The Breakaway part 2

.. On the second day of our breakaway, we start as early as 7.00 am where we had breakfast at the hotel and move to the next visiting place at about 8.00 am. Have to go though two sets of Immigration check. The local one is not that long and difficult but the second one we spent nearly half an hour waiting for our turn.

So where is this next destination for our breakaway? I know most of you must know this place.

Guess it right? Yes we went to Singapore for a half day shopping trip. Hubby and yours truly was hopping for a site seeing trip but we were out numbered by those who want to go for shopping.

(pssst..ignore the fat toe)


We were dropped at this place and we went our own way looking for what we are looking for. Hubby and me walk a long the street hopping to find a beautiful place but being a so called "tourist", we don't dare to go further (takut sesat tidak dapat balik Sabah bah). So what we do, we walk, went in all the shopping complexes that we found (for the air-condition that is and also to look for place to sit), do some souvenir shopping at Lucky Plaza (The only place we spend our Sing Dollar), took picture (which you can see most of it in my facebook) and that's it. Not a very interesting journey eh but at least I can boost that I've been to Singapore. *clap..clap..*

(me resting)

Went back to JB at about 3.00 pm with a long queue at the Singapore Immigration (according to the tourist guide, it is a normal phenomena there) and again almost half an hour at the check out counter. Gosh I don't dream to work in Singapore and stay in JB if I have to go through this everyday.

We had our dinner here and went for a walk and some shopping at the shopping complex inside this place called The Zone (a free duty shopping complex in JB).



The following day, we went for the Sunday Mass at this Church, an old but beautiful Church.

Went for a short shopping at Kotaraya and start packing for our Journey home. Indeed this is a short Breakaway but I really enjoyed it and looking forward for the next trip. They said I am already qualified for next year’s trip; it is a matter of getting a higher reward. Keep fingered crossed.

Q, glad you liked Singapore. It's my favorite shopping paradise. You should go when they have the grand sale, so cheap! Cheaper than KL, even after the currency conversion. Bah, when you come to KL, let me know la.. maybe next trip kan?

I went there when they were having their National day sales. 43% discount..but went they when the bonus was not bank in yet so can't really enjoy the shopping

Will inform you should we go to KL but maybe the next trip will be to Langkawi 1st since i've never been there. Nama saja sekolah di shah alam dulu. :)
