JB JB!!!

Jesslyn's a happie girl because she went JB yesterday and shop/eat/see until shiok! Haha~~

1st time there on my own sia...so exciting! Met clement for breakfast at woodlands at 10.45 AM...then we set off from there at 11.30...but hor, by the time we reach JB, it was already 1.30pm!! It was all smooth-sailing until we reached the JB customs...waited like 45 mins?!?!?! Anyway while we very patiently waited for our passports to be choped, there's this stylo old man cutting queue sia...

And he very funny..he walk, "pushed" people away, smile at people, wave at people...then suddenly he's right in front already. Like this also can ah!! Haha. Even there was this guy who so kiasu kept cutting into our queue, also no choice have to let the old man pass. Cannot be so bad to an old man right?? Haha. Singaporeans are nice people...really nice.

When we finally got through the customs, it was already 1.30pm le!! So we abandoned our movie and decided to shop at CitySquare. Didn't know that the shopping centre was so near! Haha. I sua ku can? The first shop I went was FOS! Actually went there because the customs were so warm and so crowded and so suffocating, so I just wanted to go to the 1st air-conditioned place I see! Hehe.

And then at FOS I bougt this Hollister top at RM13.50!! It's so cheap that I can't resist buying it. LoL~ Luckily there was just the right size and the right colour for me! Haha. Because there were 2 versions of this top, 1 is more sheer than the other...so of course I wanted the not-so-sheer one. And the not-so-sheer left 2 pieces, one S and one M. So heng heng I tried the M and it fits perfectly! So off I went to pay.

By the way for UOB cardmembers, got extra 10% discount if you spend RM100 and above! Not bad eh... But of course I didn't spend RM100. Clement was still rambling on and on about how many clothes I have bought but never see me wear. Chey! I will wear it someday...scared what. Hmph~

Anyway, control was the order of the day. When I see something I like, must think whether I need it, whether I will buy it, whether it's really cheap, whether I like it. And if I can't make up my mind, go try lor. After try liao then can confirm buy or not. Haha.

After my FOS shopping I went down to Padini to take a look! And they were having sales all over the place! It's a Malaysia Mega Sale I think...like our Great Singapore Sale. So good lor...and I gave in and bought another blouse at RM20.70. The original price was RM60+ I think. Hehe~ So I had a 70% discount and I think it's definitely a good deal.

Having bought 2 tops at 1 go and with clement giving me that face...I control! Never bought anything...haha. But kept trying on stuffs lor. Dunno why, but it seems like almost every shop also got sale, every shop I also want to go in and see. Haha. Damn hopeless!

In the end we stepped into this shop...Voir I think, and then clement and I bought a pair of jeans each. Haha. He also tempted to shop, because he's been wanting to buy another pair of jeans for the longest time (way back when we went BKK leh!) And I bought a pair of jeans because...I think I need a new pair lor! LoL~ Not a valid reason to spend...but, who cares?

So after the damage's been done, we decided to go Secret Recipe to have a snack. We were going to meet clement's colleagues at 5pm for dinner, so we didn't wanted to eat too full lor. Had an Ice Mocha and clement had Cornish Chicken and Lemon Tea. Since he order spicy Cornish Chicken, in my opnion it tastes like curry chicken pastry sia... But it was nice all the same.

After that we went to shop somemore lor! Clement passed by this VCD shop selling all kinds of anime, so he was so literally sucked into that shop. LoL~ And in that shop got all the pirated DVDs of all movies lor! Not bad eh...they still offer delivery to Singapore. They know what we may kena checked or whatsoever...lol~ So they offer this service lor. Clement wasn't so much interested in the DVDs, I think he was thinking of his PS2 games lor. I warn him not to buy lor...although he was very tempted. Siao ah, later get caught how? Kena house-raid then he know. So bo liao...I told him the best he take aeroplane into Singapore lar...then everything put in lugguage no one will care. Wahaha~

Yah lor...after loitering about, it was time to go meet his colleagues le! One incident happened though...the escalator stopped halfway while we were travelling down. Luckily the escalator was slow and so the sudden stop didn't really cause anyone to fall. But still, I was putting stuffs in my bag and wasn't holding on to the handrail...I jerked towards the front. Luckily I managed to get my balance in time. Now I think it's always important to hold on to the handrail whenever you step onto the escalator..you'll never know what may happen!!

Yup yup...we met clement's colleagues outside Citysquare lor, and then chit-chatted a bit while waiting for the others. There were like, 10 of us in all? But only 3 ladies...me, one of the colleagues' gf, and clement's colleague. She's like, the only girl in the whole gang. Steady boh~

Anyway they arranged for 2 of the colleagues (both Malaysians) to drive us to our dinner destination, so we waited for them outside. The plan was for us to quickly get on their cars lor...but in the end the car that we got on got summoned. Damn irritating lar, because that traffic police gave the driver the summon, but didn't want to hand it to him. He put the paper on the window wiper. And then 5 mins later the paper flew off. LoL~ So the summon gone liao lor..

One of clement's colleagues was too full after eating the Coffee Bean cheese cake lar, so he had all sorts of funny ideas. First he brought everyone to some Country Club Resort. Haha. Which is good because I also needed to use the Ladies mah. LoL~ And since we went there, can shun bian take a look around the country club.

Very nice deshou! The toilets are huge...got some sort of jaccuzzi room inside, a locker area, a shower area, and then there's a pathway that leads directly to the swimming pool from the toilet. Kinda cool! But the swimming pool wasn't very big lar..just big enough to play about...there's 2 pools I think.

And then they have their golf course, a full 18-hole golf course lor. Then clement's colleague, X, had all sort of ideas liao...again! He wanted to get the country club membership, come JB play golf, and then at night eat seafood dinner, after that can go back to the country club hotel room to rest. He plan everything until sui sui liao. Haha! Then he looked into the horizon and commented that the mountains should be chopped off so that evening can see sunset in the horizon. His gf retorted by saying "mountains can just like that chop one meh?" LoL.

Then X very funny sia...he started jioing people to also join the club membership...even telling another colleague that now that he got car, he also must have another C, country club! LoL~ And to that his colleague say, come all the way to JB like very LC leh...LC=Low Class. Then X say even some Singapore clubs also very LC what. So small and no golf one. LoL. He very funny sia...

We hang around the country club for a while more, chatting and taking in the scenary (very nice wor, all green!) and then decided to drive off. Haha. I thought we will be eating diner liao...but no, our malaysian colleagues decided to bring us to their houses for a visit. Confirm must be X's idea sia...he must be eat cheesecake until too full liao. LoL!

So we got to visit 2 typical Malaysian bungalows! Haha. One just moved in, while the other had been staying for quite some time already. But both are very nice, albeit a bit small. But it's okay lar, for the price, and the fact it's "landed property"! It's supposed to be very cheap anyway. It's S$100 000 lor. I think with this kind of money in Singapore cannot even buy a 3-room HDB flat. Hahaha. We passed by those bigger ones though, 3-storey bungalows! And the malaysian colleague was saying 1 of that costs $300 000!! Dunno in Sing dollars or ringgit. It has 6 rooms in that house, each room with its own attached bathroom. Sounds like a luxury can...

And so clement was telling me all his malaysian colleagues are all rich people...lol. I believe so. Because he was saying one of his operators live in a big house too. Haha. And his operators all own cars lor. Clement can't even afford downpayment for 1 car. See how great is the disparity huh?

So after visiting the 2 houses, we finally went to eat seafood! Yay!! It's some very ulu place by the sea...have to drive in pitch darkness before we finally saw the "restaurant" lor. Damn scary lar! There were a few of them, all by the sea...or to say, on top of the sea. Haha. Anyway the malaysians know better, so they brought us to a better 1. I believe the people there must be quite poor...You know, when we parked the car, the kids were scrambling to the driver's door, begging for money. They were really ke lian wor...

Oh well, that aside, we went for seafood! Haha. clement and his fellow engineers were treating for the night...5 of them lor. So good eh! Each gave RM100 lor...haha. I asked clement what if got bring gf how ah...he say nevermind lar...sure very cheap lor...who cares?! I agree also lor! They ordered 3 types of crab (chili, black pepper, steamed), and 2 types of prawns (butter and cereal). Then they ordered 1 fried chili kangkong, 1 salted veggie soup, 1 gong gong (snails!!), 1 plate of man tou (bread) and last but not least, 1 grouper fish lor. The grouper is damn ex lor... RM81 okies. But it's damn good also lar!!

Clement very nice wor...he knows I hate to use fingers while eating...so he did all the de-shelling work. Haha. So I only have to wrestle with the prawns to peel off the shells lor, while he did all the de-shelling for the crabs and gong gong. First time eat snail okie!! I think it tastes like sotong actually. Wahahaha~ He also heaped my plate with veggies, fish and prawns throughout dinner. So I just eat whatever that's served onto my plate lor. Tee-hee~ I'm such a lazy gf. And then clement had chili-crab smelling fingers for the rest of the night!

And then X had another brainchild liao. He told his gf next time get married come here lor. Can eat until full full and shiok shiok. Because normal wedding dinners you don't eat until full one mah, with so little food served. Haha. His gf gave him an incredulous look sia. LoL~ "where got wedding like that one?" she exclaimed. Then she gave her own version of her wedding lor. Which is to ROM in the morning, do the customary, and then buffet lunch. Haha. Simple lor. And X didn't want because he thought it's too westernized. It's very funny lor, watching them bicker over their wedding plans.

For the record, we spent a total of RM372 on dinner for 10 persons. Which is very cheap! Only RM37 per person...which is like S$17? Haha. Eat until shiok and eat until full. And so X gian already, proclaim that everyone should come JB eat seafood every month. Wahaha. Then he say, he will get country club membership, then morning go play golf, afternoon massage/spa, then evening eat seafood dinner. Heavenly man. LoL! His gf suan him and say "morning play golf sure enough or not. Think you play 4 hours still trying to get 1 ball into the hole sia." Haha.

After dinner we proceeded for durian feast! Again it's X's idea liao. Haha. We passed by this durian stall on our way in lor. So he decided that we should all go eat durians for dessert. And off they went! But clement and I don't eat durians mah...so we walked around and looked at the fruits on sale lor. It's really very cheap but upon thinking how are we going to bring back to Singapore, we decided that we rather not buy. Maybe next time if clement drives in, then it will be another matter lar.

So we lingered till 10plus lor, before we finally got back to Singapore. And the malaysian colleague was showing us this area beside the sea in JB, known as Danga Bay, it has a marina and then a theme park with all the rides, and a pasar malam. Opposite is a seafood restaurant which opens 24 hours. Happening sia!! So I told clement maybe 1 day we shall come to this area lor. Looks interesting!!

Finally got home by midnight. And poor clement had to send me home before he got home by cab. And he kept saying "stay my place leh..." and I say "cannot leh..." Haha. I think he also damn sian because we live so far from each other. Not my fault what...haha. I ask him to get his own bachelor pad lor, then I'll stay over. Haha. That's never going to happen in a million years, because he's still far too poor lar! LoL.

And that's our JB day!!
