Weekend Drive, MALAYSIA

September 13, 2008

We decided to take a drive just to kill the time during this 13th day of the fasting month. It was also an opportunity to test my Garmin Nuvi portable GPS outside KL.

We hit the north-south highway soon after we got dressed up. Port Dickson (PD) was our first destination. It took us about one and a half hour of leisurely drive before we reached Mohd. Noor’s house in Telok Kemang. From his house we went to look at a few apartments for sale. The prices of apartments in PD had dropped by more than 50% that we thought it was a good time to shop around. At least we would have a place to go during weekends and holidays. However, most of the apartments were in deplorable conditions.

We checked out several units at PD Perdana condo before moving to another site. Both failed to impress. Then we drove around checking out the beach. We chanced upon a place called Bougainvilla Resort that I fell in love at first sight. We straight away booked for a 3-day 2-night stay for the upcoming Deepavali holidays. The place is a bit rustic but fronts a beautiful Sri Purnama Beach. Mohd Noor told me that it is a favourite fishing spot. I could picture a perfect spot to catch the sunset.

From PD, we took the coastal road via Lukut to Sepang. The portable GPS guided us nicely to Kota Warisan. We went to check on a tenant there.

Nilai 3

From Sepang, we drove to Nilai 3 for some Hari Raya shopping. There were not that many shoppers around. Then we drove to Staffield Golf Club for breaking the fast. It was almost 9pm when we arrived home.
