14/02/06~17/02/06
1st plan: langkawi, 2nd plan: penang, 3rd plan: penang & genting, No. of days: 3 days 2 nights, Transportation:lrt-star-bus, Accomodation: tanjung bungah beach hotel, No. of people: 6 - yoong, jin, me, alex, shawn, gene
the night before... alex did some research on penang and did not sleep till 3.30 in the morning... poor guy was surfing through the net for the hotel rates and its contact numbers because most sites do not provide the hotel's contact... next day... alex called mua and inform the rates of the hotels that he had check out and we agreed on bunking in tanjung bungah hotel... so our mind was set to penang!!!~ no transport nor hotel bookings were done, was planning to arrive there and then to purchase tix and get a room upon arriving... met at taman bahagia lrt station at 2pm... bought lrt tix to masjid jamek to transit to star to pudu raya to take the bus... journey in the lrt... was talking... somehow the topic detoured to somewhat visit singapore instead... on how we could bunk over at johor... yadda yadda... final plan was ---> Place: johor-singapore-johor, No. of days: 4 days 3 nights, Tansportation: lrt & bus, Accomodation: johor - yoong's aunt's place, singapore - unsure, No. of people: 3 - yoong, alex, me ... the rest backout... reasons? jin - job interviews, shawn - needed to get some stuff done at the same time cashless as well, gene - part time work started... bah u guys are evil
since there's a change in plan, everyone's gotta head back home to get their passport... alex sent me home to collect mine, when everything's done... arrived pudu station at 5pm... purchased the tix for the 5.30 departure instead the bus was late... we waited for an hour and half to 7pm... purchased 12 donuts to go for our journey to johor... arrived at yoong's aunt's place approx 11pm... her cousin picked us up... head to mamak... arrived home at 12 in the morning... yoong and i... slept at the airconditioned room... while alex was chucked downstairs in a room w/out aircon only a standfan and a washing machine...
day 2
woke up in the morning... head down to singapore!!!~ singapore roars!!!~ took a bus from johor to singapore at a cheap fare of RM2.40... arrived singapore approx noon time... and the first thing we had cos we were practically starving was mcDs... presenting the all new fan-tastic burger... rice replacing buns with beef/slices or chicken patty

it was really good i tell ya!!!~ so good... so good!!!~ we were wondering aimlessly at orchard really... cos by the time we went in and out of shops it was about mid-noon... couldn't really do much... cos 1 - we were somehow lost in singapore, 2 - we were having some problems getting to orchard, 3 - we were worried over our accomodation then... so we hung around... did minor shopping... didn't get to buy much stuffs afterall with me is only S$64.90, yes i know it wasn't enough but i am really short of cash... i've managed to get my localbrand tee though!!!~

day 3
couldn't buy much with the leftover cash... hence i indulge myself with food... met alex at orchard burger king for brunch... and can u just count the amount of chilli sauce he alone ate to drench his fries?

i alone had these throughout the day...

afterall what can i do with the remaining cash? not like i could purchase anything... why not indulge in food which couldn't be found in back here?
from the top left to bottom right---> new zealand ice cream - S$2 for two big scoops of any flavours - taking the advantage of the promo period between 12pm-1pm - compliments from alex, 7-11 fresh brewed chocolate/cappucino/mocha - i had mocha topping it with cocoa powder... they have free marshmellow toppings in 2 variants - choc/vanilla but i couldn't have any cos they ran out of it, some fluffy jap pancake with peanut - 90cents at takashimaya, tako pachi - japanese octopus balls... which can be found in m'sia BUT the octopus that they used is different than here, hence its a must to try, lastly some mexican stick thingy... which its a new thingy from 7-11... some beefy hot jalepeno or somewhat... i could be wrong in naming it though
for the rest of the day... we were alex's fashion consultant from getting working clothes to getting outing clothes... i makan whole day while following that two fella doing major shopping spree... which btw singapore now is having some kinda sales...
headed home around 8.30pm... arrived johor approx 10.30pm... yoong's cousin came back... so this time... we've gotta sleep in the living hall... which was fine to me cos its fully equipted with airconditioning... slept then waken up by that 2 monkey's drinking milo and eating biscuits late at night... woke up had 2 persimmons catched 'big mama 2' with them for a very short while... conked out... alex conked out... yoong conked out... no one finished the movie...
day 4
had breakfast in some coffee shop... caught the earliest bus but the suckiest one cos it was then available... had the worst seats on earth - the back rows fitted right for 3 person... jumped off the bus at kl monorail which we weren't supposed to but oh-what-the-heck... afterall we do things spontaneously... i rather drop off at some station that i know of rather than to go all the way back to pudu station then figure the way to the star line then drop of to hop into the lrt... anyways arrived home at 5 in the evening just in time to get ready and all for 7.30 pre-wedding dinner of my mom's closest friend's daughter
in summary ---> the vacation was great!!!~
