Durians Durians

Went about the Marsiling/Mandai area in search of the prickly delicacy. Armed with nothing more than a diver torch, sensitive noses and the love for durians.

Not exactly a fruitful trip, while we 'trekked' the old kampong roads (or the present-day training grounds), identifying durian trees after durian trees but no sight of the prickly fruit. The occasional scent of durian fragrance drove our enthusiasm... but no haul from the little excursion.

Unsatisfied, we headed to Geylang for the real deal.
Bao jiak ok~ The thick flesh, the bitter sweet taste, the fragrance...
i can almost taste them again.Getting high on durians... See that euphoric look!
Yeah, Ash... Kiss them, suck them, dig them...

Let me summarise the night in one word:

Shiok

*buuuuurp*

Shopping Trip

Supposed to be Rae-Screw-Ash's-Rack session over at Tampines... but it slowly evolved to a mini-shopping trip at Mustafa Centre.

We all got something... mainly food items

Just look at how enthusiastic Ash is!
Ok... maybe not that whinny...Checking out the Non-Alcoholic Drinks. It comes in whiskey/wine/rum flavour as well! Just beside it, there's non-alcoholic beer as well... Healthy section.
Just to show that nothing/noone escapes my camera.

Saturday Durian Stake Out

By the way, this coming Saturday, 28th July 07. Anyone interested in picking durians over at Turf Club? Should be meeting for dinner before we head out for our durian spots.

Anyone game?

Ride.Up.North

It was a great success!
A very eventful trip to Mersing, our virgin trip to the north.
Too tired to do any much captions or comments, i shall let the pictures do the talking =)Met up at Red's place for briefing and final checks.The causeway jam, note Ali at the back.Arrived at the first petrol kiosk, all fueled and ready to go.
Riding through Johor Bahru.Our teacher acting cool there...Our first minor hiccup, but no worriesMersing is just straight aheadOur first pit stop for some hot spicy dinner. *hot-hot!*
As we prepared ourselves for some night riding.
Too bad no pictures available as my camera is unable to capture anything in that darkness, though we had our 2nd minor hiccup. But we are good to go!Stopping by for some tidbits/snacks/drinks for the long night ahead.At our 2nd makan place before we head out to Air Papan for the night.Pictures from our lovely little area under the coconuts tree...
Relac relac
The sandy beach... where me, Maz, hf and Rae had a shag time playing Super-Ultimate Frisbee 2-on-2!Hf joining Maz & Rae in the water after she was caught/tackled/bundled into it... Look like siblings playing...Setting off for Day2, at the pumps again.A bumpy return leg, with potholes and cars overtaking... but lunch is here. Look at the mad rush for food!
Not to mention the weather, which was erratic at times... sun... rain... sun... rain...and presenting to you....Maz, the man!

Finally, the reasons why we came back later than expected (the causeway jam excluded).But it all adds to the experience.
=)

Finally, making our last pump at the kiosk before we head back to Singapore soil...Home sweet home
