Meeting place was the Petronas Taman Melati, myself reach there by 6.10am. It was planned by 6 t gather, however Zain only arrived there by 6.40 and An by 7. Then we cycle to Batu Cave, meet up Abg Man. Then before the fly-over at Batu Cave, An's front tire punture. Change the tube, we continue cycle to Rawang. We stop at Pekan Rawang for breakfast. There, i change my slick tire with Atan, as to help him. Then we continue cycle. The journey was quite slow, as Atan was not used with cycling and long distance journey. He got cramp 5 times. I decicded that he should turn back, since time is not on our side. We had our break at Tanjung Malim's famous Pau, there we had our lunch and my Dad wanted to pick up Atan. Mean while, for the 4 of us, we continued our journey at 4 and straight ahead to Sungkai. We reached Sungkai around 8.30pm. We went to Petronas, asking for any kind of place to stay. Reluctantly, there is none. We went to a stall, had our dinner. The shop owner give us to stay at their house. Well the house is not occupied, so just the 4 of us.

Zain said he wanted to try Mee Udang Mak Teh that came out in TV3. We ask the people, they said 7km more. We cycle in, it was not 7km but it was 14km. Means 28km!. After that, we continue our journey to Penang. From Taiping to Kuala Kangsar, well it was hell. For us to reach Bagan Serai, it's killing the four of us. However we managed to reach Butterworth, we bought out KTM ticket. Took ferry to island, cycle to Gurney Drive. Then. We cycled to Feringgi. It was dangerous since there are car races. Damn.
