National Day 2006

This entry came 2 days late.. Its the 11th today. I was too tired the past 2 days to pen down anything. Either that, if not means the server was perpectually down till I just switched off my laptop...

Well, being in this world for 21 years (soon...), this is my FIRST national day spent out of Singapore! I went to Malaysia JB for a half day tour!!

I didnt started off exactly too good. I guess I am not the only soul who wants to have a short getaway from this city. There's a LOOONNGGGG queue at the custom and it took me almost an hour to clear the customs. The queues were merging everywhere! I think that there should be something done to solve this problem... Perhaps longer queue poles? Think they really works well.

Once out of the freaking sardine can, we headed straight to City Square! Well, its the nearest shopping centre around with reasonable pricing, so... why not? The movie i realised is so cheap! Its RM6 for a show only! When we went in, there were some commercial going on and it states that if we are to watch any show before noon, it would be EARLY BIRD PRICE at only RM5!! Gosh... Where am I to find a better deal... Next time I am gonna go in EARLY in the morning and come back at night, having done only 1 type of activity. Haha.

Food at the roadside hawker is always something I loved. Its cheaper and tastier (mos of the times) and there is always this nice "feeling" to be eating there. Haha. My sister always says that too! Had a great spread of food... Char kway teow, hokkien mee, oyster omelette, chicken wings, otah, popiah, soya bean drink, sugar cane drink... Shiok.

Next up came all the adventourous stuff for me... First, we happily jaywalk across the road and started walking back towards Singapore. Halfway, we realised that the checkout custom for Malaysia is actually BEFORE the bus stop! We have left Malaysia illegally! Well, conclusion is that their barricade and stuff sucks. Any ah-cat ah-dog can easily get out without going through the customs! Nvm... we made out way through the zig-zagging traffic and managed to get back to clear the customs...

When I reached home around 11.30pm, totally shag out, something happened. I was waiting for my house lift when I heard an old grandmother voice from above me calling "ah boy...". I swear its not hallucination... and I was alone at that point of time. My hair rose and felt a chill down my spine. LITERALLY. How I wish for the lift to open right in front of me immediately. I looked up and realised the lift had just descended to 6th floor from 11th floor. Then it came again, with a more draggy tone... "ah boooyyyyyyy......". I refused to look up and stared at the lift (as though it will help to make the lift come down faster... lol). Finally the door opened and I ran in. Just as the door was closing... "AH boy...." Well, I am quite positive it is some old granny living between floor 2 and 5, who is bored that is doing the calling... BUT its the 7th month now, and its just too eerie to check it out...

What a National Day for me. I am sure to catch the re-telecast on Saturday.... Ha. I really enjoyed my day out at Malaysia...

Cheers
