Its just 6 in the morning and I’m ready to go. Where am I going at such an early time of the day? As the title implies, I’m going to Johor. Well, Johor is Singapore’s nearest neighbour and it’s one of Singaporeans favourite weekend getaways. Anyway, before going to Johor, we’ll be going to Jurong to board the bus.
The first 2 hours were agonising, for we’re stuck at the damn causeway for more than an hour! And to make matters worst, there’s a long queue at the immigration counter. Once we’re at Malaysian territory, we went to a coffee shop for our breakfast. Subsequently, we’re at a Pewter factory to learn how to make Pewter products (btw, Pewter is a very expensive metal alloy consisting of tin, copper and lead and Malaysia is the world’s largest producer of Pewter). Next, we’re at a durian plantation in Kulai for the most important event of the day, which is to have a durian lunch! Besides durians, there’s also a free flow of watermelons and mangosteen for us to splurge on and I’ve got to say its one of the best “fruit feast” that I’ve ever had. After the durian lunch, the bus driver drove us to an aquarium and its quite a boring attraction, so I will not elaborate more on that. In the evening, my sis and her friends went to have a shot at go-kart while I followed my mum to Jaya Jusco for some shopping. The shopping is quite lame for us as my mum only bought 6 packets of those thick yellow noodles which is very cheap. For dinner, we’re at a chinese restaurant for another round of “food feasting” (we’d shark’s fin soup, cuttlefish kangkong, “cold plate”, Asam Fish, salt chicken and butter prawns).
At the end of the day, we can only say that the $18 we paid for the 1-day tour is very well spent. Ha ha
