JB revisited

Yikes just only realised I forgot to blog about my trip to JB and INTI!!! soooo sorry those who were waiting for my blogs on it!! And now feel even worse cos i don't have any photos about the two events! Lol maybe subconsciously i didn't want to do any blog without photos .

Ok lets start with the JB one.

Umm lets see i took a bus down which was as usual, late. late going there, late arriving, even stopped at a bus graveyard to switch buses!! siao. remind me never again to take Trans. Cepat Express better. i think. So i reached around noon, where i went for some lunch! of course i won't settle for anything less than the famous paper wrapped chicken. Unfortunately Tamy was on a chicken diet so i got forced to finish most of it.

One of the places i visited was the zoo. zoo. Yes, zoo. and the only reason i went was because there was absolutely nothing to do, plus i haven't been to a zoo in years. My mistake. I haven't been to a MALAYSIAN zoo in years.

This is one of the nicer pics of the zoo. Lions! Always reminds me of Lion King.

The stupid ki siao zoo ah... so lousy!! example = the deer there looked like leprous deer, while there were actually repainting the animal cages WITH THE ANIMALS STILL INSIDE!!!!. Cages? yalo.. the stupid kuno zoo still uses cages. what a waste of RM 2.00.

I also tried some chicken chop which was said to be the best in JB. Its at Roos (I think only the JBians will know this place) where i also sesat to go there. I also had a walk down Jalan Wong Ah Fok (is that how you spell it?) where about 1 out of 50 ppl get mugged. sommore that day only 30 ppl on the jalan! siao. I tell you, the whole time i was sweating bullets lol.

Of course i also had the famous JB kuey teow kia. Basically its kuey teow stewed with pig's innards, served with pig's innards. But as the JBians say, the auntie of the stall very clean one! she cleans out the shit of the intestines! Seriously.

Hmm.. i had a very interesting experience meeting other ppl too. I met with Tamy's cousins (Sean, Nick and Chloe). Don't ask me why they're named in this order cos Nick is the oldest one lol. But they're such a nice bunch, always laughing alot. No wonder Tam'y like it back home. Hmm.. if i went to my cousins place in 2 minutes we would be having an all-out PS2 war!! haha..

Oh yes, i also went to the Istana park. I think thats what its called. It the old palace grounds that used to belong to (who else?) dead Sultans of Johor.

This is a run down building. Basically all i could see were ruins and parks. i give it 20/100 for places to visit and 65/100 to visit with a girl

I have many memorable moments in JB. like seeing Tamy again, or meeting new people, or seeing Moonshine (no not whiskey, its a dog!), or watching I Am Legend lol.

But on thing that will always stick in my mind is-

MY STUPID COLD! the WHOLE time i was there i was either suffering from some degree of flu or other such stupid nose disease!! kanasai!!! so sad.. i must be allergic to JB air haha.

in the end (due to the cold?) i accidentally left my towel there, forgot to thank the hosts, and came back - with a cold.

But had a great time =)

P.S. i read this book - DSC00919 - and was wondering if anyone could help me find a copy?
