Pengarang Cycling Trip 15 Feb 2009

it's been like a week plus since the 38km cycle at Pengarang. Slipped my mind to blog about it as well. Managed to drag my fatigue body into the gym and jogged for a good 35min. Told myself I gotta keep up with my exercise as I had conscientiously worked out for the whole month of Jan and didn't want to lose the momentum.

Pengarang （四湾岛) was good. I think cycling is a good sport if you dread jogging. At least you're seated and the only part you need to work out would be your legs. I had a good tan with minimal peeling of skin. Love the wind in my hair and enjoying the nature. The scary thing was the speeding vehicles we were cycling along with. Just gotta be abit more careful. Seafood was passable coz the portions were meagre though price is cheap. The crabs were hopelessly puny. urgh.

Okay, less talk more information on the trip if you intend to go. A few have asked me about the itinerary, so here it goes. Thanks to Matt for planning this whole thingy with such a detailed itinerary. oh..as it's part of Malaysia, pls remember to bring your passport.
