Lin Said: #SAIDINA :D

Hi!

Last week was the Labour Day long weekend, so Dina and I took the opportunity for a short escape to Jaybee.

After quite a number of alternatives and trials, we ended up queuing for the yellow bus to bring us over to the other side.

There was quite the traffic jam heading towards the immigration and we had to stand the entire way through.

There were huge groups of humans, but we managed to get through Singapore immigration and waited for the second bus for a rather short amount of time.

Waiting to get our passports stamped took about 50 minutes of waiting.

Once we got through, the first things we went ahead to grab were some nomz.

Reached Kranji MRT; ~850am

Reached JB: ~12nn

Boost & Auntie Anne's.

Settled on a random bench to get our nom on.

Since we had a couple of hours till check-in, we walked around to survey possible purchases.

Ha!

We checked-in on time, but our rooms weren't ready.

Had .5 hour to spare, so we thought we'd rest at the lounge.

It was so lonely there, just the two of us and the guy in-charge.

We had drinks and did not want any food, although he offered us and we ended up agreeing to soda because we felt rather sorry for him. :')

He must be so dang bored alone up there for hours, with the same music playing over and over again!

& lol at our choice of drinks matching the sofa. :'D

Half an hour later, our rooms still weren't ready.

So we left our bags at the hotel and went back to the malls.

Here's our food choices for the day, because I did not take any shopping shots.

Seoul Garden in Malaysia is more practical for both of us, who do not usually eat the money's worth at buffets. :'D

Night #1 shenanigans.

Board games because Dina has been obsessed.

& also because we decided to return to the hotel before sundown as the path from the mall to the hotel was not very safe/friendly.

Hence that was what we did that night.

(We gave up on snake and ladders cos we figured we'd take forever to win.)

We watched Jarhead 3: The Siege, which was pretty good, and then I fell asleep.

Day 2.

Made it to the last half hour of breakfast.

Decent food.

Went back up to get ready for the rest of the day.

Matchy.

All new clothes purchased the day before. :'D

PS I really enjoyed these pants from Uniqlo!!

(Hella expensive though.)

Lunch was at...

Boat Noodle as suggested by Nina. :>

All our food came before our drinks.

& we waited for a really good amount of time.

So I took pictures of the food, after asking about our drinks and waiting some more.

Boat Noodles.

We bought 6 bowls, 4 with rice noodles and 2 with egg noodles, all in spicy beef broth.

RM2.01/bowl.

Kra-pow Chicken with Rice.

Warning: This dish is spicy.

It's basically the Thai Basil Chicken sorta deal.

I can take high levels of spice, so it was delicious.

If you can't take spice, you probably would not like this.

*v*

Finally, the drinks arrived.

Dina had the Thai Green Milk Tea while I had the Thai Milk Tea.

The Matcha in the GMT was pretty strong, you can taste a lot of the bitterness in that one.

The TMT was great, real yums.

Hence, I prefer the TMT.

The cups were legit plastic though, it's kinda a waste that they have to throw them away, but also disgusting if they were to reuse it.

I would've brought it home but it would take so much space. :'D

Yes, people were looking over at us while we waited for our drinks like "Why aren't they eating?"

& yes, people were looking over at us, as though thinking "Can they finish it?"

& when we ordered this delightful steamed bread with pandan custard kaya, they were like "Add-on oder?!"

& yes we finished it all. :>

The bill amounted to about RM50.20 or something, which is about $15/person.

We were joking about how in Singapore, for $15, we would only get 2 large cups of Thai Milk Tea. :')

Very happy meal right here, 10/10 would come back again ^

Shopping resumes.

There weren't much new/nice collections at H&M/Cotton On, so we spent our money on books, food and Uniqlo.

Mostly Uniqlo.

Last minute snack grabs before returning to our hideout.

Boost again, obviously.

What a combination of things to do.

Me after I poured hot water into the cup noodles: "....how are we going to eat them? We don't have forks, right?!"
So an extra toothbrush and stirrers were the answer. :'D
