went jb to shop today with my family. and when we were at it, we came to the realisation that it has been quite a number of years already since we last went on such a shopping trip together. and it was a very nice family bonding thingy cause in our busy schedules we hardly manage to catch up with each other, especially so for me even during the past 2 weeks for holidays.

THE CLOTHES AT MALAYSIA ARE REALLY CHEAP! haha~~ bit carried away there but yes, was so tempted to buy lots of stuff there but in the end didn't get much. got this nice woolen nike sweater for RM$50. which works out to be S$23-25. tt's like cheaper than a shirt lor. sweater vs shirt, quite pleased with myself. and got 1 christmas present there as well.

we had so much to eat there as well, ate at a tze(1) char(4) store, which we were supposed to have patronised regularly in the past when these shopping trips were more common, and the food was great, except for the fact tt they delievered the wrong fish to our table... and the fish we got was supposed to be for a larger table, and ours was supposed to be a smaller fish... and they actually charged us for the larger fish although it was honestly not our mistake...

so the fish was RM$50. a white promfret. i mean we didn't really mind actually since we all haven't ben eating fish regularly. and the total bill came up to abt $RM100, which is quite reasonable. but the fish cost 1/2 the bill.

thanks lor.

but i'm really keen to go with some friends again someday. maybe we can take a bus up or if better someone can drive, then can buy more stuff. jan anyone? :)

on the way home there was a jam, as always on the jb side, and i was quite peeved at the way some of the drivers drove. and i'm really not biased here but i though singaporean drivers were bad enough. but generally the driving was really rude for everyone in general and there was this car which was changing lanes everytime any lane started to move. and it's really such pple who slow down the whole queue and make the jam worse...

boy was i glad when we finally passed through the customs at the singapore side. and finally i could identify with this person who had written to the forum in st to tell of how a customs officer made her day by simply smiling warmly and saying "welcome home." i never felt so relieved before for getting out of a traffic jam.
