was on a run away for a couple of days to Singapore and Batam. i must say, it isn't spectacular as it must sound or feel like. just a short trip down to our neighbouring country. Singapore is just a country like Malaysia. but it is way much cleaner and more systematic. i'm always ammuse by the transport system and certain things that the government run their country.
the competitiveness of the citizens makes them grow even faster than many countries around this region. you may say is their 'kiasu-ness' that is pushing them forward. but hey... it's working. you can't complain much, but ahve admiration of them.
oh well... their city is just like our. shopping almost everywhere. what they lack is the historical background that non exsistance to them. 1963 isin't much of a ulu and kampung-ish era k...
on the first day, meet up with michael at night with christian and xiang. so happen they were all there. just a short yum cha session at Orchard road. then head on the Mustafa shopping mall, it is the only mall in Singapore that operates 24 hours a day. many things to buy, and you can go check it out.
2nd day, went to Batam, Indonesia with my friend. he's been bugging me since last year that he wanted to go, but never had the chance. and i sorta turn him down a couple of times. so yea, it was an opportunity, for him. Batam claims to have cheaper things than Singapore and famous for their prostitute and massage. and no! i didnt do what u thought of! the taxi driver laugh at us, when we say we wanted to go there for shopping. he said: 'no man goes Batam for shopping k!!' u looking at 2, @#^%$# idiot! disclaimer: i didn't engage in any sexual actitivity with the locals there. just body massage, which is pretty good. yea... nth else. seriously.
vivo city is nothing to shout about. all the shops are pretty much the same as we got in our very own megamall. before that, did some catching up with Min Chunn, so we had breakfast with him and his family and his gf. didnt' expect everyone to come. anyway, it was his convo on that day. finally flipping another phase of life for him. Congrats man! after that, went to meet my youngest bro, Eugene. he was having a competition there. shouldn't have went there, was robbed of 50 bucks! claims that mom didnt give him enough allowance. kids nowadays..
all in all, it was a pretty much hectic. rushing here and there.
grr... and i need to bath now to head out for my stupid malaysian studies class.
