Hello, everyone!

I am back for my day 2 JB travelogue.

So,

as for day 2, I woke up as usual early

but this time, I don’t have SH to

talk to me early in the morning like previously

what we did in Malacca.

We finally get our ass off the bed at around 9 plus

to head down for breakfast and get our toothbrush.

Both of us thought that the hotel would

provide toothbrushes for us, so in the end

we did not bring any.

However, we decided to have breakfast first

before going over to City Square Mall to get

out toothbrush. I know it is alittle gross

but stomach comes first.

We went for some local breakfast just opposite

the hotel with our PJs on.

I ordered a 2 pieces of egg prata while KG

ordered chicken beehoon goreng and both

of us shared a plate of nasi lemak.

After a fulfilling breakfast, we headed over to

City Square Mall to get our toothbrushes and

do some shopping over there.

We did a quick shopping at City Square Mall and

returned back to the hotel to wash up to

get ready for check out. I feel this is the time

that both of us get ready the fastest and

before 1pm, we are ready to check out of the room.

Next, we got a Grab to Holiday Plaza to get

handphone cases and screen protector. So far,

I feel that the cases and protector sold at there is

the most valued for money.

Then, we headed for some caffeine boost for KG

at one of the cafe adjacent of Holiday Plaza.

Doi Chang Signature Coffee

We sat down at the Doi Chang for a while

before heading over to KSL Mall. Did not really

buy anything at KSL Mall but went into the newly

opened Daiso and got some stuffs.

After Daiso, we went to 顺顺肉骨茶 for

early dinner before leaving JB.

It was really crowded and packed with people

and we had to share table with others.

It is just opposite KSL Mall near the KFC entrance.

We added abalone slice, meatball

and enoki mushroom

梅菜

My favourite 油条

The best combination is to have Bah Kut Teh

with dough fritters and must dipped it into

the soup. The taste of both the soup and

the dough fritter is really AWESOME!

After dinner,

we took a GRAB back to City Square Mall to

cross the bridge to the checkpoint.

We got a shocked of our life when we reached

the JB checkpoint, we thought the queue was horrendously

long but it was not for the regular counter. It was

those who paid for the MACS system. This time, clearing Malaysia immigration is much more faster then the other times we were there. We cleared both immigration within like an hour and took a bus to Woodland Temp Interchange to take a bus back.

I was too tired that I fell asleep on the bus ride

to Punggol. Luckily, I woke up in time to alight at

the bus stop, if not, I will be travelling to Tampines.

Alright!

This is the end of my 2D1N JB Travelogue.

Hope you enjoy it!

Hello everyone!

I have just came back yesterday from JB for a

really short trip before I start my work tomorrow.

This trip was planned with KG 小妹 and really appreciate her

efforts to book the hotel plus the train tickets from SG to JB Sentral.

The trip is a 2D1N trip just to chill, eat and shop in JB.

On my way to Bugis Junction to meet KG 小妹

I met 小妹 at around 2pm at Bugis Junction to have a quick lunch

and withdraw money for currency exchange in JB before heading over to

Woodland Train Checkpoint.

As usual, we had Ban Mian from the food court in Bugis Junction

and after lunch, we went to get KOI from Bugis Plus then head down

to Queens street to catch a bus down to Woodlands Checkpoint.

When we reach Woodland Checkpoint, we realised that there

isn't a link for us to reach Woodland Train Checkpoint from

the usual checkpoint route and we had to seek help from the ICA officer.

In the end, we had to hand over our passport in order to be

escorted out from Woodland Checkpoint and make

our way to the Woodland Train Checkpoint.

It was really joke but another memorable thing to remember.

We need to reach the Train Checkpoint 30 minutes before the train departs

which is at 1600 hours. However, when we reached there, we are not

allow to enter and there was a long queue. We were only allow to enter at around 1615

but it was rather fast in clear the immigration at the train checkpoint.

This is my first time taking the train into JB so it was really an eye-opener for me

when I saw that immigration clearance is done even before we take the train

to JB and it don't have to be done again when we reach our destination.

The duration of the train took about 5 minutes to reach JB Sentral.

The first thing we did when we reached JB was to exchange currency at one of

the money changer situated at City Square Mall then we went over to DIGI

to top-up 小妹's Malaysia's number so that we can call for GRAB to travel around.

GRAB was the only transport we used in JB other than walking and it is really accessible,

cheap and safe to travel by GRAB rather than the usual Taxi. At least,

we know that we won't be charge extra by using GRAB.

After getting everything done at City Square Mall, we headed over to the

street opposite City Square Mall where our hotel is situated.

We stayed in Citrus Hotel as recommended by 小妹 and I would say it is relatively good

hotel and is affordable as well.

After checking into our room, we got everything ready and left for Paradigm Mall

via GRAB. Paradigm Mall was quite a distance away from City Square Mall and KSL

but I feel that they are one of the biggest mall in JB having all the

big retail store like, H&M, Uniqlo, Adidas and Cotton On.

We went to one of the restaurant Arashi Shabu-Shabu in Paradigm Mall.

Everything was nice to us on the menu and we ordered 3 sets to share among us.

We ordered a beef shabu-shabu set, a teriyaki teppanyaki set and a bibimbap to share,

it was a relatively filling dinner.

After dinner, we walked around the Mall and headed to Padini, H&M, Uniqlo and Cotton On

for shopping. However, the H&M there was quite disappointing as there isn't much

to shop as compared to the one in City Square Mall. The only places we had

a good shopping was H&M, Uniqlo and Padini.

We also went to Popular bookstore and I was crazy over the pens there, I really wanted

to buy every Sarasa pens there. It was so beautiful and as compared to Singapore,

every affordable. Still, I bought the whole range of Sarasa pens to help me start up

my work on Monday.

Finally, I managed to customise my own passport cover at RM$23,

it was really nice and I love the colour so much.

Soon, our sweet tooth went in the way

of shopping and we went for some ice cream at Emack & Bolio's.

The both of us shared an ice cream cone together and wanting to go for a less intense one

but we order an intense flavour of Dark Chocolate with Chocolate Rice Cone.

With our ice-cream on hand, we continued our shopping around Paradigm Mall till 10pm

and all the shops started to closed.

We headed down to Sawadee Resort and Spa for massage and as we are not able

to have oil massage, we went for Thai massage instead.

It was pain and shiok at the same time.

Waiting for our masseurs to come in

The massage marks the end of our night as we headed back to the hotel

to rest for night. After returning the hotel and done with our washing up,

小妹 realised that the hotel don't give toothbrush and we had to go

get one the next morning.

It was really an enjoyable first day and I hope you will look forward to the second day

of fun, also our last day before heading back to SG in the evening.
