What a disaster when we can't go out to Tuas Checkpoint, so we need to turn back to Woodlands before dark. We didn't bring Singapore dollars, only 3 buns and 2 bottle of water.

Tragedi di Singapore, tak boleh berkayuh keluar Tuas checkpoint dan terpaksa patah balik ke Woodlands checkpoint. Kami tak tukar duit ke Singapore dollar dan hanya berbekalkan 3 bungkus roti dan dua botol air untuk dikongsi bertiga.


Location at Muar, Johor. Record a timeline for our Survival Tour video. We cycle, no vehicles follow, no marshall, no filming crew, and no photographer followed us.

Lokasi di Muar, Johor. Rakam timeline untuk video Survival Tour kami. Kami kayuh sendiri, kami pikul beban sendiri, kami tangkap gambar sendiri, dan kami rakam video kami sendiri.

Reaching Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

Sudah hampir sampai ke Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).


Our next stop, Port Dickson! What a beautiful beach!

Destinasi seterusnya, pantai Port Dickson! Pantai dan pemandangan yang cantik!







After battling with hotness of sun and strong wind, we manage to arrive here at Putrajaya. According to plan, we want to sleep here but then we've decided to cycle a bit more to Kuala Lumpur and take a bus at Pudu to Ipoh, Perak. We've used the route from Ipoh to Shah Alam so we decided not to repeat it again.

Setelah berjuang dengan kepanasan dan angin yang kuat akhirnya kami tiba di Putrajaya. Mengikut plan asal kami ingin berehat saja disini, tapi tukar untuk kayuh hingga ke Kuala Lumpur dan mengambil bas terus ke Ipoh, Perak. Perjalanan dari Ipoh ke Shah Alam sudah kami buat sebelum ini dan kami tak berniat untuk mengulanginya lagi.





Soon arriving at Ipoh, we've had our first night at Ooi & Comrades Mansion, thanks to Amirul Asyraf and comrades who let us camp in front of their yard. The next day we take a walk around town and we found a mural street which the locals didn't even know these kind of places existed!

Sampai di Ipoh, kami bermalam di Ooi & Comrades Mansion, jutaan terima kasih kerana beri kami pacak khemah di halaman mereka terutamanya kepada Amirul Asyraf dan sahabat beliau. Keesokan harinya, kami jalan-jalan melihat bandar Ipoh. Banyak tempat menarik yang kami jumpa disini, plus ada juga orang-orang tempatan yang tak tahu tempat-tempat seperti ini wujud! Mural street Ipoh, Perak.




J.W.W Birch Memorial Park, if you watch carefully you'll see there one photo missing out. Theres a mitos said that all the characters were out from it but that one couldn't find his way home before 12am so thats why the photo are missing out but after we've done some survey from the locals, they said it was Rasulullah saw photo but during late 80's Majlis Agama Islam Perak brush it off because it'll be disgraceful to picture Rasulullah saw.

J.W.W Birch Memorial Park, jika anda lihat betul-betul akan kelihatan satu kelibat gambar orang hilang dari lukisan di dinding menara ini. Gambar-gambar tersebut merupakan 40 tokoh dunia. Mitos mengatakan keseluruh gambar ini keluar tetapi sebelum 12am satu gambar ini hilang jalan pulang dan tak sempat pulang, tapi setelah diselidiki oleh beberapa penduduk setempat barulah kami tahu gambar yang hilang itu adalah Rasulullah saw dimana Majlis Agama Islam telah memadamkan gambar tersebut pada penghujung tahun 80an.



Stop awhile, photo and video session.

Berhenti sebentar, tangkap gambar dan merakam video.


Usually while we're travelling, there always a beautiful spot which most travelers are unaware. In our case, we accidently took this one small route which took us to these beautiful spot where we could see a sunset. During this time, these moment would make us forget awhile our tiredness and hotness of sun while riding and enjoy the moment.

Biasanya semasa mengembara, akan selalu ada spot cantik yang tersembunyi yang most traveler tak jumpa or tak perasan, but, secara tidak sengaja kami masuk satu lorong dan jumpa spot ni, spot bergambar time sunset yang cantik gila. terbaik! Actually time travel moment macam ni yang buat kita lupa sekejap kepenatan, kebaraian, kelaparan, kepanasan dan bermacam-macam lagi.



Were a dengue suspect, had a bad fever, bad day, slow ride but thanks to Zulkifli Hafiz for letting us stay for 3 days at his home, bring me to the nearest clinic and the hospitality given to us, really appreciate it!.

Demam panas, cirit birit, suspek denggi. Terima kasih kepada Zulkifli Hafiz sekeluarga kerana beri kami tempat tinggal selama 3 hari di rumah mereka, bawa saya ke klinik kerajaan berdekatan dan layanan kelas pertama yang diberikan, sangat-sangat bersyukur. Sampai ketemu lagi sahabat di sungai petani, kedah.

"Who live sees, Who travel sees better"
