5月3日星期六，早上7点从家里出发，直奔巴生港。Departed by 7 am.

| 晨光 |
在永平小镇吃了早餐后，原本打算在附近的充电站充电，但是网络有点不给力，无法操作，只好转移阵地。
Brief stop at Yong Peng for Brunch. The Jom Charger Charging station at Yong Peng could not be activated using our app!

一路在南北高速公路前驱，并一路寻找附近的充电站。
误打误撞的找到了坐落于Tangkak Pitstop 的充电站。开始时EVCharger的应用程式有些问题 （当时也有另外一位新加坡游客，在琢磨着如何操作该充电站的应用程式），但最终突破障碍，成功运用该充电站的应用程式，把电动车的电力充满 （费时30分钟)。那半个小时，我们在附近的商店逛逛，品尝燕窝，购卖当地的蜂蜜。
Fortunately, we managed to locate a Charging Station at Tangkak (Pitstop @ Tangkak) - which offers fast charging facility. What a relief!
原本预定游螃蟹岛，但因为时间急促，只好作罢，改为在巴生港吃当地驰名的肉骨茶。然后再续程往瓜拉雪兰莪去（夜游萤火虫及蓝眼泪）。
Too rush for Pulau Ketam trip - decided to forego the trip.
Stopover at Port Klang for Bak Kut Teh.

抵达瓜拉雪兰莪的旅店时，已是傍晚六点。办好住店手续后，便匆匆忙忙驾车去附近的码头报到，萤火虫及蓝眼泪之游，在7点15分才出发。在码头闲逛并拍了些照片。
码头随简陋，但却不时渗透出浓厚的淳朴乡味。
Managed to join the boat tour at 7.15pm for firefly and blue tear...

| 渔村 |
萤火虫只动也不动的滞留在河边的树丛内，犹如圣诞树上的点缀，闪闪发光。因为它们没有移动或翩翩起舞，缺少了冲击美感，我有些失望。
蓝眼泪观赏地，似乎处于雪兰莪河与马六甲海峡的交界处。也只能在海面上摇动长筛时，才能在筛网里看到那一闪一闪亮晶晶的蓝光。也就是说，别对观赏蓝光寄于太高的期望，它并非是一大片蓝光浮现在水面上。
Both firefly and Blue tear were a bit of a let down.... not what I expected. (I imagined seeing fireflies floating around in the air; but instead, they just stayed stationery among the trees. The blue tears were not as grand as what I had anticipated).

旅游完毕，我们便到附近的鱼人家餐馆吃晚餐。3人品尝了鱼，虾，豆腐，小菜 - 也只花了RM178（蛮实蕙）。

因为恐怕电动车的电力不够，隔天早上，我便驾车去附近的充电站充电。 但是该充电站的充电速度有点慢， 也只能充上些许电力便打道回府，往酒店赶退房手续去了。充电半个小时，来回车程花一个小时。感觉上所充的电都用在来回的路上，有点划不来。

下一个目的地是适耕庄。离开瓜拉雪兰莪之前，我们驾车到附近的阿心虾炸小吃档口吃当地的美食。虾饼，咖喱面，及饮料都蛮可口。
 |
| 这么不起眼的档口，生意还蛮不错。 |
 |
| 3位女士+1位男生负责整个档口的生意 |
抵达适耕庄时，我们先往椰子园林游玩。在哪里喝椰汁。
Drive to Sekinchan - first stop - Coconut Farm.
 |
| 几家卖椰子果汁的小贩。。。再向前走，有几个不起眼的打卡装饰。 |
到达酒店时，电力只有足以应付178公里的电力。根据网络上的信息，最接近的充电站离适耕庄有30分钟左右（是慢充电站）。后来酒店前台的工作人员告诉我离酒店4-5 分钟车程有有个充电站。驾车去哪儿时，发现是慢性充电站，不过也没得选择，需充电顶住接下来的行程。开始启动JomCharger 的运用程式时也启动不了。后来透过附近旅游酒店的前台小姐的帮助下，连接上酒店的WIFI网络，才能成功启动充电。
过后我们驱车往附近的热浪海滩去。附近就有许愿树。
Next stop (after charging our car for about 1 hour, slow charger) - Pantai Redang and Wishing tree nearby,

然后再往阿嫲的家。Next stop - Ah Mah's House.
 |
| 阿嫲的家是家摆卖60年代物品的杂货店。 |
过后便去餐馆吃晚餐。
Went back to our hotel @ Padi Sentral after dinner...
我们住的酒店 Padi Sentral，本身就是一个打卡点。
 |
| 不过其外观有点像是间被遗弃的“鬼屋” |
它的卖点就是能从住房内近距离欣赏稻田美景。

| 从住房的窗口向外看。。。 |
隔天早上，我们在附近的小吃店铺吃了早餐，并在临近的菜市场买了鸡蛋与香料。然后再驾车往附近的鱼商购卖鱼回家。The next day, breakfast at a local food stall near the market.
 |
| 早餐 |
Bought a fish from local fishery... which supposedly sell fresh fish... (but my wife begs to differ!)
因为电车的电力，无法撑到麻坡（240公里），所以只能到南下最靠谱及充电速度快的充电站去。根据网络上的推荐，DC Handal 充电站最靠谱；于是便驱车到哪里去。果然不负所望，成功充电到400公里的路程 （花了大概45分钟左右）。
Charged our car at DC Handal - to 90% (enough to drive all the way back to Singapore without stopping).

| 充电 |
充完电后，便续程往麻坡去。在哪里买了乌达(OTAK)，然后去吃迟来的午餐 （当时已经是下午4点多了）。
Stopped over at Muar to buy Otak-otak and took late lunch cum early dinner...
吃完午餐后，便驱车南下会新加坡去。半途在休息站充电一会儿。
回到老家时，已经是晚上9.30了。Finally reached home around 9.30pm. Took about 30 minutes to clear both immigration counter in Johor /Singapore (2nd link).
适耕庄，名杨四海的是那一片绿油油的稻田，吸引力不少游客到此打卡。一眼望去，那目无边际的稻田，四面八方的围绕着我们，着实带有疗伤，令人心平气和的作用。
多数游客到瓜拉雪兰莪旅游，都是奔着天空之镜来。可惜我们在哪里逗留时的前后四天，因为水位不利于呈现天空之境的现象，没有团出发。萤火虫与蓝眼泪的旅游景点，虽然吸引力不大，但是若要体会一下实况，也无伤大雅。
Driving to Malaysia with our new EV (BYD M6) is truly a nerve wrecking experience!
Driving up to Kulai is still fairly safe (we had tried it once in Jan), as our fully charged EV has driving range of slightly over 500km. This time round, I challenge myself to days trip up to Sekinchan (about 1 hour drive away from Kuala Lumpur). (about 460km from Singapore).
My frustration with EV charging in Malaysia is:
1. there are quite a number of companies offering EV charging services - but alas, each carries its own app.
2. The app does not run well - hence, unable to charge - e.g. I was able to lower the barrier at the charging bay in Yong Peng, but unable to get the app to initiate/activate charging! Have to drive further up north along the highway to look for alternative charging station.
3. Fortunate for us, we were able to locate a charging station at Pitstop @ Tangkok (which offer fast charging facilities). However, we had some difficulties in registering our account with the EV charger app initially - this was "accidentally" overcome and we managed to fast charge our car to full capacity in 30 min or so.
4. Small villages eg Kuala Selangor and Sekinchan do not have EV Charging station. The 2 slow chargers located in Sekinchan were probably just installed recently, as they are not reflected in the apps /google map.
Our journey covered the following:
Singapore to Yong Peng (for breakfast) - then onward to Pulau Ketam /Port Klang (had to forego Pulau Ketam because of time constraint, but managed to eat Bak Kut Teh in Port Klang) -> Kuala Selangor (for firefly and blue tear night tour). Stay overnight at Kuala Selangor, then drive up to Sekinchan. Stay overnight at Sekinchan, the drove back to Singapore (with stop over at Muar for late lunch, and buy Otak-Otak).
