After planning for months to go to KUala Lumpur for a weekend , we decided on impulse to go to JB . G asked on Thursday , and we went to JB the next Sunday.
This is going to be a detailed rant, since We enjoyed every bit of my day out. We started at 7 in the morning , met at Sengkang MRT and we took a cab to Queen Street Bus Terminus . We looked for the yellow Malaysian cabs , and there were plenty. Offer was at 55$ for a cab to the city square mall . We took it , novice beginners!
It took us about an hour or so , to get past the Singapore immigration , the vehicle checks and the Malaysian immigration and to the mall. We arrived at about 9 , a so we had breakfast at a local coffee place . The dosa and the egg Prata turned out just awesome , the Prata wasn't anything like the ones we get in SG, new found respect for egg Prata !
We saw a temple , and decided to pop in . There were 2 weddings that day , we left after watching the first wedding . The style and the decor of the Malaysian Indian bride and groom is something of a sight !! Tres different !!
Next stop was City Square Mall , as expected it's a replica of the SG malls , prices almost on par with SG , what a waste !!
We got a cab and asked to be taken to the Danga Mall , the cab driver said it's not good , so we decided to skip , and tried the KSL City Expo . We ended up buying shoes at fairly reasonable prices, much lesser than SG. Shoes for less!!
The mall housed a Tesco hyper mart , where we stocked up on some household items . Do I need to mention it's groceries for less , of course la!!
Lunch came next , we had some light lunch at KFC , did I say Light lunch ?
After lunch , we decided to do some serious shopping , we took a cab and asked to be taken to the largest Jusco . None of us had data roaming , to surf and check . So, we relied on the local taxi for information , not a wise decision at all . We were shown to the Permas Jaya Jusco .
We arrived at the Aeon mall at Permas Jaya , and we were plainly confused , why it said Aeon and not Jusco . Anyways , we shopped there for clothes and household items . After going around and around , and gathering all that we liked , it was time to make final selections . That's when we discovered , the 70% off sale !!
Back again to the sections where they were running those sales , we helped one another choose and buy . It was a fun day shopping and talking and making fun of each other .
We took a cab from there to Larkin Bus Terminus taxi stand . There were absolutely no taxis , only fellows advertising for taxis for 20$ per head or 80$ per cab . If we were ready to pay 80$ , then we could board a can right then . If else , we keep waiting in a queue that never moved . We decided to take the cab at 80$ , plainly disappointed to be tricked. Long long journey which took about 2 hours and we finally arrived at Bugis . From Bugis , we took another can to get home . Came home to a quiet home ,all in bed and sleeping peacefully.
What a day it had been .
