| The t-shirt especially made for this journey! |
On the first day, we rode from Kuching to Bintulu and spend a night there. We start riding at 6 a.m and ended up in Bintulu at around 7 p.m the same day. We stopped at Serian for fuel and then somewhere passing Betong for another fuel filling and then at Selangau for another fueling and the final fuel station would be at Petronas Tatau before spending the night at Bintulu.
Mastama Inn was the name of the place that we stayed that night before continuing our ride from Bintulu to Limbang passing Brunei Darussalam.

| MASTAMA Inn |
Mastama Inn, room for 3 persons with 3 separate single beds should only cost about RM65 or somewhere around USD20. On our way back to Kuching from Sipitang, Sabah we also stayed in the same inn when we stop at Bintulu.

| excessive oil spill, what a waste! |
On our way to Bintulu, Pak Din is having minor problem with his Kawasaki KLX150. His bike is having problem to start once we took a break at an R & R near Saratok. We have to waste about an hour just to get the bike fixed and the problem was engine oil overload. According to Pak Din, he was using a high end engine oil as suggested by a seller that he met somewhere in Kuching city. Well, accidentally Pak Din poured more that the suggested capacity for the KLX150 and thanks God this does not stop our journey.
The lesson learn was to check your engine oil capacity before pouring any oil even though it is the best oil in the world. Even though you are going for a really long journey, pouring more than the engine can take will never help in making your engine last longer, just stick to the numbers given and that's it. And if you need to change your engine oil, just change the whole oil, not just simply by adding on the one in the bottle that you carry for safety measures.
That was day 1 and there will NO turning back!
