Finally, the post on the fishing trip. It’s definitely an incredible experience. For the first time I’m embarking on a long distance drive to my destination: Mersing, which is about 140km from Singapore requiring 1 hour half drive. Driving in Malaysia is not that scary as imagined. I’ve noticed that the drivers in Malaysia are actually quite considerate as the drivers on the next lane would actually slow down to let you join the lane if you do signal your intention. The drivers there would also signal to you possible hazards on the road ahead. This is extremely useful when you are travelling on those mountain roads which is kinda like those Initial D road where there is only 2 lane one for travelling uphill and the other lane for travelling downhill. I’ve being enjoying the road trip because it’s a relaxing drive and get to view many scenic views of nature along the way. And some of the views are simply breathtaking. A pity that I did not stop to take pics of the views.


The items i'm bringing for the 4 days trips.


My sis gift to me for this trip. Scratches on the right side of the car. She scratched the car while exiting from the multi storey carpark. Repair works to be done soon..... sigh.....


Spent the 1st nite in the town of mersing. Stayed in a backpackers hotel. Mersing is a small fishing town. Jus feel so relaxed to be there. Away from urbanization you get to enjoy the simplicity of life.
