Johore Trip

Today went to Johor with some friends. Initially, me, diana, diana, waimun, stanley, mingyu, weilong, and joshua were at woodlands interchange. we took 950 to woodlands checkpoint, while waiting for jeffrey to turn up 45 min late...haha..well..despite the heavy rain, we managed to go thru the checkpoint to johor. waimun brought us to some obscure money changer shop, that we could exchange S$100 for 230.10 riggit instead of the usual 230.00 riggit...haha.

Then we walked thru the rain to city square, where we ate at Secret Recipe. The price compared to s'pore is really cheap...the cheese cake is so...good..but the service was so...so.. slow..in the end, we waited for almost an hr before i got my 9.90 riggit chicken set lunch. Waitat also came then.

After that, i managed to catch a show, Barnyard. Initially we thought that movie day (where prices per movie was 6 riggit) was on tuesday, but now they changed it to wed. Haha..so spent 9 riggit on the tickets for another cartoon this year! The pace was slow, the jokes were less funny than the cartoons i watched previously, but the morals behind it were good! (similar to Lion King). Some quotes from the movie:

"A strong man stands up for himself, but a stronger man stands up for others!"

"A good leader is not one who is the strongest nor the most powerful, but is one that cares the most!"

Wow, what a concidence to the theme that I was pondering the previous night!

Anyway, after the show, we shopped about. We splitted up, and were supposed to meet outside mac at 6.15. First group arrived at 6.15...saw no one..and left to find the rest...2nd group came soon after, found no one...and went off again...3rd group came... haah..in the end, the cycle finally ended..we were still full, and no where to go to. ahah..finally JEffrey suggested go to eat dinner, but we order less. So we took cab down to Tebrau food center for dinner.

Waiting outside mac, don't know where to proceed

Finally, we ordered lots of food, chilli prawns, buttered crayfish, sambal stingray, baby kailan, deer meat, dumplings, clams, super large suger cane..haha...super full, but happily we left Johor and come back to Singapore.
