Day Trip to Johore Bahru

It was a long day......

My 'son' , my 'nephew' and I met up at Kranji MRT at 11+am Took the Smiley bus to the Singapore custom. Surprisingly, there were few cars, hardly any congestion. Clearance was swift and we arrived into JB and cleared immigration/custom, without much delay!

Exchange rate was lower than before at $2.39 but still better than before at $2.18 - S$2.3. 1st stop was lunch and we took a cab ride to Taman Gardens vicinity for the famous Bak Kut Teh. When we arrived, the shop was closed! The staff were doing spring cleaning and the shop closed for the day! What a disappointment! Decided to go to the other shop to try. The place was crowded and it looked very good! Well....... the food was certainly not as tasty as the famous shop we patronise. I doubt I would come back again!

After lunch, we went to Terbrau City and decided to sing K. Spent a few hours there where Raymond and Small Ben sang their hearts out! The session was fun especially when Small Ben got 'high' when singing!

Jason & James came to pick us up for dinner at a nearby restaurant and then we went to Leisuremall for Raymond to buy his comics and then followed by foot reflex/massage at our usual joint. At about 9pm, the massage place was still very crowded!

Nick and friends came over to have a drink with us and then drove us to the JB custom and we managed to catch the last bus back to Singapore!

By the time I got home, Benderella's shoes were 1 minute short of turning into something else! Hahahahahaha!

We had lots of laughter's and fun throughout the day and this was the 1st time, I have brought both 'kids' into JB. Certainly hope they have had a good time, as well!
