A trivial question.

Q: Where is Bear & myself favorite ground these days?
A: Can be establish from below.

Bear needs to exchange a faulty watch that he brought 2 weeks back in JB. As the watch warranty cover him for 2 weeks ONLY, he must do an exchange by today. It costs him total of RM400 for 2 watches, convert to Sin dollar that about $174. JB, boleh?

We reached JB immigration at it was crammed. Look at the queue…



It took us about 20 minutes to clear immigration & custom. That was pretty fast comparing to Singapore really. Singapore with all their better building and so-called superiority facility, it took us more than an hour to clear when we return back. What a joke!

While we were queuing inside the building,



Bear wore his sunglass he looked quite cool though. Bearminator?

Time: 1:00pm

We went to wash our hair as well do an overhaul on our ear.



Look at Bear ginning from ear to ear you knows he enjoying himself for his earwax services.

Damaged: RM12 + RM14 (Hair wash + Ear wax)

I must emphasize their hair wash is really out of this world. A good 20 minutes of scrubbing your hair with massage on your neck & shoulder throw in. Worth every cents!

Next stop, Holiday Plaza.

Took a cab there and Bear immediately went to the watch shop for an exchange.



This shop specialty is selling replica stuffs from LV bags to Patek Philippe watches and it comes NOT cheap. An imitation LV bags cost from RM400 to RM800, made in Korea was the reason for the high price. There was this fake watch (brand unknown) at a price of RM900/-……wow!

Went for our lunch at this newly opened food court and we ordered ‘Yong Tou Fu’ curry style.



I never like neither food court concept nor its food. Yes, the commons food court sure is nice to look at, but too bad the food varies from so-so to utter shit. It is the same everywhere, whether in Singapore or elsewhere.

After our meal, we took a cab to Pelangi Shopping center and found this cafe. (BTW, I hate JB cab)



What time is it? It’s coffee time.



Bear asked for fresh milk as he finds his coffee too sweet for his liking. Guess what? The waitress gave him condense milk instead. I always tell Bear not to be too soft-spoken and this time I was proven right.

Next stop…….Sentosa JB.
In JB, we either do 2 things: Shop and eat.

Bear brought me to this restaurant where they serves only tonic foods.

Look at this menu……


I try their most expensive desserts, snow frog jelly with American Ginseng and the costs is RM15.00. Bear took the American Ginseng with herbal jelly costs RM9.00

Spend half an hour exploring the place and took a cab to City square. We went to 3rd level to a Japanese restaurant called ? (I have no idea as the matter of fact)



What pisses me off is when we made our return trip back we have spend more than an hour queuing in Singapore immigration and customs. They actually made you wait. Ask Bear about this sometimes if you folks have the chance.

What Swiss standard of living, eh?
What first world?

I don’t see and feel it. Period.

Oh when I was queuing there a flash in the signboard saying “Your safety is our priority.” I could see mean chaps in sub machine guns like Rambo wannabe.

So how did Took, just a vegetable seller managed to cross the border when his passport was detained by police?

Everytimes when I think of this, it makes my little toes laugh.
