  • J.B

    I had a two day one night trip with bby to J.B!  Well, not so much of a vacation, just wanted to spend some alone time together since he’s leaving on thurs.. Sob.. I’m really sad you know.

    Anyway, with much anticipation already on Sunday, i can’t wait to embark on our trip to J.B!  To think i was so worried we would hop onto the wrong SBS bus, or alight at the wrong station and miss the checkpoints.. Now all i can say is, going to J.B is nearer than going to Tampines lah! 

    I met bby at AMK station first where we took the mrt to Woodlands Station, thereafter bus #950.  Apparently there are 3 buses going into J.B, 950, 160 and 170.  Anywayx, we hopped onto 950 and within 10 min, we were at the woodlands checkpoint.  Alls well, we crossed the Singapore immigration and headed down to board any bus going into Malaysia checkpoint.  Another 5 min on the bus and we’re on the J.B side already lah.  How do i know that?  Because my phone couldn’t receive any more reception plus u can just see the contrast in the infrastructure.  *oops*  So there we were, 20 min altogether from woodlands interchange to jb.  No queue at all lah, just alot of maselamat photos ard.  Once out of JB checkpoint, tons of taxi drivers approached us asking whether we needed a taxi.  But we didn’t! Cause our destination was City Square.  Accor. to CY, just walk straight from the malaysian checkpt and we’ll reach City Square.  No doubt about that, it’s that easy lah, and i didn’t know i was in city square until i saw a dustbin with a city square sticker pasted on it.  How dumb can i get. 

    Ok, so we got to the shopping centre we wanted.  Then we needed to find our accommodation.  What we had in mind was the best hotel in the vicinity.  So we searched for the tallest and most prestigious one which happened to be sth Pacific Hotel and then we approached the counter.  “Do u have any reservations?”, well no because we thought it shouldn’t be a prob looking for a hotel since it’s off-peak season.  “Sorry we’re fully booked.” Stunned!!  So we walked around for almost an hour looking for another good quality hotel but to our disappointment, there were NONE!  By then i was feeling so exhausted and i’m freakin pissed with JB!! SHIT!

    I swear if i had joined amazing race with bby, we would have been out the first round.  (Because of me lah of course) SO.. Cheryl, i totally support u in amazing race! Go for it.

    Anyway, after rackeeing the vicinity, we ended up in a 2 star hotel costing RM138 a night.  J.B Central Hotel.  *if dun hiam is livable one lah*  All i can say is that it was comforting that we were going to be out shopping the whole day.  Haha. 

    So then!  S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G Spree for the both of us.  I’m glad bby bought many stuff cause he’s not much of a shopper, but this time, it was a fruitful experience for him.. Then we bought our pirated dvds, how can we miss those right, and went for a sports massage at a thai massage parlour.  That woman massaged my back so hard i had to ask bby to soh soh it at night lah.  Then at night we went to taman sentosa for nice hawker food at a pretty big hawker centre.

    One thing good about the trip was that when we headed back to Singapore, the hotel we were staying in was just a road away from the checkpt!  Gawd, so we just crossed the road and we have reached the checkpt liao.  Within 20 min we were back in sg again.  It’s damn convenient lah, i’m so surprised!  *I know i’m sua kuu*, and the bus trip just cost $1.30.  Can use EZ-link card lah.  When i was at the SG checkpt, i was so scared they would stop me because of my pirated dvds lah!!  My heart beat so fast ya know.  But nth happened, i think they close one eye lah, which is good!!

    Can’t wait to go J.B again shopping, cheap cheap cheap!

    That’s it for now!! So sleepy liao..

    Night night everybody~
