Trip to Johor

It was one of the nicest weekend I had last week... had a tiring yet fun weekend with my friends in SingTel on last Saturday and also a good gathering with my Sec sch buddies on Sunday...

Together with Xiao Mei, Zhutou, Schnappi, Mimo, XiaoXia, SiJia, Alex (SiJia's Hubby), Peiching, Vincent and Chai Hwee.. we planned to have a trip down to Johor for a nice outing and then a seafood dinner at 大马花园... Initially there were many other different plans like prawn fishing... shopping.. etc... and all of us agreed to gather at Kranji MRT to take a bus down to the causeway checkpoint..
So in the morning, I went down to tampines to meet XiaoMei to take bus.. i think is 969 bah... down to Yishun MRT... she asked vincent and know that it is a faster way from east to north... even faster than taking train... however.. i miscalculated the timing and the bus driver drove like F1.. (he must have gone to watch F1 race in Sep this year)... fast till only takes 15 mins to reach tamp... so I reached tamp at 8:30am instead of 9am... so I went to had a light breakfast myself before coming out to meet XiaoMei...
Finally she reached... fully exhausted and straight away fall asleep when we sat down... after that then realise that she went clubbing last night and only slept for a few hours... so i didnt bother her too much.. but can know that she wasnt really quite comfortable with such a tight seats... but she still slpt the whole trip... for me... as usual lor.. although tired but i kept myself awake so that we both will not miss the stops and late for the gathering...
And so.. our journey starts....

We boarded the bus 170 right outside the MRT station... all of us managed to get a seats and we head towards the checkpoints... Over at the checkpoint, that was my first time seeing such an "advance" queue... it was at the most left corner of the entry... just scan the passport and imprint the fingerprints... then we can cross the Singapore checkpoints!~ lolx.. that was super fast...

Then we went down to the bus stops... and while waiting for the bus to come again... Abi suggested to take one of her artistic pictures:


And indeed the result came out quite excellent... however.. we didnt manage to board the bus.. and we all agreed to walk over the bridge to the Malaysia checkpoint... we walked for about 10-20 mins and we reached one of our most agonising part of our journey...




It was damn crowded and there was not much vandilation or any order of the queue inside the checkpoint... wao lao.. many ppl tried to squeeze through us and cut our queue... and our dear Zhutou, who is an typical Aries... could not stand it and keep on complaining and complaining... hehe.. after 1 hour of suffering.. all of us went thru the custom with a very sticky body...

And Zhutou getting high already... start to take pictures with everyone again:


Once we passby the custom... we followed peiching and vincent along the street and met up with Chai Hwee... who had already cross the border with so much ease (he's a malaysian).. no wonder lah... hahah... and we settled our lunch over at a roasted store:


After the lunch... we separated into 3 different cabs (RM18 each) to go to the newly opened Jusco, which is one of the largest shopping complex in Johor... since we did not planned to do any shopping there... there is left only movie-ing or kbox-ing in Jusco.. and we struggled alot if we should watch movie or sing kbox... and as usual.. we took photos again...

Outside the cinema

Outside the RedBox (Kbox)


In the end.. we chosen the kbox as the movie quite hard to choose coz we dont have any movie that we can watch together... see how big is the 11 person KTV room.. and there is a toilet inside the room!~ Even best is the price is only RM30++ for each person... but we requested Chai Hwee to apply for their membership as they served members only... super ridiculous lor... force ppl to sign for their membership...

Our KTV session ended at about 7pm.. at that point of time.. my throat already sore le lor... 2nd KTV session of the week... haha.. then mimo say she wanted to buy some "special" sweets" and zhutou went to shop for her sport shoes... when on the way to the supermart.... xiaomei say she smell her fav food.. which is the 茶叶蛋.. and i tried to smell.. and really got wor.. so i followed her to checkout which store selling it... and finally I saw that shop straight ahead of us selling.. and she was quite happy to be able to eat it... I also bought one for myself.. and it has been a very long time since i last eat the 茶叶蛋 already...

After mimo and zhutou done with their shopping... although none of them managed to buy what they want... (-_-) we went out to catch another 3 cabs down to our last destination... 大马花园

I think we ordered quite alot of seafoods... got 麦片crayfish... stingray... chilli sotong... chilli crabs.. kang kong... garlic xiao mai... it was a sumptous seafood dinner!~ At this point of time.. our dear xiao mei looked super damn shag already... not enough sleep plus out for one whole day le... only got one words to discribe her... "Cui" liao... =X

And we came back to Singapore at about 10-11 plus already... i also "cui" already.. so me.. xiaomei.. zhutou and schnappi walked out to take a cab instead... and yah!~ I dropped my ATM card in the cab... luckily schnappi saw it and pass it to Xiaomei... ^_^ lucky me!~
