东甲两天一夜逍遥游

东甲住宿游

在返新途中的车上，有些团友建议何不“仙上”几句在这二天的一些旅游片断，作为日后组织类似话动时的一个借鉴。

黄某喜爱胡诌乱扯，有此机会豈可坐失良机，我这就来了 ！

2015年8月24 至 25日这二天，对我们來说是个历史性的突破。大家重新相聚了近三年，住宿性质的活动虽然曾经有过一次，那是在前国家青年领袖训练学院的二天一夜旧地重温旧梦，但也依然与其他性质的聚会一样，都是局限在本島的空间。

多亏梁才与超平的配合，我们终於组成了五女七男，包括梁才、俊娟、丽英、志发，Jessie、文峰、成基、丽梅、励铭、道万、超平和我在内的团队前往柔佛北端的东甲作个短暂的二天一夜消遥游。

衣食住行是出门者必须面对的基本项目，就让我逐项说上几句。

●衣●

众人服饰装扮中，穿著最端庄者首推黄某。他是唯一仍然以一双黑皮鞋代步，原因无它，左脚刻意垫高半寸的鞋底会使他行走时不会那么的性感，婀哪多姿，引人注目。

不顾形象，敢以拐杖代步者，黄某依然还是那僅有的唯一。“浩炼”的本性不改，认为只有自己是最了不起的惟我独尊，暴露无遗。其实，黄某用心良苦，不惜醜化自己形象让大家亲身体验何谓鹤立鸡群、标新立异、有备而來、自知之明的心态。

出外旅游，尤其是短暂的二天一夜的活动，大家都忽略了擕带备用的长裤。多亏老天不作美，让大家体会到这方面的重要性。

在攀登山路前往瀑布区时，老天深受这群不知量力的老安哥与老安娣的壮举感动。在大家豪无意料及预兆下，洒下一场滂沱大雨以资奖励。结果在半山腰受困了近半小时，只好冒着大雨回返假日村。

都成为落湯鸡的团友中，要为其中一位寻找一件适合的长裤者竟然是难如登天，只好勉为其难让他穿上一件借出的短裤解围。

奉劝各位，经一事长一智。在外旅游，见不得人的内裤可以少带不穿。因为你要不要穿它，只有天知地知，你知，别人不知。更不会去追究查证，这不关咱们的屁事。

但是备用的长裤却不可等闲待之。除了上述特殊的意料之外，你尚会遇到拉练失灵，裤裆因难忍热气而爆裂，出现一个可大可小的洞儿来透气以促进血液循㺽 。

你若注意昨天黄某坐着拍像时，双手刻意摆放在裤裆前就可明白其言属实，不是一派胡言乱说，只是不宜道破罢了。

● 食 ●

小镇消费廉宜，享用的食品让人有物超所值的感觉。承蒙梁才超大的面子，在他相识多年的响导老友的安排下，我们品尝到几餐大快朶颐，具有古早味及独具特色的美食佳肴。还有后者热心报效的美味烧烤乳猪，真叫人感激涕零，就差沒有一把眼泪和一把鼻涕在现场表演而已。
（这几句都是典型的假话。）

寄语梁才，有那一天此君（响导老友）來新办事，不妨告知，好让咱们带他去品尝一下摊主敢认第二就没有人敢自称是第一的蒸鱼。

（这几句才是诚意的真心话。）

● 住●

假日营的设备称不上堂皇。但兩人一室的房间，空敞整洁。超大的睡床，有空调、冷热水的淋浴设备也都能达到大家的期望的水平。

不在预料中的惊喜是在我国难得一見的苍蝇，不请自来，爭先恐后的与我们一起分享冰冻的金凤榴櫣。

另一个意料之外的是，竟然有人趁此机会要去体验另一种性质的住宿环境，在东甲的政府医院留宿一晚，间接也使到大伙儿有个机会实地考察位于世外挑园，环境幽雅的当地医院的丰彩。还好有众人的加持，这位团友吉人天相，休息了一晚，能够在我们星期天去探访时及时出院，重新归队与团共乐。

这次的事故，梁才及其友人响导，尽职尽责的表现，理该加以表扬。 建议每人贡献象徵式的$1/=打赏，以资奖励深表谢意。

● 行 ●

难得有此机会一起结伴同游，可以觉察到个别团友在行方面的能力及真正的势力。

1) 名副其实型
真金不怕火，实至名归者，首推黄某。

2) 弱不禁风型
意外的新发现，点到为止以免再造业障。

3) 真才实料型
梁才夫妇是个中的代表。他敢认第二或許只有老吴会不同意要与他争排名第一的头衔。

4)虚有其表者
不止一人，外型看來似乎很行。结果呢，唉！还是积点口德，留点面子给当事人。

5) 比上不足，比下有余者
确有此类高手。不求能光宗耀祖，但愿不会有辱家门，就心满意足。

通过这二天的共聚得到下列的一些观察与各位共享之。若有遗漏，言过于实，请多加补充。

如有冒犯之处，此乃大仙的本性，多学学容忍，再也不可以宣布与他绝交。从此，我走我的独木桥，你行你的阳光道。免得彼此各怀鬼胎，伺机报复。此乃耍人之心要常有，防人之心不可无。若承受不起此种压力，就干脆举白旗投降算了 。

团友中，不务正业，信奉吃喝玩乐信条，修练有道者当推梁才与成基。三五成群，乘搭公共交通前來麻坡二天一夜游，留宿一晚，品尝道地的小食佳肴，对他们是雕虫小技的小儿科 。花费不多却可以随心所欲，享受悠哉闲哉的自助游的乐趣。黄某年少无知，听他们平铺直述的描述，按捺不住那股好奇之心。万分期待不久的将来能在他们的指导陪同下旧地重游一番，体验另一类的惊喜。

相聚在一起，在心情愉快，豪无戒备之心的气氛下，你会很难得见识到大伙儿隐藏在胸中已久的人话。只是人话中，你要自行斟酌以避免被请入瓮，被对方误导而信以为真。

在大家都在讲的人话中，基本上，都可以归纳成下列的数大类:-

1) 真话
2) 假话
3) 骗话
4) 大话
5) 鸟话

虚虚实实，真真假假，要加以辨认确实要有几分功力。

●某人道：他曾在某一年中，进出中央医院高达六十多次。

●有人说：他喜欢玩车，至今已驾过近52辆不同类型的车子。

●有君言：他曾输去超过近一百万元的马股。

●亦有高人认为，我们出外旅游就是某种方式的行善。花钱让自己高兴 （此话当真），消费之际也让对方生计又有着落，避免引起社会不安，家庭不睦，对国家、社会贡献良多，是慈善之举。（有点肉麻，你觉得吗 ？）

通过这种交易方式，好过直接捐钱给机构，避免让居心叵测之人中饱私囊，裨益一些存心不良的伪君子，让他们利用不幸的人与事物來骗人謀财。

●尚有一向深藏不露的“吴鐳郎”，一时不察洩露他深厚的家世财富。印证了人不可貌相，识别数十年，当括目相看。人的虚相与真相之间，是存有多不为人知的现实落差。

听到这些秘闻，你怎可不寄望在轻易就有数百万元彩金的多多博彩上呢?

●更有人利用我行动不便的优势，故献殷勤，怕我失足扑倒，不小心被跘倒。寄望在提供扶助我上下梯级的同时，消除本身的业障，取得福报。

此君心术不正，语无伦次的胡言乱语，说明了在团体中讲假话，说大话，编骗话，送鸟话的江湖高手，无处不在。一來一往，刀光剑影就知道一个个身手不凡，都不是省油的灯。

在这种互动的过程中，你也可以认识发挥到淋灕尽致的相互调侃、揶揄、讥讽、高手过招的风范。或是感受到笑语盈盈，点点花蕾，把手言欢、心领神会、谈笑风生的欢声笑语。那种兴致所至带來的愜意之感，倍觉温馨。

说句大家或会有同感的真心话。能在失去联系近卅年后，大家又再重逢相聚，结伴出游，確实不易。这种机会也不会常有。

大多是退休人士的团友们，不妨敞开心胸，走出家门。外面广阔的世界在等着我们去探索。調整一下心态，放弃过去高高在上，自视过高的思维，你会发觉到与旧识聊谈，胡扯并不缺话题，也不会有压力，它也是一种有趣和另一类的互相学习。

快乐不须花费很多钱，也无需去很远的地方，才会感受到它的存在。通过经验老到团友的协助与分享其心得，区区二、三百元，就可让大家暂时远离尘世的例常杂务，好好享受胡扯乱诌，谈笑风生的生活情趣。

期待接下來一系列的户外郊游或出国旅游会有更多的团友参与，一起共乐。

Tangkak Tour 东甲住宿游

Have a fond Memory

The mini-bus JPT 4480 arrived at the first pick-up point at the Bedok Taxi Stand near the Ya kun outlet punctually at 0800 hrs on Monday, 24 August 2015. Five of us, namely Tan Boon Hong, Jessie Thum, Ng Seng Kee, Tin Toh Wan and Cheng Chew Peng boarded the 18-seater bus and guided the Johor driver, Mr Tivas to pick up more passengers at the Ang Mo Kio MRT Taxi Stand at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8.

On arrival at the Ang Mo Kio pick-up point, all our other friends, namely Koh Lay Eng, Goh Kee Huat, Teo Choon Kiang, Liang Chye, Koh Lee Meng, Lim Lee Boey and Ng Cheow Yang were already there at 0830 hrs. Surprisingly, the boss of our tour agency (Gunung Ledang Resort Sdn Bhd), Mr Tey Chee Yen was also there to receive us.

The bus immediately brought us through the Woodlands Causeway via the PIE. Soon we arrived for our breakfast after the customs clearance. It was a place known as Taman Perangi, 8km away from the Johor Customs Office. We had noodles and hot drinks as our breakfast at the 2-storey Agape Foodcourt at Jalan Jingga.

Without much delay, we proceeded with our journey by bus while My Tey Chee Yen drove his private car leading us all the way.

At 12 noon, we had our sumptuous but economical lunch of Chinese Cuisine at the Restoran Shan Ghai Tang (上海滩酒楼), opposite the Tangkak Post Office. That was a good lunch after a long journey. I presumed that everybody was hungry.

After our lunch, Mr Tey showed us the Station Box KTV in Tangkak where some of us had our hands-on session singing a few songs with the accompanying sounds of applause. Thereafter, we continued with our coffee break at the Nanyang Kopitiam downstairs. It was an enormous fun having chit-chatted happily with no lack of the favorite drinks and tit-bits available there. We bought some durian on our way to the Resort. Some local flavors were chosen to please our palates.

We were quick to check in at the Gunung Ledang Resort at 2.40 pm that afternoon. The weather was fine though not very sunny. The air-conditioned rooms were very spacious and each came with two king-size beds with attached bathroom and toilet. The bathroom was conveniently equipped with heater. The outdoors were very scenic and attractive, especially the Puteri Waterfall at the hilltop 600 steps above the ground. Very kindly, the Village Chief, Mr Ng and the Park Ranger guided us up the hill amidst the tropical rainforest.

The weather remained fine at 3.30 pm when set off for the mountain trail. The view was majestic. However, some of us decided that we called it a miss for the trail as some steps were uneven and tracking could be quite a challenge. Others who remain robust and strong continued the trail until they reached the top. According to them, the waterfall was a thrill and they enjoyed the great fun dipping in the water. A sudden rain came at 3.40 pm to the surprise of all of us. Luckily, there was no lightning or thunder. The siren was let off to remind visitors to take shelter. The ranger guided the visitors downhill in the rain. All were drenched in the rain before they reached the resort downhill.

It was durian hour after the showers and change of clothing before we set off for another sumptuous dinner at the Golden Sand Restaurant （金沙滩酒楼） at 7.00 pm with the boss treating us with a special dish of roasted suckling piglet to go along.

The evening was perfectly fine until I got into the trouble of an unexpected pain I suffered at the waist area. The boss, Mr Tey took no chance and brought me to the Tangkak Hospital at Ledang as all other clinics were already shut at around 8.00 pm. Mr Liang Chye and Mr Mr Tey were kind and helpful. They stayed with me in the Hospital Emergency Unit until I was admitted in the ward there for the necessary treatment needed urgently. I stayed in the Hospital until the next morning when Dr Ammar Bin Abdul Hamid released me at 10.30 am on Tuesday, 25 August 2015. What a great relief after that.

We continued our pleasant journey to Muar for more sightseeing and shopping spree. We stopped every now and then to buy local products. The town is nicknamed "Fabric Town" or "Syurga Kain" in honor of its many cloth shops.  Besides keropok and other tit-bits, we also bought many mooncakes for the coming Mooncake Festival. 

A visit to Dataran Tanjung Emas, after a famous Asam Ikan lunch, was a good place for a group photo near the Straits of Malacca.

While the bus was full of goodies, we realized that we had to head our way to buy Otah before we proceeded home via the Woodlands Causeway. It was really a great fun for a tour we enjoyed as a group. That was the first tour of the 4th Batch Organising Secretaries. We certainly cherished the fond memory of our overnight stay at Gunung Ledang. Special thanks to Liang Chye and Choon Kiang for the recommendation. Till we meet again. Good luck, dear friends.
