Down to Johor!



Started my journey with my family and uncle, along with his wife to Johor, Pontian, Benut and Kukup as the main visit and Kampung Parit Tengah as my mom's gathering spot where she met her long-lost friends (30years+ unmet!) Feel great for her ^^

The journey was a great experience for me about the "kampung life". It's impolite for me to say it but yes, as a person from the city, some of the rural areas are real
ly gross and horrifying but these are places where many of the people there call home. They
live, play, grow up over there and experience stuff that we, city folks will have a ghost of a chance to go through.

Along the way, mom and uncle told me stories about when they were young and how they used to live in Pontian. We visited my grandma's house, where my mom and her siblings grew up. The house was (still is now) a shop-lot with a neat house a floor above. Was once used to sell groceries by my grandies but now it's rented out for the tenant to sell furniture. The tenant's family was there and I think it would be impolite to snap pictures with them around. Think about people snapping photos of your house as they pay a visit... How rude and ill-mannered.

Next 4hours, mom's peak moment of the whole visit as she reunited with h
er long-lost friends. While I snapped photos. Here are some.




After the long hours, we departed and eventually reached our hotel which mom had booked earlier. It's one along the sea with magnificent panorama of the sea. Sadly no one is at the sea, not even a person and I don't know why. It's not polluted to me. Maybe it's just not that type of go-for-a-swim seas. I guess it's dangerous as it's an ope
n sea with no
facilities that a tourist sea side should have. The hotel is a budget hotel but I'm satisfied with the service (for the money)



Wonderful sea views righ
t? :D

After bathing and all, we set out for Kukup, a small fishermen's town located at the edge of the state. The village is scary and I mean it x) You'll slide off the edge any second if you trip and fall (into gross mud) It's a good place to visit, but definitely not
recommended to dine there for people with ostraconophobia like me. Pictures say it all!





Obviously when we returned to out hotel around 11pm we were all exhausted and fell straight asleep. Only to wake up to a wonderful serving of breakfast at the balcony of the hotel the next morning. Thank God, for the wonderful trip and weather fo
r
the 2 days. Yeah we set off for other relatives houses in Johor after the meal, and lastly reach for home.

Home sweet home after 3hours at last. And guess what Buddy left for me... Poops and Orange juice >.<

Times Square Trip

Yeah with nothing better to do, I decided to go out with my twin, JinLe the pig to Times square for a day.

Got a pair of 3/4 pants at Romp. And whats weird it fitted perfectly when I tried it in the fitting room.. But not when I changed into it before I went to a relative's dinner that night. Pf...

Means only one thing... tailoring, maybe next week.

Had a movie, Ah Beng movie :o Not bad, haha but I wouldn't say it's the best either!

Then I had this stupid thing that happened to me. Went to an accessory shop to find another suitable necklace to substitute mine. Just to only find out that I overpaid for a black STRING. The shop owner was misleading me so much urgh. But forget it. The string was then forged into 2 bracelets, which I've given one to dear lil piggie. She seems to treasure it like endless tomorrow ^^

Lastly, which is also the main point I'm always at Times Square is the arcade: Taiko no tatsujin!

Yeah didn't really improve much from the last visit as I kinda slacked these weeks. But I've been pumping hard on the song "Kita Saitama 2000". ON THE PC. Managed to pass it on the monitor but not on the machine itself. Same to some songs like Ekiben2000, Work2000 and some more..

Should be ordering a custom drumstick by the end of this month. And lastly..

An early present from the piggie just for me! So sweet of her eh? x) Haven't really received a present for like years. Anyway I got used to not bomb-celebrating my birthday so I really appreciated the gift from her.

P.S: She went lost in the mall without even pickin up the god damned phone for apprx 2hours just to pick the presents. Haha!

When we left, it's like "HEY IT'S THE REUNION NIGHT AND DANG IT'S 5PM!"

Nice day. :)
