2 weeks ago, my housemates and I went for a road trip to Port Dickson (PD). We were joined by Jian Lim @ Ghost, Satoru @ assat, Joyce, Pauline and Belinda.
We left for the beach on Sunday morning, in 3 cars. It was sure comfortable journey since I drove and each passenger had more than adequate space. Halfway the journey, we stopped at Seremban for brunch at a dim sum restaurant. Surprisingly we had to queue for our turn to have our meals there. (Un)Fortunately, we stood a good 20 minutes for our turn outside the building.
Food was decent for the price we paid. Dim Sum was varied
what a queue
Finally... food

We arrived at Port Dickson in the noon. Tried to check in our apartments at Sunshine Bay but was still 2 hours early. So we headed to the beach, without and sunblock lotion (the girls do). So sun burn is inevitable hahah.
The beach was low tide, so it has a lot of reddish spot. When we looked near, it was crabs. I know grammatically it should be 'they were crabs' yeah tiny little crabs, but they were enormous in quantity that we deemed 'it' uncountable. A picture may speak a thousand words.
A whole load of crab there on the sea side

The apartment that we stayed, Sunshine BayWe played and baked (or rather burnt) under the brisk (or rather burning hot) sun until we finally managed to move into our apartments. Ah, no pictures for events later on.
All under one sun
During the evening, we went down again for a swim at the beach. It wasn't clean but still bearable, but the saltiness there is just one of it's kind. Maybe it has too many 'variety' thanks to civilization... and us.
Later then, some played Banana Boat but I missed it. Well, it was kinda intentional because I didn't felt like it.
At night, we had BBQ and urm.... yeah BBQ.....
We played and drank a little but not drunk.... and off to bed... boring isn't it. But they were far more enjoyable that how I described them. Maybe I'm being least expressive or is it the missing photos?...
So, to day 2.
We visited Malacca, again we drove there using an old road. I almost bump into accident when overtaking a trailer. Man, that was one hell of a experience. So thrilled ! Hahaha, actually I was more scared that how I describe here. Am I a little bit too lively?...
Anyway, lets get back to the story.
It was a winding road and I was waiting for a chance to overtake the trailer. I was tailing the trailer which Merv had the chance to overtake earlier until I saw a long slope. The opposing side was empty and that was a long stretch of slope. So I pressed on the pedal as I drove pass the trailer. Suddenly, the slope came to an end and (un)fortunately, there were cars travelling with a 'built tough' Proton Savvy leading. I stepped on the gas pedal harder and the trailer slowed down and I managed to turn back into the road safely. Suprisingly, the car was only running at 3000rpm during the incident. Am I a little dramatic here? Fact is I was more freaked out than how cool it was desribed. Well, I was lucky and this is a very good real life lesson. I could have formed a caterpillar pile with Savvy head and made a hamburger out of my friends. Thanks Chui and Ghost for having faith in me. Hahah... I was just joking...err.. yeah...well... yeah..
Anyway, we reached Malacca in the noon. We went for the famous Chicken Ball Rice and have a short walk around there. Visited A Farmosa Fort which was overrated by the History book. It looked bigger in the text. And took a ride in a thrishaw. Wow, even a thrishaw has better sound system than my car!
Foooood!
Me in the shop
We went back late in the afternoon. This time going home by highway and 110kmh all the way. Too freaked out to speed after the near miss. Hahah... well, only 130/140 a couple of times and that's all... not lying.
