train to johor bahru

the train wasn't as vintage as i expected, so yeah quite disappointing :X

it had air-con!

i was thinking it would be those coal-powered ones with steam coming out of the front.

actually idk how it was powered.

 

so yeah we went to our friends hse at 7.

he was still sleeping WTFBBQ!

panicked. spammed his phone. he had like 40+ missed calls at least i think

but to no avail.

taxi-ed to tanjhong pagar train station at like 7.20am, begging the taxi driver to try his best to reach there before 8.

fortunately, the jams were not that bad and we managed to reach there in time.

got new tickets and set off.

waited city square for that person to join us...he called us while we were in the cab and he wldnt have made it in time.

so he took bus or wtv there.

kinda sad cos he's to cover the wasted transport costs.

went shopping...then taxi-ed to jusco permas jaya (i think) to have lunch at a&w!!!

too bad the a&w there isn't that great...they said the ice-cream has not been delivered yet!

so we had ours with honey and butter -.-

i found the root beer diluted oso.

or maybe the reason why i found a&w was so great was cos the last time i had it in sg, i was 5 or so and couldnt tell tasty from nasty.

but impossible cos i've tried it in other countries and they tasted great too.

was led by the nose throughout the trip.

didnt know where i was going cos i had malaysians with me who knew their way around...they'd just tell the cab where to go and i'll be sleeping on the journey.

the cabs are so cramped!

four of us sharing a cab and the three of us at the cab were no where near petite so we were like squeezed uber tightly.

and there was so little leg space that i had to remain in the same position throughout the journeys!

wonder how tall ppl in mly survive the cab rides :X

anw it wasn't all that bad lah, cos the guy i sat beside was kinda cute :D:D

hahahahaha

went to giant and shopped too.

saw this there...

so ridiculous lah! what does "I" stand for? IPHONE! -.-

went to a friend's colleague's place...

saw a baby snake lah omg!

it was right at the gate and even though it is really tiny, we didnt dare to enter.

the owner assured us that small snakes are common and not dangerous but we still waited for it to glide away before entering :D

then saw something interesting that we don't have in sg.

lorry selling tilam!

hahaha. they had this loudspeaker that played a recorded track saying "tilam! tilam!" or smth.

damn cute!

reminds me of karang guni in SG.

had dinner @ kenny rogers.

i love their concept of being able to choose 3 side dishes!

i ordered as if i'm carb-loading for a marathon.

all major carbs! aromatic rice, potato salad, mac and cheese.

damn fat lah!

so yep, that's about it.

four of us hired a car home. $40 sgd. quite okay right?

 and lalala here are my hauls for the day!

spent about $80 sgd for the trip...including food and transport.

quite ok lah. not that big a damage since i was too tired to shop for clothes hahahaha.

 -hazelnut coffee from oldtown is like the best instant coffee ever!

i survived my previous schooling days with it and decided to load up since my sch's starting :(

 

love this preserved fruit thingy! have no idea what it is but it's delicious!

and the fried ikan bilis cracker thingy also! love love love! 

but it tastes sooo damn oily...guilty pleasure :)
