Suddenly, I am mad about going overseas. Lol.
Went into JB with Minyan and Mingpo on Saturday. Yinghao joined us in the afternoon.
The 3 of us met up at Kranji MRT Station at around 10.30am. Mingpo and I was on the same train, as he was just behind me when I got out of the station. Then the lady appeared, and we took 170 in.
I was thinking, if a scenario that I had thought of happened that day, it would be an interesting day. Lol. But since whatever I think of usually won’t happen, the day’s safe.
Aw… lol! (What’s the scenario? DON’T TELL U…)
Clearing SG customs was as usual, a breeze. Going to JB customs was as usual, stuck in a jam. At least the new CIQ’s big. The CIQ’s grown big. The white card’s has become smaller in size. lol…
And then, we were in JB! Since they had not been to Tebrau City, I suggested that place. Again. Lol.
And so, it’s my third time there, and my first time to go there by taxi. The other 2 times were by car. We went to City Square to change some money, and set off for Tebrau City.
Ok, I think 11am is not a very good time to enter JB for lunch. The best time is still to meet up at 10am at Kranji, as always.
Anyway, we reached Tebrau like 3 hungry ghosts. We went for food at Stone Grill (wtd… my THIRD time… but their first.. so.. ok lor). 3 people. 5 sets.
WOW.
The key thing was, we finished everything.
Then we ended up jalan jalan around the shopping mall. I got nothing to buy… so.. just jalan jalan around. Mingpo bought a bib (for himself… no… for his nephew) from Toys “R” Us.
Then we got tired from walking, and we ended up at this chinese herbal soup place for a rest while waiting for Yinghao to appear.
While I was writing this, I remembered the first time I ended up at Tebrau City with Zhixiang, Evelyn and gang, we did thought of going for the desserts, but I think in the end, we gave it a miss. I forgot the reason, but I think it had to be due to dinner time. Lol…
Well, each of us ordered a dessert. Someone ordered 3 eggs. I ate 1. No prize for guessing who ate TWO…
And then, Yinghao appeared, after a long wait. Then we went for another short round of walking around, and then set off for dinner, since there’s really nothing much at Tebrau City.
And we managed to get lost once again while searching for a taxi…. wahahaa!!! I did not know why…. but it’s funny laaa… and we ended up 自æ‹-ing at the carpark…. Diaoz… lol…
I forgot the seafood place that I have gone to previously (although I remembered 1, at Jalan Ibrahim Sultan), near Taman Sentosa. And so, I asked the cab driver. He said, for seafood, go to Taman Sri Tebrau…
And wtd… That place’s 大马花囅
Ok la.. at least I know where’s å¤§é©¬èŠ±å› now. Lol. It’s so near to Taman Sentosa anyway.
On a side note, I somewhat remembered the route to the seafood place that I had gone to, with Zhixiang and gang. I remembered something about “turning left on seeing the public bank along Taman Sentosa”… I remembered this when the taxi drove past the bank. Lol…
The 3 of us were so full from lunch and dessert, that I did not dare to order much food. Yinghao was the hungry ghost for that round. We had the following:
- 麦片虾
- å«åŒ–鸡
- 马æ¥é£Žå…‰
- è’™å¤è±†è…
- 肉骨茶
Seriously, the things there were not cheap, and not all’s nice either.
After that, we had another è‡ªæ‹ session. Heh… then we somehow started the search-for-a-taxi thingy once more…. But this time, we were more lucky. A taxi came to us, instead of us searching for one.
And then, back to City Square. Jalan jalan around. As usual I still had nothing to buy. Minyan bought a blue blue bag for.. er… a very low price. Lol. Mingpo bought a pair of sneakers for a … quite a low price. I got nothing. Yinghao got nothing too. Ok, rephrase: we got nothing that significant. Lol!
Then it’s tidbits shopping time. Strange la, but I was the one buying most of the food. Strange lor, they did not seem to like to buy those food lor. Hmmm…
Actually I don’t either. Wahaha.. I just felt like buying something back.
Saw Zhixuan at FOS. Wahhaa… he was with a group of friends.
Then, the last stop was Secret Recipe. Somehow, the lady still managed to finish 1 bowl of Tom Yam Noodles. Yinghao had a milkshake. Mingpo and I had cakes. Excluding Yinghao, we all bought cakes back too.
And then it’s time to go back home. Wahaha… and I saw that nua 1 on the bus! That Wu ar Wu Jian Liang…
And this time, I was quite suay, to be stopped almost the whole journey back to SG.
- At JB CIQ, I got stopped for not showing my passport (wtd)…
- At SG CIQ, I got stopped by the machine, due to the sensor detecting 2 persons in the box, due to my plastic bags (wtd)…
- After the scanner, I got stopped by the officer for a random check (wtd)…
Let them check all they want lor. Wahhaha!
We tried to è‡ªæ‹ somemore, even on the bus. Diaoz… wahaa..
Well well, it was a good trip, I must say! Wahhaa!!!
