Tomorrow (tommorow? whichever) morning, my dad will be driving us to Singapore. Our one-month stay limit in Malaysia is up soon and we have to extend for another one, by passing over the Malaysian border. 3 months hoppings from hotel to hotel, I MISS HOME (and seafood) T_T
~~~
Our itinerary is as follows: drive to Singapore through Johor Bahru border, follow a U-turn back to Johor, then stay the night at Melaka (where yummy food comes from!) .
The reason why we aren’t staying in Singapore instead, is not because I don’t want to meet Tingal (wrong).
It’s more because the (unfortunate) times my father did drive us to Singapore and stayed, we either got lost for hours trying to find our way back (he doesn’t know Spore streets well, and by well I mean, at all), or that one time, we brought in way too many cans of Carlsberg and got hold back at the immigration. Sure, 10 cans of beer grants suspicion for smuggling activity after all, LOL.
The last time, my lil brother, Tommy, actually had to stay at the Johor immigration office for an hour while we did our U-Turn. His new passport was apparently too new as it didn’t have the stamps to prove that he ever crossed the ocean from Indonesia to Malaysia (duh!). The officer insisted that my brother couldn’t pass the border. He ended up spending the entire time watching an old Indonesian telenovela playing on TV. Who knew that immigration office can double as a daycare center.
Anyway, crosses fingers and hope this time, it turns out O.K. ~ 
FOOD, food, and MOAR food~ here we come!

If that happens again, just tell them you know me and they’ll bow down to you and let you p-a-s-s, shivering in fear. XD
Anyway, take care stef! Have a nice time traveling! XD

WHAT?!!! Steffi is in Singapore!!! Steffffffffffffffffffffffffffffii!!
The school I am working at is in Woodlands, which is the first town u will end up in, if you come in from Johor Bahru via the causeway!!!
Steffiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, where are you?!
I only read this post on the 12th. Hmpf. Okay guys, I am going around the island now to find MY steffi.

OH. Before I left my place, I read this post again.
“Our itinerary is as follows: drive to Singapore through Johor Bahru border, follow a U-turn back to Johor, then stay the night at Melaka (where yummy food comes from!).”
She’s here for a…a…a…
U-turn.

Steffiiiii, why u-turn only? you should stay a day or two, and visit me
going back Medan this June?
April 13th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
WHJ, your mantra didn’t work!!!!
badtz, Tommy didn’t join us this time. He was still in the boarding school, but even if he did come, I bet the immigration office would have found a new reason to keep us behind. They have numerous of different reasons in store every time XD
Ilfina~ hi hi, girl! I wanted to, but it’s already night time when we reached Johor. It’d be very tiring had we gone straight to Spore only to stay the night and came back the next morning, no? And I still had my hotel room in KL :/
I’d go to my grandparents’ anniv in June, so… MAYBE hehe. What about u guys?? How is NTU?~ I heard that a certain someone *ahem* is in relationship now~ ;D
TINGAL!!!!!!!! Hey, when we reached the Spore immigration, the first thing I saw was a policeman wearing a shirt with ‘WOODLANDS BLABLA’ written on it. If only I knew you were SO NEAR!!!!!!
Actually I stopped by 7-11 too and bought a bunch of Singaporean Panadol before heading back. HEHE.

HEY it worked for Tingal!
April 14th, 2008 at 4:25 pm

April 18th, 2008 at 1:26 pm

Really!!?!
You sure that person’s not me? :X
SG panadol? HAHA. We gave you so much headache, huh?
April 19th, 2008 at 6:58 am
WHJ, maybe it doesn’t work for Indonesians………………
Lily, thanks!
Despite all the major put offs, it turned out to be quite exciting~
Badtz, yeah. He was actually delighted not to join us in the trip :X
Tingal, 100%. Unless you’re actually a 40 something Hello Kitty loving guy………………………………………. XD
