one more tick off the post exams to do list ; day retreat at JB !
i've had so much fun even though it's only just five of us ; rachel felicia jason kenneth and I .
thank you jason for taking the time off to bring us and kenneth too. this mini trip wouldn't have been possible without them because we wouldn't have the guts to venture ourselves .
i had no idea how much to bring since it's only a day trip. mom gave me 90 ringgit which was whatever she had left of the currency. jason told me it's more than enough since our initial plan was to catch a movie at city square and head off for zichar dinner . unfortunately, there weren't a lot of movies offered and our choice boiled down to the horror flick . good chance to test our guts and probably witness jason's first wimpy scream ever .. too bad we were only left with front row seats and the awful customer service from the counter staff put us off so badly.
lunch at nandos.
we ordered a platter and the total bill amounted to 70+ ringgit. (~28SGD)
it would have been the price we paid individually if we had dine at sg's nandos.
the cost of living in singapore is really insane..
since we were unable to settle for a show , we decided to walk around to kill time instead.
did i mention that auntie anne's and beard papa costs much lesser in JB?
sounds a little retarded but i was actually really amazed at the prices.
guess it all boils down to our strong currency which i'm really thankful for :)
we made a stop at the arcade and we played my favourite air hockey game !!
2 tokens per game = RM 1 ~ SGD0.40
in singapore it would be 2 bucks/game/player.
and the bulk of my money went to these items. ..
sandals from vincci.
both amounted to 90 RM (~37SGD)
not as cheap as bangkok but i think the quality's much better :)
so happy with my purchase!!
we ( the girls ) spent quite a while at the shop so we felt rather bad for the two boys..
it was still early and we didnt feel hungry.
we still had some time to kill before dinner so we wanted to chill at coffeebean.
we were going to coffeebean when feli asked us to check out inglot cosmetics store...
from the moment we stepped into the store,
i knew all three of us wont step out of the store empty handed..
thanks feli, you've been very kind to my wallet.
anyway, we spent close to an hour on the shop.
we were busy trying the cosmetics and listening to the staff's recommendation that we lost track of time. guilty level at it's maximum while the guys were waiting outside. felt a little less guilty when they settle down at the quaint cafe to have some 'me-time' while we continue with our cosmetics spree.
i dont think kenneth wants to hang out with us anymore haha :p
we were very happy with the illuminating effect of this cream foundation so rach and i bagged home one each . 68 RM (~29 SGD ) really reasonable given the product quality.
last stop ; dinner at some market which is 5 mins ride from city square mall
took a cab which was pegged at 8 RM (~SGD 3.50)
we ordered five dishes ; sambal kangkong , herbal chicken , cereal prawns ( my favourite! ) , hot plate tofu and spicy lala . we wanted to order crabs but the price quoted was way too expensive. we thought we would give it a miss since we are gonna meet for crabs next week .
the total bill amounted to 101RM (~41SGD)
headed straight for the check point after we had our tummies filled.
such a simple and happy day :)
have a good week and drink lots of water to fend off the heat everyone :>
