After those hours constantly thinking about what's gonna happen after Form 5, I kinda feel like I should do something while still being teenagers. Something extraordinary for someone like me. I figured it should be something that makes me feel alive. Then I was in a conversation with a friend about vintage classic rides. Like Vespas and VW buses. I got to the topic about what I'm gonna do with something like a VW bus. Then I remembered a picture I saw on deviantart. It was a picture of a beach, the shape of a VW bus in the corner on the picture, a couple sitting intimately on the beach and a few other people kicking back on/around the bus and they were all staring out into the sunset. I felt a strong attraction to that picture. I wanted to be in it.
So, I started remembering about that trip to Genting I had recently. I remember that it was actually the best day I have ever had. No kidding. The day was perfect. 4 guys doing anything they want in a good entertaining environment where everything went their own way. PERFECT. So, I thought, why not see how much luck is on our side. Go on a road trip, our own ride, our own rules, our own life. Live it. Love it. Let it go.
I checked out Google Earth. I saw some places of interest that I would love to take a bunch of friends armed with a VW bus to. I haven't planned everything out yet. But roughly I plotted out that I want to go south. South towards Singapore. Figured 10 days is a good time. I figured the first day, we pack up our stuff, the VW (or at least some other fuel economic vehicle that can fit a few people and their luggage, and possibly a place to crash in the case of an absence of a motel or any place to sleep. Hell, why not take some tents with us?), and just get on the road, bright and early. Take half the day, or some of the morning to get to our first stop, A Famosa. Tour the place, learn a bit. Be a tourist for a while. Good place to take pictures. Spend about a day there.
The next day get out on the road again and head down to JB. Hear there's good shopping there. Something for the girls (if there would be any). Take a break there for the day, maybe spend a night out on the town, check out the night life. The next day head down to Singapore.
Singapore also has good shopping, and some good places to take pictures. Good sightseeing meaning to say. The zoo, bird park. Historical monuments. Tour the place. Spend another day there, check out the beach, maybe. Then the next day make our way back up towards KL.
But first head back to Melaka. To Tanjung Bidara. Me n the parents used to go down there to fish off the shore, and roasted the catch for dinner. Thinking of going there with the gang one day. Why not slot it in with the road trip? Call ahead for the motel I love going to so that there's a reservation. Book the place and get there. Rent some fishing gear, and just chill out. And later that night, cook the catch. If no catch, could always try the nice seafood joints that litter the place. Spend 2 days there.
Then for something a bit more exciting, we head up to Port Dickson. Beautiful beaches, sunsets, souvenirs, possibly the night life. Chill out on the beach, relax. Take a break from all the moving around. Let our worries float away. And pray there's no tsunami coming.
And when we've seen it all, we just head straight back up to KL, back home to our families and go on with our lives.
So, the map is set, just a bit of planning to go with it. Need to check with motels, transportation, who's going, and money. I'm hoping this trip will happen, and I'd give just about anything for this trip to happen.
