Hello people.
I'm home from this tiring trip to Johor.
Go ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the way there just for a wedding reception.
And had to stay there for 2 nights. Like, what?!
Besides wasting time there, I managed to see that, in 3 days,
Johor people, I meant the girls, their fashion... mostly influenced by Koreans?
All, I mean, ALLLL their clothing shops sell those kind of clothes!
Well I don't know about other shopping mall,
but the nearest to my hotel, Sutera Mall, have no branded stores at all.
Like you know, those recognizable brands like Giordano or Voir or Elle or Padini...
NONE. All they have are random stores selling Korean inspired clothes.
Alright... that aside. This trip is so freaking tiring.
Who's idea to suggest ME to drive?
My car so kelian have to go to such distance from KL to Johor...
Freaking 300+km weh.
It even trembles when I tried to speed exceed 110km/h.
And my poor right leg. God.
Do you know how much I stepped on the brakes on the way home?
Uncountable. Who the hell invent the brake pedal to be so high up and front compared to the accelerator pedal? Freaking tiring keep spamming on brakes.
Why? Stupid jam from Melaka all the way to Nilai.
I had to like, brake, accelerate and brake and accelerate... argh!
And we don't even know what cause the jam.
No freaking accident, no nothing. Suddenly smooth back after Nilai turning.
The hell?
Okay fine, I'll stop complaining, but I'll keep it short 'cos my back and shoulders are aching from the drive and I'm very very tired. How I wish I can take leave for tomorrow....
Anyway, we embark on our journey to Johor around... 3pm on Friday.
Reached there around... 7+pm.
Reached hotel almost 8pm. Then eat dinner with my sis-in-law's family.
(Well they're not my in-laws) They don't even speak cantonese. Or English.
And you know. That awkward moment begins.
BORED. And I don't enjoy eating with a bunch of acquaintances.
It just feels weird, and you won't be able to act like yourself,
and you wouldn't dare to eat alot.
'Cos there are 12 of us and there's only around 5 dishes.
Kinda too little if you ask me...
Anyway, the food are so normal looking that I don't even care to take any pics.
So... finally we reached hotel at 12am and hit the sacks at 1am.
On Sat we woke up at around 8am.
Then wash up until 9am, eat breakfast at Hua Mui restaurant.
Something like... Old Town white coffee-ish restaurant,
so it's kinda so-so for me.
Then walked around Sutera Mall after breakfast.
and at that time the shops are not even opened!
I can almost see a random hay blown by the wind.
But I guessed it's okay when the stores opened around 10am+.
during lunch time, we ate at this Hakka restaurant called Ke Ren Lai.
Not that bad, but 100% lose to Ying Ker Lou.
Ying Ker Lou taste way better.
Then back to hotel to wash up again,
Then brother fetch us to walk around the mall at 3pm.
Like, Jusco (or Aeon, but meh.) Bukit Indah.
Walked around there, and stopped by Lavender Bistro.
My parents drank jasmine rose tea, while I ordered Peach Soda.
This is. NICE. Like, you know, being a fan of peach,
I would love to try whatever associated with peach.
And this drink taste like its name. Carbonated peach drink. Yum.
My brother fetch us to the wedding reception at around 5pm.
It's at horizon hills, the clubhouse in there.
That's my dad's head. Haha.
Overall it looked cosy and cute.
But I was wrong. The place, since 6pm,
it froze my family. Like, in a fridge.
Freaking cold!
And I don't even have a scarf with me. I'm so buying one this week!
Anyway, I wore my hideous green dress, and sat there waiting since then.
The thing didn't start until 8.15pm,
so by then you know how grumpy I felt.
My back is aching from sitting so straight up.
The chairs there are quite straightened and I can't even sit unladylike.
So. I was aching. Badly.
But by then the food arrived so I perked up a whole lot more.
And it's so fun to have my own plate.
You know, usually when we have to attend these kind of dinner,
we are sat according to tables.
And they serve like one big bowl of something,
and we had to be quick with our hands.
Otherwise, the food will be finished by other people sitting at the same table.
Sucks rite?
But being at the Main table isn't so bad.
We have our own plate of food so we don't have to worry about not getting our share.
Well, here are the pictures of food I ate on Saturday night.
No further explanations. A picture speaks a thousand words.
Well. Looks good. I ate 3 of those puddings. I'm so gaining weight.
'Cos my dad can't eat sweet stuff and my brother is so busy he don't even have time to eat his dinner. So I chowed down his dessert without him knowing. Hehe.
Owh, before I forget, here is a picture when the couple poured champagne.
(And I have to go on stage to shout "Yam Seng")
That's all for Saturday night.
We ended up reaching hotel at 12am again and sleeping at 1am.
Sunday we're a tad late, I woke up at 9am, and my dad followed suit.
While my mum had been staring at the ceiling since 7am.
And kept complaining she's hungry.
But we ended up eating at 10am at the same kopitiam.
'Cos we scouted around Sutera Mall and none of the restaurants are open.
Then we returned to hotel and wait for check out,
and wait for my brother to come to guide us to the highway.
At 12pm, my brother asked to eat lunch with us.
And at that time we're so full that we can't eat anything extra,
but my mum said ok anyway.
We went to Tang Shifu around 1pm,
and ended up not eating any rice. Just stuff ourselves with abalone,
scallops... fish maw. Sea cucumber. Blah.
But here's my favourite. The drink I ordered.
It's aloe vera with royal jelly drink.
It quenches my thirst pretty quickly,
and it's cooling and tasty too. But a little too sweet.
(That's my sunglasses, 'cos it's so freaking HOT at Johor.)
After lunch, my parents went to a jewellery store to buy a ring and a bracelet for the couple.
And I ended up bored.
They bought them, but had to wait 'cos the ring's size need to be adjusted.
By the time they're done it's already 3pm.
And the time when we reached the highway junction, it's almost 4pm.
(I curse my brother for not letting me reach home at 5pm. I missed out one 2 days 1 night episode! ARGH!!!!)
And after the accursed jam I mentioned earlier, I reached home almost 9pm.
And now here I am, typing this lengthy post while massaging my aching shoulder.
Ah! Time to hit the sacks!
Chiaoz people!
