JB Outing!

Wow.. it has been a week since I last blogged. Apologies for not blogging... Recently i dun seem to have the mood to blog... i dunno why... haha...

I am actually beri free... but i just dun have the mood to blog...



Anyway, went to Johor Bahru on Saturday! Met Zhenhui and Tsianhwee at Kranji MRT! Took 170 into Malaysia... hmm.... havent been to Malaysia for around 5 years liao... I am finally going back again..haha.. and its my 1st outing with friends alone...

SIN = RM 240 @ Mong Lee Minimart, Bangkit

Rate was quite good.... but Tsianhwee says the Lot 1 Money Changer was RM 240.60.

We met at 1115am and reached johor at 115pm.. 2 hours wait... zzz.... 45 minutes wait for 160/170/170X at woodlands checkpoint.. its a chore... seriously.... the bus frequency was slow.... DAMN RITE SLOW... and the queue is horrible.... and queue cutting is like nobody's business.... there's no proper line to draw the queue for the buses... and nobody knows they are waiting for wich bus...


The new 2 lane customs checkpoint instead of the 14 lane old customs checkpoint is an extremely service improvement in malaysia.... i cant imagine who could have tot 2 lane is better than 14 lanes... -_-".... horrible jam.... zzz... the new johor checkpoint was nicely done up... but i wonder why they had to have such topsy curvy roads to reach the checkpoint.. and 2 lanes somemore... jammed there for 45 minutes...


Seriously... like my usual style.. no planning go le.... i didnt bring any map or anything.. haha... took 170X and ended up at Kotaraya II Bus Terminal. YES... beri funny... ulu ulu place.... den we walked towards City Square... the bus actually stops at City Square before tat.. but i didnt want to alight... lol... serves me rite.... actually the road to city square freaked me out... its so ulu.... ppl walk pass u ..u tink they gg to rob u..... zzz....

Anyway, we had roasted char siew... herbal chicken and hotplate beancurd at a coffee house.. urmz.... we ordered too much..... -_-".... felt so full.... i was the 1st to surrender.... followed by tsianhwee... i didnt really like the malaysian style... beri salty... and dark noodles.... but zen likes it... haha.... surprisingly he helped us clear the food... when he usually is the 1st to surrender in singapore..haha.... RM 65 for 3 persons..... isnt cheap....




We went to city square.. walked for a while.... den decided to catch a movie... and u know what... there's CATHAY CINEPLEX in JB. Haha...and Citibank Clear Card Members get to enjoy movies at RM8 on Weekends... 2 tickets per card member! We bought 2 Citibank movie tickets and 1 normal tickets at RM10... RM26.... supposed to pay for 2 RM2 Citibank Popcorn combo... but they forgot to collect from us anyway.... haha...


Summary
Movie Tickets - RM26 Citibank
2 Popcorn combos... - FREE (4get to charge me)
Add-on Drink - RM2.90 Cash
Total: RM28.90
3 movie tickets.... 3 small drinks.... and 2 mini popcorn....
Citibank's credit card exchange rate was RM2.355
SIN $12.24 ONLY

In singapore, would have cost me....
Movie Tickets - $18 UOB
2 mini popcorn combos... $7
Add-on drink = $2.80
Total: SIN $27.80


Watched Blood.. find the movie quite weird.. not my cup of tea... ending sucks.... i dun really understand the movie... just killing and blood scenes all over.... sucking blood.... killing vampires when the vampire killer is a vampire herself... Zzz....

Anyway, walked around... Things arent cheap these days.... except for the movie tickets...haha... we ended up buying Milo Drink home only! LOL... and Eclipse.. but anyway, realised their restaurants offer the same prices as those in singapore.... looks like u must really buy expensive stuff.... den its cheap... if not.... it can cost u more in malaysia....




Oh ya... had Marrybrown Chicken after tat at City Square for dinner b4 heading back... haha.... they have extremely slow service.. cos its slow food... not fast food... they cook for u once u make order.... i liked the crispy just fried chicken .... LOL... taste freaking nice! although portion was kinda small... but anyway we were quite full... so just nice! zen and tsian didnt really eat... haha.... only me! LOL....

Anyway, apologies... no camera shots for the malaysia trip... i was scared to get robbed in City Square... its the most dangerous place in malaysia.... haha.... bring camera... risk of getting robbed quite high.... lol....




Anyway, enjoyed the day out in malaysia.. with tsian and zen... hope they enjoyed their time there too..... anyway, its more of an adventure... though we only went shopping... and watching movie.... OMG! LOL.... maybe next time we can travel further to explore some other places? Hehe =)

Work sucks.... cos the schedule they give me is really shit.... too little hours... like this week... my roster is only 15 hours... Zzz... I am quitting soon.. but dunno when.... latest by 11 July... finish the time card for the 2nd month.... or earliest 28 June....

But seriously these few days have been quite slack... There are NO CUSTOMERS... LOL... i anticipate them to cut my hours more soon.... Yesterday one staff went on compassionate leave.... and they didnt put any replacement... and yet... there's no queue.... in fact they can ask me go touch candies... in the name of faceout... haha...

anyway... this job seems to be the most risky of H1N1 these few days... cos customers are mainly 60% ang moh, 30% chinese, 10% others...


Anyway, haha... u find find this video absurb... y would anyone behave this way when they go out dining and shopping... but some singaporeans really behave this way when they go shopping.. especially the rich taitais... -_-" ...

FUNNY CUSTOMERS
(1) Wear H1N1 mask.... Reason is not to avoid risk of infection. But... to ask for an absurb refund..... she is too embarrassed to let us see her face... the refund item was an ice-cream that she bought 6 months ago without a receipt and she claim the ice cream's spoilt... she buys a lot... and make refunds every week. rich tai tai....

(2) A rich tai-tai who walks in to ask for a $200 refund.... without a receipt.... maid throw away liao... she brought about 10 boxes of brands chicken of essence.... probably bought them on promotion and refund it when there's no promotion to earn $50. Or probably her husband only gave her a credit card... she bought it and refund it for cash so she can buy things that requires cash.

(3) A customer who left her chicken in the car for 5 hours... and reached home.... only to realise the roasted chicken is spoilt.... came back for a refund.... scolded the supermarket manager saying y the chicken is spoilt... damn it..she failed her home economics back in school..... and she said WHY IS THE CHICKEN NOT FRESH.... oso a rich tai-tai...

(4) A customer who wanted a receipt for the free gift.... so she can make an exchange tml if she dun like the free gift when she reached home for another free gift..... australian ang moh... rich ang moh tai tai....

(5) A customer who was told to come back tml... cos the restock is tml.... she came at 855am... waiting outside the supermarket...cos the stock is coming today!... dumb.... do u expect things to appear at 9am the next day... cant she wait 2 days... zzz.... rich tai tai AGAIN....

SICK RICH TAI-TAIs.. in action...
