Segamat Durian Trip

How are you feeling today?

Uncle handsome, I shoot you


This must certainly be the most difficult trip to get together. Timing was quite bad for most and despite trying all avenues, I only could get 3 cars in total to venture up for Segamat Durians. However, it was rare to have Francis, JS and their little boy zhiyu (knowledge of the whole universe) to join me. Alan, Ry and TC, J and friend also came along.

We were a little late to set out from my house and got held up in a little jam at the checkpoint. Nothing too serious. Now the rest know why I usually asked to go over by 5.30am. We drove straight all the way from the checkpoint to the NSH, and made a rest stop at the Machap R&R. There, we had to wait for TC's car to arrive, which was like an hour.

We had some good breakfast and spent time catching up with each other. It had been some time since I met my good friends and it was nice for them to join me for this trip.

Country road


Followed by a slow poke red car


When TC finally arrived, we took off and reached the farm in about 1.5 hours. I took the advice of the GPS, and branched off from NSH at Yong Peng and took the small roads. Road was fairly clear and we made good speed. Upon arriving at the POI, I didn't see any building or house that screamed "durain farm". So we were like quite lost. We drove further down the road but that later took us away from all the nice durian trees and into a palm plantation. I tried calling mr gan but his phone was not in service. Backtracking, we came upon a clearing and saw people waving at us. That was it. We were finally there.

Yes, this is the road

Durian mobil


Tapoed for Singapore


The helpers quickly brought out baskets upon baskets of durians for us to eat. We had 101, 13, 18, local, MSW. The others, were not available yet. Durian was fresh and delicious although the many flies there made eating quite difficult. The children were squeamish about the flies landing on their durians and didn't eat much. We also took some pictures under the durian tree, until the workers told us that there is danger of the durians dropping on us.

After having our fill, some of us tapaoed durians back for friends. To my surprise, my little Pica was able to load 25kgs of durians. But my car now smelled durianlicious.

Do you sell condoms?

Uncle, how come the water don't have chlorine?

Wah, this Cherry QQ very Kiasu! Whole car filled with lew lians


Their internet broke down


After that, I took them to Gunung Ledang for a look see. But the weather started to rain and we didn't enjoy it much. ZY just had a couple minutes of dipping into the water and that was it. From there, it was shopping. But I mistakenly took the small roads which was slow and congested at many areas. I should have gone via the expressway instead. But we had a good dinner and then it was back to Singapore for further dispatches of durians to friends.

I like jie jie stripey


This is better than MSW durian. Can I have some more?
