fried rice laced with seafood, and iced tea. |
 |
| sementara tunggu makanan siap aku alihkan moto aku ke tempat yang teduh skit...boleh lah dia borak2 dengan Mr Kahn...hehehe while I waiting to food be served I moved my bike to a shaded area.. |
 | ||||||||||
| makanan pun dah sampai...harganya THB100 laa.. for THB100 I got these.. |
 |
| di sebalik telur goreng...terserlah keudangngannya...hehe there is some shrimp hiding under the fried egg... |
Perut sudah kenyang..hati pun senang..tenaga sudah datang..aku meneruskan penjelajahan ini...
with a full tummy one sould be happy and enegertic to continue the ride..
 |
| pemandangan Laut China Selatan versi siam... View of South China Sea |
 |
| apakan daya aku tak rajin nak turun ke sana...bukan apa..kalau turun ke sana sah2 bukan sekejap...layan dulu bunyi ombak memecah batu..cewah... I am reluctant to go there...i will spent a lot of time there... |
 |
| tengok dan ambil gambar dari atas pun dah cukup mengasikkan... taking photo from where I am standing is good enough |
.JPG) |

| Hin Ta Hin Yai...aku tak masuk kat situ sebab aku target ke Namuang Waterfall...agak rugi di situ... I skipped Hin Ta Hin Yai in order to go to Namuang Waterfall.. |
 |
| dalam perjalanan..kalau aku ternampak pemandangan yang aku rasa menarik..aku singgah jap...nikmatinya... on the way I used to stop when ever scenic area to enjoy the view.. |
 |
 |
| laluan masuk ke perkampungan Melayu Samui..tujuannya 1...menunaikan tuntutan-Nya... the road leads to a Malay village of Samui where I found a mosque for my Asar prayer... |
 |
| berehat sebentar melihat telatah budak2 kg ni bermain... I took short break and enjoy watching kids playing.. |
 |
| budak kecik ni fasih berbahasa Melayu dialek Kelantan...agak kagum jugak la...yelaaa..ada yang aku jumpa orang tua dah tak boleh berbahasa Melayu sebab kekangan pengaruh orang Thai yang lain... This kid can converse in good Malay with a Kelantan dialect..I am quite touched by her ability because some of the elderly that I met here could not even utter a word of Malay due to the strong influece of the Thais culture... |
 |
| sambil2 berbual dengan seorang pakcik ni..aku melihat permainan masa kecik aku dulu yang dah lama aku tak tengok...ke budak2 Malaysia dah tak main permainan ni?? |
while having a short conversation with one of the elderly people of the village, I could not help noticing their kids playing rope skipping which I think kids in Malaysia has long forgotten about it..
 |
| pemandangan hadapan masjid Nurul Ihsan,Samui.. in front view of Nurul Ihsan,Samui mosque.. |

 |
 |
| sampai daaahhh.....tapi masa ni zoo ni dah tutup untuk lawatan...aku pun terus ke Namuang Waterfall..

another disappoinment was when my camera ran out the battery and to relly to my handphone is know no because it cannot nite picture..I just snap a few picture of the surrounding area..i took short rest to enjoy fresh country air before i proceed to the hotel..

What is welcoming here is the straight strecth of road...on reaching the bridges I took a short rest..who cares..the traffic is low here on the bridge.. |
 |
| pemandangan dari atas jambatan ni.... A view from atop the bridge... |
 |
| aku pantang betul tengok jalan lengang.... An almost empty stretch of road is really my cup of tea... |
 |
| asal ada peluang... Given the chance.. |
dah puas layan pemandangan di sini aku pun gerak...destinasi seterusnya...Songhkla...
When I’m done watching the scenery here I make my move for my next destination…Songkhla..
 |
| menghampiri Songhkla aku cuba untuk mencari patung duyung di tepi pantai...tapi apakan daya..masa aku sampai bandar Sonhkla hari dah malam...so aku terus la ke Hatyai... On reaching Songkhla, I went to look for the mermaid by the beach...(oopps a scupture of mermaid that is).Too bad its night time already in sonkhla..hence I shot straight to Hatyai |
 |
menghampiri bandar Hatyai aku berhenti di tepi jalan untuk tengok gps..kendian dari jauh aku terperasan sesuatu yang biasa kita lihat di Malaysia terutama dekat nak raya..
When nearing Hatyai, Is tooped by the road sidefor gps reading..while doing this my eyes caught sight of something that I used to see back in Malaysia when Hari Raya nears.. |
 |
| aku sempat bertanya ke penjual tu apa yang di masak...memang sah lemang...tapi lemang kontot... I asked the hawker what he is cooking...no doubt it..it is lemang but of midget size... |
dari Songhkla aku ke Hatyai tapi aku elak masuk pusat bandar...cuma lalu tepi2 je..takut sesat je kalau masuk...hehe
From Songkhla I headed for Hatyai avoiding the town centre for fear of getting lost in the busy thoroughfare..
 |
| ride... ride jugak...yang wajib jangan di tinggalkan...semoga perjalanan kita deberkati dan dilindungi oleh-Nya Yes, you can go riding and do other worldly things but don't ever neglect the compulsory duty to the Almighty...you need His blessing and protection in whatever you do... |
 |
| kat pekan ni aku singgah tapau ayam goreng dia...bekalan makan di mana2 nanti.. In this small town I bought and packed some fried chicken...something to nibble along the way... |
 |
| Anggota Imegresen thai boring2 layan karoke dulu... The Thai Immigration Officres-to kill their boredom engaged themselves in a short round of karoke.. |
 |
| Terima kasih... Thank You... |
 |
| dah sampai sini hati ada sikit lega...kepuasan hampir terasa... I felt a bit relieved when I reached here...I can almost feel the satisfaction... |
 |
| macam biasa...masa keluar dulu jumpa "penghulu" Jitra ...balik pun jumpa lagi...pekenalkan yang sebelah kiri tu la "penghulu" merangkap sifu saya abang Eid dan yang kanan kawannya abang Syed..join depa pekena teh tarik dengan nasi lemak dulu...layan plak dengan buah mata kucing dan kuaci...sembang punya sembang dah macam tak pikir nak balik KL sedar2 dah pukul 11 malam lebih...dengan berat bontotnya "on the bike!!!"terima kasih buat mereka yang belanja makan dan minum malam tu... sesungguhnya ini hanyalah permulaan...
As usual, just like when I left, I had to see the
“Chief” of Jitra, I have did the same when I returned. He is on the left a.k.a.
my sifu, brother Eid, and on the right is his friend Brother Syed. I joined them for a
the tarik and nasi lemak session…with buah mata kucing for dessert and a packet
of kuaci. We talked and talked as if Kuala Lumpur was not on my mind. Then I
realized it was 11.00pm already and dragging my feet I was on the saddle again
before thanking the duo for the treats that night
this is just a beginning....
