CRUISING ON ZACBOY

Rocker57 and I rode ZacBoy to Sepang & Port Dickson (beaches) to check out accommodations for my former classmates overnight reunion in December. We started about 7.25am. Just like last week, it started to drizzle as we approached Putrajaya exit from ELITE highway, yet the sun was shinning brightly. We stopped at the Dengkil petrol station to wait out the rain. Lo and behold, we met Wana, the female rider we got acquainted with a week ago from the Penang bikers expedition convoy, what a coincidence! She shared that her bike won the 'naked bike' category. We felt happy for her. Wana was on a ride to Melaka with 10 other female riders from Klang Valley. When the rain subsided, we each went on our way.

Pit Stop at Dengkil to shelter from rain

We took an uncharted route from KLIA to check out Palm Tree Resort, Sepang. We were unsure of its location, so we just cruise along. We came across small townships along the way, some of which I used to ply during my rep-ing days. We stopped at Sg Pelek for breakfast. A decade has passed, yet the place remains unchanged except for a few new buildings. At breakfast, we noticed the laid back life they enjoyed and envied their simple and stress-free lifestyle unlike urbanites. We also observed several senior citizens sipping their cuppa while reading the daily papers. It dawn onto us, how the 'china-dolls' could easily fool these folks with their beauty and sweet talking charms. Despite numerous reports in the daily papers yet its quite rampant in small villages / townships. It's truly sad yet a reality. These con ladies woo their way into their simple life, 'suck dry' these innocent folks of their life savings then move on to their next victim without remorse or empathy. Where are their conscience?
Next, we passed Sepang township, weave through some kampong roads to reach Palm Tree Resort which will officially open its doors on 7 July. It has been operating for over a year now. Check out the two pictures I've chosen.

Accommodations on stilts - just like Avillion(initiator)

Having stayed a couple of times in Avilion, Port Dickson; the first resort with the 'accommodation on stilts' concept (in west Malaysia that I'm aware of i.e) apart from the one in Sipadan, to me Palm Tree was just another resort with perhaps added facilities but my mindset - followers!! When I checked out the pricing, well it certainly ain't no followers but in pole position ( motogp term when one is in leading position at start of race). 
For an overnight stay for a bunch of 'teenage-wanna-be' former schoolmates who's main intention is to catch up on lost time & revive our friendship, frankly, this isn't worth its salt BUT apt for newly weds or family outings.Incidentally, the premises also facilitates company events - similarly Avilion & also The Legend water chalet Resort, Lukut).
With the fine weather, we rode 30mins into Port Dickson to check out other resorts, hotels & apartments. Then, we headed to Seremban for brunch. Easy bike parking {where we can view our bike from the restaurant} - Quinn Beef Noodle at Kemayan Square was our choice. After a bowl of beef noodle each, a bowl of beef ball to share and a glass of sugarless soya bean each, we were ready for home.
Just before heading home, we detoured to NKVE Mac Donalds for orange juice, apple pie and ice cream. We thoroughly enjoyed the ride, the sights and the food. Not forgetting, most importantly our companionship!! Oh, what a ride that was....
