Today, my mother, my brother and one of his friends, Michelle and I went to JB. It has been a long time since I woke up so early…haha…woke up at 9. Then we started to prepare and went to meet my brother’s friend who was in the mrt station. And so we took mrt to the Kranji station. As this was the first time I went to JB from Singapore, I was quite excited and at the same time, I was curious to know how it looks like and the local food and places. In the past, my mother used to take my brother and I to Labuan, which is also part of the Malaysia, when we were small in Brunei. We used to take my uncle’s ship to Labuan as it was his career. It was quite relaxing and at the same time, we could experience the feeling of boarding the ship and enjoyed the breeze and I could smell some salt in the sea. Back to now, when we reached the Kranji mrt station, we went and waited for the bus that took us to the custom checkpoint. Soon, we reached there and we queued up for checking the passport. There were 2 types of passport checking there. One is the old way which is letting the custom people to chop the passport and the other which is using the thumbprint to check the passport. I find the latter is quite fun and interesting. Also at the custom checkpoint there, the policemen were very fierce. And soon, we took another bus to JB. When we reached there, I could see people communicate with Malay and there were many taxis waiting at there. The funniest thing is that, almost every taxi driver would ask us if we want to take taxi as we walked down the street. And also, the traffic was somehow different from Singapore. The zebra crossing at there like don’t serve any purpose one because people still need to look at the traffic light, then we can cross. Many shops were selling pirated VCDs there and we also bought some movies. Then we went to the shopping centre…don’t know what the name is called…and we shopped for 3 hrs. We went to see clothes, buying many food and tibits…like that loh. We had our lunch there and soon we went back, carrying so many things. I was very tired then. Hope that next time, I will go there soon. Also, after I went home, I went out with Jovin to walk for a while around Queenstown. We went to Ikea and Anchor Point. At the same, we shared our troubles with each other. It was because I guessed the only person that I could share my problems with is she. |
