Kukup Day Trip~
12th Dec 09
17 riders of all bike range (135cc - 1000cc) rode to Kukup for a short day trip. The journey was memorable as some new riders joined the trip to experience the joy of riding in a convoy.
The day started when riders met at NUS. After a quick briefing, they convoyed towards Tuas Checkpoint. Although the traffic was heavy entering Malaysia, all riders reached Gelang Patah Petrol Station safely.
After the safety briefing by Ash, riders made their way under the hot and blazing sun to Kukup for a tasty and delicious coconut pudding. One of the riders said, "The pudding was God-sent, seeing the weather." (Khalis, 2009)
After the light dessert, they made their way to Tanjong Piai Nature Park for a short walk to the 'Southern Most Tip of Mainland Asia'. The walk around the nature reserve was interesting as monkeys greeted them along the way. A mass photo shoot with their rides concluded the Nature Walk.
Feeling hungry, the riders proceeded to have sumptuous seafood at Tanjong Piai Resort, accompanied by magnificent sea view. Icebreaker games were conducted while waiting for the food and everyone became closely bonded as they shared more about themselves.
After the meal, they proceeeded to Bukit Indah and had A&W for dinner. The trip ended with a debrief and a mass photoshoot. Everyone had an enjoyable time at the end of the day.

BBDC Ride Safe 2009
This year’s BBDC Ride safe was organized on a Saturday morning. Meet up point was in NTU Nanyang house where we were briefed by the BBDC instructors on the event details. Similarly like last year’s event, there will be a mass convoy in the center and skill riding competition to be held in circuit. There will be prizes for the individual performances and group competition events.
The morning started out with a slight drizzle and luckily, the weather lady decide to show some sympathy to the event and shined afterwards. There was a slight stationary accident in NTU, when Saeed fell off during a tight U turn attempt. Nothing major only a broken brake lever and took his rxz instead.
After the convoy to BBDC, we went around and patronize the booths, comprising of several bike displays, TP gadgets, motorcycle accessories, accident statistics and such. The turnout was quite a lot with different riders donning their club’s shirts. After arrival of the Guest of Honour and certificate presentation, the mass convoy was conducted to “flag” off the event.
Every bike was throttle happy and few hundred exhausts were screaming to mark the start of the occasion. After that, there were some displays of skill riding by the instructors including an accident scenario where an instructor flew off his bike. We were given 2-3 rounds of warm up and then proceed for the competition. Unfortunately, 2 riders went off the plank hence, we did not attain the required timings.
The event ended with by several speeches from various individuals on road safety and prize presentation. One of the NTU team won the first place in group event and won themselves airbag jackets. It was quite a long day and the event ended with a goodie bag distribution. It was quite pleasing to find the goodie bags containing gloves, drinks, and a 2GB thumb drive!
Looking forward for next year’s event! Ride Safe Everyone!

Friday Night Kulai
It seems to be unusually addictive to be travelling up the NSHW, 40kms away from Tuas, for a nasi lemak supper in Kulai.. But not apparently so for the NUS and NTU riders. A short chilly ride, to satisfy the 299-cravings. There were little more turn-up this time round totalling to about 10plus people.
After meeting at GP Esso, we made our way to Kulai. Along the way, Nuri saw several things flying off. Upon reaching Kulai exit, we came to realise that Shihong's NSR pillion seat actually flew off, together with his items in it!! The vibrations must have unlock some ledge to cause the incident. Luckily, nothing important were lost, but just a few pieces of paper.
We headed back to SG via first link about 12am. Several riders got the wrong turn and broke the formation up and regrouped in Esso near JB city centre. Before ending the day, several bikes went the motorbike shops in Lorong Bapok (a.k.a Ah Gua Lane), more renown for the number os working she-males there.

Lesson learnt: Ensure that the critical things (i.e. wallet n passport) is always physically with you all the times in JB. You may never know when your seat is going to fail on you.. Hehe.

Dam Good Night
Organized by the NTU riders, Dam Good Nite is an outing that takes riders around the 3 dams in Singapore: Kranji Dam, Yishun Dam, Marina Barrage. Meeting place was at NTU house with major delay die to our miscoordination, some latecomers and misdirections. A total of 20plus bike, reaching 30, came for the event. Upon joining up in NTU house, we set off to Kranji dam through the chilly Neo Tiew road. It was cold, foggy and spooky. Definitely not a ride for the faint of heart.
Upon reaching Kranji, we had an introduction of riders and ice breakers between the NTU and NUS riders. There are also some SP and SIM riders that joined the event. After treating ourselves with free drinks and crackers, we headed off to Yishun dam via Mandai Road. There, we travelled to the newly constructed road, Seletar North Road, to arrive at a desoluted area, where we played some games; plank and pylon simulation, to accumulate points for the prize of the day.
Each of the riders took turns to run the course, with near misses and wobbling bikes. After a hearty event, we took time to indulge in supper at Jalan Kayu. As always, the place is irritatingly crowded, hence the group took awhile to find seats and have their food. The last pit stop was at Marina Barrage. Abit of miscommunication here, as some of the riders got detached from the lead bike and missed the KPE exit. Hence, the lost sheeps took a long (hilariously long) route to Pasir ris and then to Marina Barrage. Amazingly, they managed to reached only 5 minutes abfter our arrival. Interesting to see them not breaking off home..
Marina Barrage is the final destination for prize giving. Prizes include an AGV raincoat, tyre repair kits, landyards, stickers and more. Overall, it was indeed a fun-filled night, despite all the hiccups and delays. Kudos to the NTU riders for organizing such event for the riders.
To sum it up.. It was a Dam Good Nite! Ride Safe Everyone!!
