Short JB Trip (October 2022) - Day 2 of 2

At midnight, we ended the Fight School movie and we all headed out towards KSL for our Thai massage. Reached the place at 12:30am and the massage started. Shiok. The therapist cracked so many bones and I felt so shiok!!!

Then nearing to 2am, the massage finished and we all headed back, seeing lightning in the skies. Stopped by a 24-hour mama shop to buy some food but all got scared by a flying cockroach in the store. Then we hurriedly headed back upstairs.

I showered first because the cockroach landed on my face. Water was shit cold as the heater wasn't working. But okay better than SAF can already. Then joined them for the 3rd movie, some mobster show. We all started drinking only at 4am. By this time, I ate a packet of spicy chips already.

The 3rd bottle of soju made me feel like puking because of the wrong mixture in my stomach. I actually went into my room and puked from our 25th level down to first floor. LMAO. Puked twice even. Felt better after that but really couldn't drink anymore.

Drifted in and out of sleep in all kinds of position for about 4 hours while the rest just kept chatting in the living room. Sherianne also toh quite early. I was so disappointed in myself. Really should have started drinking abit earlier and shouldn't have went massage with soju swirling around in my stomach.

Played some phone games in the morning while everyone was still sleeping because I just couldn't sleep. Then woke everyone up at 11am because 12pm need to checkout already. Packed everything and realised we still have 6 bottles of soju.

Went downstairs at 12pm and booked Grab to KSL to eat lunch. Or breakfast. We settled food at this porridge and youtiao stall. Overpriced shit. But okay couldn't care less with this crazy lack of sleep. Then Jaaron suddenly said he has to go back early for a dinner with his girlfriend's family.

So we collectively decided to just head home at 1pm. While we waited for Grab, we bought Starbucks drinks. At the same time, I approached a random group of youngsters checking in to the KSL hotel and gave them all 6 bottles of soju for free. 

Then Grabbed to the customs. Cleared customs within the hour because it is still rather early. But hell, when it was our turn, we looked behind and estimated the queue to be at least 2 hours long. Lucky close shave right there. Bought 250RM and there was 30RM leftover. Excluding the drinks payment and the Grab payments.

When we reached Kranji MRT, Jaaron was the first to secure a cab home. Sheri, Wei Liang and me waited with Kityee for her Grab. Joked and chatted till her cab came. Then 3 of us took train back home. I reached home at 4pm. Great weekend!!!

Short JB Trip (October 2022) - Day 1 of 2

Woke up at 6am on the dot. Washed up and prepared to leave house anytime. Saw the message that some of them are gonna be late so I just chilled at home until 6:30am. Then left house and reached Kranji MRT at 7am to see only Wei Liang on time. End up Kityee and Sherianne reached at 7:30am.

Jaaron even better, reached Woodlands checkpoint at 8:15am. 4 of us travelled there to meet him. Because of this late shit, we spent 3 more hours at the custom queuing. If they had stuck to my original timing of 6:30am, we would have been in Malaysia long ago.

We only cleared JB's side at 11:30am. We headed right to JB Sentral to settle lunch. We ended up choosing some alas restaurant not too far from the checkpoint. Shit was expensive but the food was good. Ate until super full and sat until legs felt strong again!!!

Then 5 of us Grabbed out to the airbnb accommodations straight. There were some slight delays with the receiving of keys because the unit is not ready yet for us to take over. So we chilled at the lounge for about an hour. Me and Jaaron just spammed Mobile Legends.

Then it was ready at 3pm and we headed up. The view was amazing. But the house feels even better. We settled in and don't know why they decided to watch Mr Bean's Holiday movie. Super random but we did eventually finish the entire movie.

Then we headed out for dinner. Sheri wanted to go Sephora at this Tebrau Aeon Mall so we all Grabbed there. Original plan was to eat some atas Western food called TonyRoma's. But the service was so shitty we just left without ordering anything. Then we split us and the girls went to the food court. I saw Sean Goh from university at the mall. What a small world!!!

Me and Jaaron went upstairs to buy Shilin street snacks. I bought myself one cutlet and the meesua. Eat until happy sia. Then chilled at the foodcourt for abit before walking around the supermarket. Bought 12 bottles of soju and 48 bottles of yakult to mix at night.

Then we all left and headed back to the accommodations. I played Pokemon Go whenever I can because we are in Bolehland and each Pokestop is a new exploration place. Then it was another Netflix movie called Fight School. Visited the toilet a few times and started drinking some of my soju.

Short JB Trip (July 2022) - Day 2 of 2

Woke up at 6:30am after a short 2-hour sleep. Just couldn't bear to spend my time sleeping so I got up early for a run. Went downstairs to use the gym. Stupid gym hot and stuffy. But okay, better than risk getting robbed while running on the streets.

Ran about 2.4km and then went back up to shower. Then the main gang started to wake up one by one. I ate my bread while I waited for Esther to initiate breakfast gang. Then the few of us walked around the neighbourhood and they eventually settled for some prawn mee.

I, however, just drank coffee. Needed the caffeine boost. Then went back to accomms to chill and lepak while playing music. At 11am plus, we all left for Energ X trampoline park. Took Grab there and alighted wrong place. Bloody hell the driver made us walk in the bloody hot sun.

The attraction itself is shit expensive at 74RM but okay, at least everyone had fun! A few of them didn't wanna play so they went back KSL for movie and massage. We spent 3 hours there. Crazy tiring. Then we all Grabbed back to KSL for "lunch" at 4pm.

I bought Shilin snacks to fill my stomach. Then went to buy some heong piah from Ming Ang. Braced the rain and all just to buy 7 packets home. Then at 5pm, Sunday night gang left. We Grabbed to JB Sentral in hopes of finding things to do or eat.

Sadly the place is like some ghost town. Walked around aimlessly before finally deciding together to go home. Stupid Malaysia custom made us wait like 1 hour to clear. Really stupid. Then the bus queue was too long so everyone got me to lead them in the walk back.

So we walked back to Singapore. Then cleared the customs in a jiffy and then we're on 170X to Kranji station. At first everyone wanted to "dinner" together but upon reaching Kranji MRT, all decided to go home. Sadlife. That's sadly the end of this short trip.

Short JB Trip (July 2022) - Day 1 of 2

Today was crazy. Batshit crazy. Woke up at 5:15am and left house at 5:30am. Took first bus 160 from Teck Whye LRT station to Woodlands Checkpoint. Reached the Checkpoint at 6:30am and cleared customs within a whiff. My journey begins.

Walked across the causeway into JB. Cleared JB customs within a whiff too. Then continued my walk towards KSL. The walk was super amazing. Got the NZ feels again. Didn't see any humans for half an hour straight. Really solid. Reached KSL area at 8am, which is rather insane. Bought some you tiaos that Aaron recommended. Great stuff.

Then chilled and lepak around KSL. Bought myself some soju before Chris and Sean arrived at 12pm. Took a walk around the area to look for lunch before settling down at Soon Soon Heng Bak Kut Teh. Don't really like it since it's herbal-based. After lunch went back to KSL lobby to take a nap before checking in to the accomodation at 3:45pm.

Accomodation is sickkkk. Went for a shower right away and then took an awesome 2-hour nap. Woke up a little too early today. It was a great sleep. Then went downstairs to meet the main gang. Main gang arrived and immediately was angsty cause they hungry. 

David and Shuling insisted on this random San Low restaurant but the long waiting time deterred everyone. So I brought everyone to Siang Kee, as per Jaaron's suggestion. But the thing is, they couldn't last until Siang Kee. Literally stopped before Siang Kee and ate at the competitors stall.

Walao.

So I rebelled and bought my own char kuay teow. I refused to partake in their poor decisions. Then after I ate I just zao back to KSL with Wai Kit. We went to buy cake for Esther and some party essentials. Gonna surprise her at 12am for her birthday.

Then reached back the accomodations before going back downstairs. Walked around and realised there is nothing much. Then went back up and drank soju at my corner. Then at 11pm they jio me go downstairs drink and eat. Walked around and all couldn't decide where to eat.

So end up go back up to celebrate Esther's birthday before midnight. Epic shit. There was whipped cream everywhere. Esther also threw the cake I bought on the floor. Crazy times. But still managed to salvage the cake by slicing off the cream that touched the ground.

Then we went back down to eat and drink. Hung out at the lok lok place until 3am. 3AM!!!! Drank a lot and chatted a lot. Can't believe I'm still sober and alive. Amazing!!! Took a quick shower and then slept at 3:30am. Crazy day.
