Desaru II (26Dec-28Dec08)


A good break from the cycling trip. Lots of time to be quiet and listen. Can't be helped that sometimes what the bunch of kids do is beyond my comprehension. Plus I was excessively poked at my biceps and stomach by my juniors the whole tripBut I enjoyed the quietness. The scenery - cows, lalangs, nature. The sea, its waves.

Seafood dinner was yummy! Buttered baby lobsters, black pepper crab (better than eng seng's!), steamed prawns, cereal prawns, oyster with eggs, vege, curry pork dish, lala, deep dried man tou, yam ring. Super cheap too. And on the way back from the dinner, the night greeted us with a clear starry night, and I thought how great it would be if my friends were there with me to watch them sparkle as well.

The cycling itself was yucks, but great workout for the thighs, calves and butt. Going-to-desaru journey was uphill slopes, slopes, and more slopes! I thought I would curse out loud if i saw another slope, but exhaustion kept my mouth shut. Also saw a few roadkills this trip - 1 iguana going to desaru; 1 monitor lizard (with spilled, or should i say burst guts) and a snake (squashed) on the way back. Coming back journey had less killer slopes, but nonetheless still a few torturous ones. It was the state of the ass that made the return journey more painful.
