JB Trip (April 2023) - Day 2 of 3

Day 2 started with me being the first to wake up (like how a good old SAF regular should). I sat down at the sofa from 8am until the 2nd person wakes up, which happened to be Joshua because he's looking for a haircut. What does his haircut gotta do with me, you say? Well, this is JB, everywhere we go must be in buddy level.

Me and Joshua walked out to the streets beside our apartment. Sadly his barber shop is closed so we almost made a wasted trip. I passed by this coffeeshop and saw the locals eating the noodles. So I decided to try some myself. Solid bird bird bro. Local food never fails to disappoint. With kopi peng packet, everything cost just under 10 ringgit. Insane!!!

With happy stomachs, we both walked back to the apartment. Everyone else was just starting to wash up. It was at this moment we decided to rent car from SOCAR instead of taking Grab because our calculations show that renting car is way cheaper. We settled on this Perodua MYVI car, which is a 6-seater, perfect for us. I think the total damage for the car is 200+ ringgit for the entire day???

We needed to collect the car at Ikea so we took one last Grab ride to Ikea. No more walking on that shitty ass road man. We wasted a lot of time trying to find the car because the carpark is so damn big. Like why?? Why so many lots!!! But yes, when we found the car, we were super excited! Our first stop is a brunch place discovered by Joshua's early morning browsing, called Roast & Coffee, at Palladium.


I think the place is a breakfast place but who cares? We are all having breakfast at 12pm. The laksa is their signature dish, and boy, does it taste heavenly. But what made us achieve nirvana is the salted caramel toast. Legit bro, words can't describe how good that thing is. I don't want to say this is the best food this trip, but it is certainly up there on the leaderboards.


With stomachs filled and hearts satisfied, we then drove to visit thrift shops. We stopped by this furnace of a place filled with used clothes. I instantly kena allergic reaction after walking one round inside the oven. Hot as hell bodoh. Ended up just chilling in the car with the aircon on sua. My sensitive skin means I will never ever purchase used clothes. After Joshua and Samuel bought their goods, we left for banana cake shop.


Crazy driving from Sean as usual. My motion sickness almost became a real person this whole trip. We arrived at this atas stretch of road and we took some geisiao act cool pictures. We split up as we explored that stretch of shops. Me and Wallace just wanna cool down so we both bought ice cream from this random aircon mama shop and lepak inside the shop.


Then it was banana cake time. So apparently this Hiap Joo bakery is like famous or something. So many people queuing up for this cake. To me okay only la. My mum makes better banana cake. But of course not everyone have my mother so they can only settle for Hiap Joo. We all consumed the cake in the comforts of our aircon car.

It was my turn to drive as we head to Permas Go-Kart Circuit. It was quite a smooth drive there. The road leading into the karting place resembles outfield conditions. What an exciting drive as we saw dogs and cows and monkeys. The desire to go out to touch the cows is real man. We soon arrived at the location at 4pm. Semi-dark clouds but no rain.

We explored the rocks and dirt for a little because it's nice to be away from the bustling city for a change. We even chased chickens and their chicks. Took a few nice photos on a pile of random rocks. Fun times!!! After Joshua deposited his liquids onto the innocent grass, we headed into the reception area.

We only got to ride for 10 minutes due to the weather, but it was the most fun 10 minutes of our trip. The 60km/hr speed is crazy and it feels real good. But of course, after riding my motorbike for years and feeling that wind in my face, the only appeal of go-karting is purely just to race with friends. Sean control is as good as mine because we are both exceptional drivers in our daily lives. Others were just trying to survive!

It then started raining right after we hung up our helmets. Lucky us!! On the drive back to civilisation, we decided to try our luck in touching the cows. Obviously that failed because the cows are super smart. They know we are trollers and are just there to disturb their grass buffet. They literally stopped chewing and gave us the death stare when we stopped beside them.

Too bad. That's a good sign it's time to head back to the city. We went back to our Airbnb apartment to change and recharge. At 6:30pm, we drove to Senibong Bay Seafood for our dinner. The place itself is very chill and we can see Singapore from the shoreline. But ah, the speed of the food being served killed our mood. Kid you not, the food is really really good, but we probably need to be fiercer in the future.

Eat until super full again. Shiok sia. I'm done with driving for the day. Sean took back the wheel as we headed to Aeon again to restock our supply for the night. No alcohol purchases this time, only water and snacks. It was a quick supply run. Then we all went back to the apartment to start our crazy night. Some dude just came to our condo's carpark to collect the car back.


Night was crazy as hell. I drank all of my alcohol and we even played with fireworks on the balcony. Talk cock sing song while drunk and high on vape is the best thing to do in JB. Really chill and epic life!!! Jeffrey toh way too early and it was a sign for photo time!!!
