Day 1: Singapore - Port Dickson - Singapore
01 May 2007, Tuesday
It's Labour Day today, and having gotten my Suzuki GSX-R 1000k5 two days ago, I decided to try out its power on the North South Highway (NSH) in Malaysia. I've planned to setoff at 0700hrs in the morning, but was dampened but he downpour. I continued to laze in bed until 1000hrs before pushing off to the Malaysia customs.
The sheer power of the bike took me less than an hour before I arrived at Yong Peng for the famous Wonton Mee. Acceleration from 0-100km/h is less than 3 seconds, and the top speed is in excess of 299km/h.
I continued along NSH and took the Port Dickson exit along route 53. Soon, I was riding along the coastal road of Port Dickson. It isn't as nice as I had imagined; the beach is not very attractive, and probably its because today is a Public Holiday, thus the beach is really packed with the locals. I got myself a nice windy spot and relax over there for a drink.

Before I feel more sleepy, I got on my bike and started making my way back. Had a stopover in Yong Peng for the FuZhou fishball & FuZhou noodles for dinner, before ending the trip back at Gelang Patah.
