On Sunday I was told by Junwei to be his backup photographer.He's the main one lah,he told me some of the main people to shoot(not literally,I mean shoot with the camera,duh!),I'll just follow.
Anyway the Kids Jumble Sale is so much fun!It makes me a

Last Saturday and Sunday were one of the best days I enjoyed so far.With Johor trip on the Saturday and Kids Jumble Sales on Sunday,I can hardly get myself a breather.
I shall start off with the JB trip first,but let me warn you first: The post you're going to see contains tons of photos that may cost saliva dripping(maybe not),nevertheless,please enjoy.
I must thank Weijie for introducing me the program to downsize my photos.If not,I'll be spending the whole day resizing it and make my head burst.
It's a pity Elvin couldn't join us for the Johor trip due to his work.Screw the company for their lack of welfare!Why make the life of the Singaporean so difficult?There's always time for everything.Please think for the workers in the company and stop playing golf(always the case,isn't it?).
Weijie overslept during the day,causing us to start the trip quite late.We began the trip at around 11.15am,where the queue at the Malaysia Custom is packed like sardine struggling for oxygen.The air-con seems to be not working and was replace by fans which doesn't seems to be effective.Like it or not,this has to be the only way,unless you own a vehicle.
After half an hour of waiting,we finally made ourselves to Johor.The City Square is the place that every Singaporean will go.However I recommend you all to shop elsewhere instead,because the price over there is almost the same as what Singapore offers.
We start our appetizer at the "旺角茶餐厅",which I thought is a rather rare find in Johor until I saw the same one in Holiday Plaza.Stupid me.Now everywhere is infested with the 茶餐厅.
The waitress is rather friendly when we ordered our food.When we asked her about the drinks,she even briefly describe how the drinks are like and give us some "warning" before taking that order.That's very kind of her.They nearly ordered the "Black Spider".According to her description is some kind of drinks with herbs in it.
The total cost is around $6 SGD per person.With food like this that give us a full stomach.It's really worth the price.
Afternoon is another session of food feast.This time we went to Plaza Pelangi for Stonegrill lunch.We took a cab which eventually cost us $6 RM.Taking a cab from place to place is a necessity,especially in such a busy traffic in Malaysia.
After a lunch in the restaurant,I started to change my impression I looked at the Malaysians.They provide a service which can best the Singaporean.When they charge you 10% for service tax,they really mean it!Whereas in Singapore 10% service is sub-standard.I didn't meant to say bad about our service in Singapore,and I still believe our service can still be improved.
Maybe I have a "grass is greener on the other side" mentality.
Speaking of service,the waiters even helped the customers to cut and cook the food for them!Impressive eh?
The last stop is a dinner at some place which I can't remember.We didn't went to Sentosa(not in Singapore on lah!) which many people recommend,but the food there is still as good.
The stingray cost only $16 RM!I believe others can find me a cheaper one,but what the heck!Just be happy okay?
I just don't like people being so calculative when comes to meal like this.As long as they don't charge me $40 RM for a stingray,I fine with it.Kenna chop head for the price of the food?Let it be lah!I rather find a travel mate that is not calculative.
We didn't order the crab because we know we'll never finish it.
So far the places that we went:
City Square --> Plaza Pelangi --> Holiday Plaza --> Unknown Zi Char store
The things I've bought from all 3 places:
1 Polo Tee,1 T-shirt,3 pairs of socks,1 Mango gummy,1 Keropok,3 Bubble gum and 1 Tao Sha Pia.
Well,I still have some leftover cash that can be use in my next Malacca trip.It will be at the 8th December and Kelvin Fok is yet to confirm.Don't put me aeroplane again please!

After watching Project Superstar on Channel U today(yesterday I miss the female contestant match thanks to William.Grrr....),there's some conclusion I want to make:
1.The introduction part of the male competition is so campy!As they were self introducing themselves,they were like doing funny stuff like playing cocktail bottle,candles,etc...After all those introduction,I thought I was switching a show of matchmaking competition.
2.The guys were so-so during their performance.I know it takes time for them to improve,but after listening to the 3rd contestant singing,it sort of bringing the competitive level to a new high.The rest of the 5 contestants were either sing too flat,or too restless. Worse of all,they sang the same volume all the way.Give me some feeling to the song guys!
3.I find the judges dressed too hip for the show.It just makes them like "act young buay young" kind of adult.I rather see the judges dressed up mature enough to show some aura on themselves.Maybe Dawn Yip dressed up slightly better than the rest,in my opinion.
Nevermind,we still have another 2 sets of contestants next week.Hope they can do better than the contestants this week.

If you tend to board the MRT almost everyday like me to study or work,you will never miss the advertisement on TV regarding the bombing threat from a suspicious item.
Come to think of it,will the terrorist really bother to put a suspicious item inside the train,gets off and activate the bomb?Come on,before he/she walks out of the train,people may have called him/her and call the MRT staff to remove it.
Little did they know that the terrorist may have the tendency to ignite the bomb even when they're inside the train,so that when things happen,they cannot trace the source of the bomb.Even when they caught this person on the CCTV,that person may have already died with the crowds.
You think terrorist are not afraid to die?So what we do to prevent such situation?
