It seems to be a traditional for the Ingenia gang to visit JB for every holiday that we had, be it our recess week or the long break between semesters. Today was another day at City Square, the popular shopping mall among the Singaporeans who used to frequent the places near the border of Malaysia often.
We had our lunch at the Hao Bi restaurant which is famous for its herbal ducks rice. We order a set meal for it and a few more side dishes to compliment our lunch. It is one of our favourite food whenever we came over here. Next, some of the guys went for a hair cut at REDS for a relatively good bargain and the rest of us just shop around the mall. I bought another 3 months' supply of contact lens and a small tee with bible verse printed on it as a small treat for myself. Haha...my very first piece of clothes that I bought for the last 2 months! :P Yeah...it still feels good to shop once in a while ba...lol
When everything is done, we head for a karaoke session at Neways located at the top level of the mall. For a total of RM16 (we enjoy a 50% off student discount), we got ourselves into the VIP room (it never states there but I believe it is as good as a VIP room). It is the first time I have found a KTV room...with our own private toilet! lol The sofa are brand new and the room is very spacious with 3 coffee tables placed next to the U-shaped sofa. The 9 of us could almost lie on the sofas nicely...how amazing! lol
We sang till about 6pm when all of us sang until we are tired. Later, we met up with Jeannie who just finished her work (she is on attachment this semester) and went to buy the usual stuffs we all enjoy (hoho...not good to tell here but Singaporeans should know what I am refering to...lol). For dinner, however we did not go for the seafood at Taman Garden. Instead, Joseph brought us to the alleys opposite City Square to enjoy some street stalls delicacies. We love the bak kuh teh, the sambal sting ray, the chicken wings, oyster egg and char kway teow there. The food is really fantastic and it is a totally fun to eat in such environment with your friends, like those roadside stalls back in our parents era...haha...lol But some flaws would be the hygiene and safety and the crowd ba...but these are not such a big issue to us yet as many locals seem to enjoy this place as much as us...lol This is a process for us to assimilate into the locals, isn't it? :P Moreover, this meal only cost RM10 per person...it's really value for the money! :D
After dinner, we went back to City Square to pack away some cheesecakes from Secret Recipe as desserts back in Singapore. We also bought a small piece of cake for Zhiwei to celebrate his belated birthday. It was only 9pm when we reached back hall and the celebration began with 3 tasks for him: blow away the lighted candle from a distance, to drink a can of Heniken beer within 30 seconds, and feed every one of us with spoon for the cake and eat the remaining of the cake off the table without using his hands. These are pretty mild pranks we had on him compared to those for Terry the other time...so he is pretty lucky ya? :P Haha...lol We chat for a while and finally the day ended at about 1130pm when everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Thank God for such a wonderful day with my hall friends...thank you for letting such bunch of friends into my life to bring me joy and happiness in the midst of my stress from my studies...You are forever the greatest! lol
"Sadly my camera is spoilt or else I can show you all these beautiful moments of my life...haiz...those above are taken from my phone (Peiying & I at the KTV) and also from the last visit before today...lol"
