Halfday in Johor Bahru (M'sia)

It has really been awhile since I last blog..

Am really lazy to update this space & i'm busy with work too..

So anyway, I had cleared my work and have some free time, which explains why I am here..

Took half day on a Wednesday.. Why didn't we go in on weekend?

Well, we are actually in on a Wednesday is because our hairdresser's salon is close for the day during the week.. They wouldn't close their shops on weekend isnt it~ So ya~

The sun was scorching hot in the afternoon.. I could feel that my skin is burning under the heat and i'm dehydrate halfway through the ride.. I need is a cup of WATER!!

First destination was actually our hairdresser salon @ Taman Ehsan Jaya. Boyf parked his bike IN the salon.. 

As you all know, the security in Msia aint really good..

There are cases where cars are parked in carpark of shopping malls & when they get back to the lot, either your car went missing or windows broken.. Moreover it's a bike.. 

We took our hairdresser's car to Jalan Tanjong Puteri 1. 

So this is where we have our dinner:

Would be perfect if boyf is out of this photo. lols.

We have to climb down this 'stairs' which is basically made out of wood planks. You have no idea how scary it is! Was wondering how much weight the wood planks can stand..

Catching fish for dinner~

This is where we had our dinner.. Kampong style~

Did you notice how big the prawn is?! It's freaking big, the photo didnt do justice to it!!

Sunset! Took this halfway thru the dinner.

Our hairdresser's daughter..

Seriously, Why do we look at each other like that? Like a buay song.

Now, say 'Cheese'!!

Glad that I took a half day off from work.. Totally worth it!

Okay! Bye!

Last weekend of 2012

So I spent my last weekend of 2012 on an impromptu trip to Ipoh.

Boyf and I were shopping for some baking stuffs at Tampines Retail Park, where we received a call from his friend, asking if we want to join him on a road trip to Ipoh..

So I was like hmm, why not? If not when will the next time be?

So we set off at Hougang about 5+pm, there's a huge jam at Woodlands Checkpoint, so we decided to try Tuas Checkpoint (Secondlink).. We were so happy that the traffic was kinda smooth at Tuas Checkpoint, but there's actually a jam at Malaysia Checkpoint which took us about 30mins - 40mins to get pass it?

I guessed it's would definitely be better than going by Woodland Checkpoint..

So our first stop is Xin Fong Bak Kut Teh in Kuala Lumpur. This is Superly Awesomely Good! It's not like the usual Bak Kut Teh that we have in Singapore (peppery soup), their soup really have those Chinese Herbs and Spice taste.. You can feel the BOOST from the first sip of the soup!

(Left KL at about 11+pm) We reached Ipoh about 2+am at a Kampong Ribu.. There's a reason why we're there and not the main city.. Anyway, we slept in the car for the night.. while listening to dogs having conversation (barking away nonstop) and hearing the sound of chicken in the morning.. It's one time experience.. And well, by mentioning all those, it just meant that, we all didn't sleep well..

We're up at about 8am? Went in to Ipoh main city for breakfast. Was told that the store(below) was shown on TV programs before.. And of course we had their White Coffee!

After breakfast, we went shopping awhile before we head back to Singapore..
Boyf & Leslie took turn to drive back to Singapore (about 8hrs-9hrs), while I just relac at the back of the car :)

Glad that I asked boyf to join him in this trip, one time experience :)
