Home Sweet Home
Sunday, April 30th, 2006Just came back from Johore. It’s about time for me to get a nice loong vacation after a loong weeks of work. 3 days is not enough but well life must go on. On saturday (29th April) the journey to Johore begins, with marq and mus along the way. A loong but interesting journey. We stop at Muar to visit Akma’ sibling at SMSains Muar. Have a nice lunch of Mee Bandung, then we stopped at one restaurant belongs to Marq’s mom’s aunt. Having a nice rojak with teh tarik. Then we separate ways where I’m going to stay at Marq’s home while Mus heading to his hometown which is not far from Akma’s house.
Arrived at Marq’s house in Johore Bharu at 8.00pm. I like the environment, full of greeneries, peace and quiet. More like "kampung". It’s not a big house but it’s comfy, on top of the hills. The house was built during colonial era when British set foot in Johore. Now it is a quaters for government servant. The small house, built on the hill side with the view of Johore Bharu township truly breathtaking. Ok enough about the house.. Marq will "kembang" a lot later on. That night went to Danga Bay, but since too tired + too many people, it makes me sooooo lazy to find parking spot so head home instead.
The next day, we went to the nearest waterfall, (which has been exploited by WetWorld, which is sucking our money) The fees: RM 9 per adult, RM5 for a car(parking) TOTAL: RM32.00 for a waterfall park which is small, no water leisure facilities, no free food (of course they have stalls but the price was extremely expensive &*%$$#!!!!!), 2 level of waterfalls and too many people like sardines in a can. Well since we have payed the fees, just try to enjoy ourselves there by climbing the waterfall where others don’t dare to do it. (lol we are crazy of course, but well we payed for something that was hurmmm not worth it… so we make it worth it our WAY) then we went to Tebrau City Jusco for lunch, 30 minutes looking for parking, and 15 minutes of "maki hamun" to those both Malaysians and Singaporeans who either don’t know how to read or understand road signs or simply "don’t know".. u get what what I mean. Then we went to look for a place to eat.. great all place was unavailable…. then one restaurant attracted our attention. The Vivo, an American restaurant.. since we are very2 hungry we just drop in. I ordered past with cream black mushroom, while mus and marq ordered, baked rice with chicken meatballs lasagna and baked rice with turkey ham. Marq and I just having mineral water with lemon while Mus ordered Iced Lemon tea. The food was great, the waitress was friendly, well it’s kinda exclusive place I guess, but we just don’t care since our stomach grumbling like hell. The cost? yumm yumm don’t want to tell hahaha plus 10% service charge + 5% govt tax… ahaha.. Then we off to UTM to look for PC shop and off back home around 6.45pm.
At 7.00pm the same day, Marq’s parents invited me for dinner.. well from Johore Bharu, we went to Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) for dinner. Having nice Hong Kong style of Steamed Kerapu sooo nice with Fried Kailan, fried prawns, mixed Tom Yam and plain rice. All freshly served in a restaurant that is located on the water at the beach not far from PTP. Arrived home around 11.45pm.
The next day, (which is TODAY) time to leave Johore to head for Kuala Lumpur. Well I’m going to missed the moments. After packing up our things, we went to tambak Johore to look at Singapore one last time before we head back to KL. took some photos, and head back to KL for lol 3 hours. Drove 160km/h along the way, except some "special" spot.. ahaha (don’t want to get caught). Stopped at R&R for breakfast and then continue our journey back.
Well here I am after sending Marq to Ampang, arrived to my sweet home at 11.45am.
Fuh.. this evening need to wash my car that looks like after it gone through 4X4 expedition… mud everywhere, dust, seasand and soil everywhere… (well since we went to the waterfall spot, need to drive all the way to the top, and playing around at Danga Bay beach sand which has been converted as a parking spot for seaview for temporary development). Before that.. time for a nice sleep.. I missed my pillow.
See ya all.. tomorrow, the work will begun.. aaaaaaaaaa… ~sleep_mode~
