Trip down to JB & Spore

& Hey guys.. It has been a while since I last blog.... Looks like grace is having all the fun in down under... Nevertheless, we in malaysia also had our own way of fun.. lol

This trip come about when chuen suddenly mentioned she doesn't mind going down to jb when one of our friends, Christine asked us down. Since my hols are so freaking boring, so I was thinking, why not..Plus I never really been to JB (only did to cross over to Spore) & I still have a lot of Spore dollar from my last trip there which was 2 weeks ago, so I texted chuen and asked if she's interested and serious about it. & that was about 5 days before the day we went, which was last tues.

Being the "smart" me, I went to check on air asia, to see if there's cheap flight.... check check check, then found there's a 80bucks flight to & fro JB.... (haven't considered the tax yet, so didnt know the flight cost us 160bucks)

Skip all the details, so on tue, chuen, suet may and I flew to JB tues morning and met up with Christine... Initially we booked this hotel recommended by Christine called "Rasa Sayang" but when we passed by the hotel, it looks so er.... not so nice looking that we decided to go to this hotel called "Compact"... For 99bucks a night, we got a pretty nice room with a king size bed and an amazing view of the coastway.. that's a good bargain.. lol..

We spent the first day shopping in City Square and playing boggle.. trust me, chuen is super crazy about boggle.. don't find it fascinating.. its just creating and arranging words out of a bunch of cube letters.. but well, just entertain Suet May and chuen by losing all the time... Dinner was at Christine's house and we continue "chuen-boggle-madness" again, but this time, Christine's bro joined us, so it was fun... then we played this primary school game called "nama-negara" which I happened to be good in... So, you guys know who won.. lol

Chuen had a traumatic experience once we got back to the hotel.. Without knowing that the water heating system went crazy, chuen went to shower and wash her face.. & she got so stressed out when the burning water touches her skin.. we gotta wait til 12.30midnight for the water to went to normal again.. lol it was funny to see chuen in shower cap.. Suet may missed the fun coz she was too tired to take her shower...

The next day was mostly at Spore.. we went to Queensway where Suet May bought her sport shoes.. the shoes there are so original and cheap.. i mean, the nike, adidas, are all original of course.. and we went opposite to ikea for meatball lunch which is much more yummy than those in mutiara damansara.. After that, (oh yah I forgot to mention that debbie brought us over to spore) we decided to go to Orchard Rd to do more shopping and eat Gelato... It is so yummy that chuen actually can eat it twice in a day... the next stop is suntec city, cause we wanna see this fountain and have dinner there.. we ate at this restaurant called Surf & Turf and the food there is nicer than chilli.. for once, my food experience in Spore is an 'A'.... After dinner, we went to Clarke Quay, where the famous and posh and happening and stylish ppl like me and chuen and suet may hang out..

The journey back was amazing as we reached the train station about 10 mins past midnight and were waiting for this 170 bus to take us back to JB... Once the bus took us to the spore custom, all the "kiasufied" Msians rushed out and ran into the custom building and to get their passport checked.. I was like, "chuen, suet may, faster faster faster!!!" and they were walking slightly faster but not fast enough, and so we were one of the last ones to leave the building. As soon as we go out to look for our bus, it left us all there and we gotta wait for the next one.. This lousy bus has no corutesy to wait for his passengers... The next bus came.. thru the JB custom.. and the walking-to-the-hotel began.. chuen and suet may were so terrified.. can tell from their faces.. coz JB apparently has the worst crime rate.. so chuen began taking out her money and ic and put it her pocket and I hold onto her passport.. suet may hugging her bag.... and for once, they walked super fast!!! :-)

The next day, nothing much happened.. just makan with christine and chris and they brought us to the airport and bye bye JB and Spore.. the next round, we will definitely stay in Spore.. its safer i guess!!!!
