First Time to Johor Bahru

Alright so here I am. Back to back-blogging. Hehe =) 

Last December me and my family went on a vacation to KL and JB. It was our first time to JB. My best friend had moved over there few years ago and I've been wanting to visit her but never did until then. Me, my mom and my bro flew off to KL a night before we head down to JB. Crash at my aunty's place and we woke up to awesome breakfast!

Winter soltice season was so coincidently fell on our first day at KL. My aunty made some glutinous ball for us. I love this dessert! Prefer it plain and dip into the mixture of peanut and sugar. Thank you Nong Ee~~

Then my aunty dropped us at the nearby bus station and we took the bus down from Tasik Selatan Bus Terminal to Larkin Bus Terminal at JB.

Bus rate was RM31 per adult. It was a roughly 4-5 hours ride. Thank God the weather was good.

Halfway during the journey, the bus came to a resting area and we had our lunch there. Nothing much. Chicken rice was the best choice available. Because we were already in Johor state, most of the food were Malay. Can't remember which station was this but it's not far away from Muar city.

About 2 hours later, we finally reached Larkin Bus Terminal. Waited there for my dear friend, Fung to pick us up for dinner. Time to hunt for JB food!

We were brought to some mamak stall. The best food is always found at mamak stalls. Hehe This is the addition-since-Penang-trip to my all-time-favourite list of food. The Hokkien mee! I just love the sweet and sour paste. Hehe =P

Time to savour! Oh damn I'm feeling hungry right now! You know the hard thing about being a blogger isn't about not getting paid, but it's about how you deal with food blogging at 12 midnight!

This was introduce by Fung. It's JB local food. The Mian Fen Gao. Made of flour into pieces like Kueh Chap but it's not. Ingredients are mani chai and anchovies. They have it in dry and soupy. I opted for the soupy one although I always prefer dry food. Er....I don't know why I chose soupy one also. Hmm....Must be brain-malfunctioned.

Oh wait! I forgot to comment, it was ok ok la. So so only. I prefer Hokkien mee than this soupy Mian Fen Gao.

And some lok lok. Oh love! Their lok lok even includes You Char Kueh!

The local sotong kangkung. Not much different than ours. Only their paste is more sticky. Hehe

Some dessert my mom ordered for all of us.

After dinner we just went back home to unpack and rest for next day. It had been a tiring day in the bus ride. Plus, next day we're going into Legoland. So we need the energy recharge. Hehe

Next morning, we went for full breakfast before heading to Legoland for the excitement!

This time I gave the dry Mian Fen Gao a good try. When I put the first spoonful into my mouth, I was like "Shit why did I even order the soupy one last night?!" Haha! I love it the moment I tasted this! It's my favourite JB local food! Yes I'm declaring that. So to those of you who never try this before, give it a go! Two thumbs up from me!

Ah and then I found Chee Cheong Fun. This is also my all-time favourite food. Love it no matter the Penang style or the KL style or the Hong Kong style. Love it all ways!

Damn I think I need to go search for food now. Shouldn't write this post at this hour =.=''' Wait up for my Legoland post ok? It's gonna be a very very long one with tons of photos! Til then~ Good night!

Friends and Effort

Image
Friends. They come and go. Everyone cross path with you for a reason. Either to be your lifelong dependable friend or just to teach you a lesson. Some come and go as quick as the quicksand. Some stayed on for couple of months and take their departure once the mission completes. While some, is just a phone call away since day one.  So how do you know who belongs to which category?  The answer is, you don't. Living for 30 years, having friends for as long as 20 years, I realised that it is all about the effort. The phrase, 'It takes two to tango' is so accurate that it can even predict the rainy and sunny days. What kind of effort are we talking about here? We're talking about the effort to make friend(s) and keep up the effort to make that friendship last with even the smallest step. Have you ever thought about the effort you make? What did you do to keep that friendship? Or the effort your friend(s) made to meet up, to call, or merely just a simple text...

Dr Sun Yat-Sen's Resident

Chinese New Year is officially over. Gotta roll back to normal work days no matter how much you hated it. But well, it's another start! So heads up peeps! Stay strong for year 2011!!! The best has yet to come! Does anyone here knows who is the first president of China? Let me bring you back to history =D I'm a sucker in history subject in school but I think this vacation had taught me alot about China's history. I get to know who is the president, who is the patriot and who else is who. Some of you may say that this is boring but I think what's boring is just texts on books. Try going to a school where they bring you all over the historical place. I'll tell you it's fun! I'm lazy to introduce much. If you want more info, you can always ask Google. Haha! Here is Dr Sun Yat Sen's house in Guangzhou when he was young. Man this house stood there for over 200 years!!!! He was a Chinese doctor who then known as the Founding Father of Republican China...

Random Updates 12-07-2011

I feel like a lost lamb now. I just want to crap everything out and off. You know how life can be at crossroads at times? But man, mine isn't at crossroad now. It's as if I walked into a dark forest and can't find my way out. I've been feeling down and stressed and I don't know, maybe even depressed. I don't know who to talk to about this stuff. I can't talk about it to people around me cos they will all say about the same old stuff. What am I talking about? It's my career, my future. Previously I have goals and aims and future dreams. But it seems to have shattered into pieces cos certain reasons keep pulling me back. Back in secondary school, I dream of becoming an accountant. A chartered accountant just so I can do the easy job. Sign the documents and get paid for my signature. How easy is that and how stupid I was to even think that it's an easy course. So off I went to major in accounting and my life was peaceful. It was until college that eve...
