Melaka

Melaka

Ok, let's forget abt school stuffs for the moment. I spent the last 2 days of my school holidays overseas. This one is a little short, but it was pretty fun. I went to Melaka, Malaysia, with mum, sis, MQ n a whole lot of my cousins, niece n nephews.

For the first time, I drove my car out of Singapore, 204km up north into Malaysia. It was one of a kind of experience, with the crazy speed along the highway n some aggressive driving in Malaysia.

1st day, Saturday

5.30am in the morning b4 setting off from the carpark. Mileage is 27, 746km

There was a bad jam at Tuas 2nd Link. I had to dig deep in order to cut queue n save some time. The lane cutting is not one for the faint hearted.

Finally after an hour at the Singapore checkpoint, I see the sea n the bridge..

In Malaysia land, having a toilet break at the petrol station's toilet b4 "flying" on the highway

Stopped over at a small town called Yong Peng for bfast..

Peaceful morning..

~YUM~ Time to head home....

This is all u see on Malaysian highway at night..

I got home at 12am, mileage reading 28, 382km. I had travelled for 636km within less than 48hrs..

After the trip, I appreciate Singapore roads more. Obviously, it's safer, cleaner n more drivable. I almost forgotten I've gotten into Singapore land n had to drive within the 90km/h speed limit on highways n my aggressiveness almost didn't stop too. The long distance is definitely a test of endurance n skills. Next trip to Genting perhaps?? I shall see.
