Hoho, boy was I afraid when I made my way to Msia checkpoint for the first time in a long time. You know like following people and acting like you know the way. And so I reached Msia not knowing how it would actually turn out after I left the Msia Customs.





On first glance it struck me that it certainly does not resemble anything like Singapore. Touts are all avaliable asking people for taxis, beggars all around. Certainly an eye opener just coming out of Spore like 55mins ago. The first thing I did while waiting for Ren Sun's car was to buy a chewing gum from the Mobil station and started chewing the 'forbidden fruit'. Boy was it damn shiok, cheap thrills are always the most satisfying don't you know? :)





And so I waited like 10 minutes before RS arrived at the Mobil station just outside the checkpoint and it was great to have him to be the guide cause I'm like a noob in Msia. The roads are very perplexing and you can get lost the minute you start driving cause there are so many small roads around the place.





It was almost 1130am when I saw him and he brought me straight for a good authentic Msian lunch.

His study/gaming room and my bed for the night lol.

So we went to this place Leisure Mall near his place to play some arcade and showed me around. The stuff are really much cheaper as compared to Spore so I grabbed the chance and got all my medical supplies and some tolietries from the Giant inside the mall. Shiok!

Leisure Mall

Haha. King Surf LAN SHOP. Very high class this LAN Shop and has 3 levels, all LCD screens. At RM 2.50/ hr and having a damn wide array of games avaliable is damn worth it. We had a few rounds of DOTA together but we went back like a few times haha. Addiction to the games. NFS Carbon, FIFA 08 etc. Damn fun, we had endless laughs.

Look at RS. So stress over playing games. The winning mentality!

Soon we got tired and left KS and went to have some dessert. I was amazed by the selection of ice creams in the MAC inside the mall. Very different from Spore and comparatively better in taste and price!

Presenting the Banana Toffee Sundae. The white ice cream is STRONGLY flavoured with banana essence and it really is a delicious pairing made in heaven. Cheap THRILLs are always the best. Damn SHIOK x 2 ;p.

It was around 6pm when RS's mom called and asked us to settle our dinner ourselves cause she was going to eat with his uncle and aunties who came over to their house. Having just ate the ice cream, we were damn thirsty so he drove me to City Square, this posh shopping mall near the customs to walk around first and at the same time waste more energy so that we could have a better appetite. We walked around the entire mall and I bought Men's Health cause the edition was interesting @ 4.50SGD (CHEAP) having an artice on Padma Lakshmi

And so I wondered how cheap could stuff be in Msia? I found out that not everything was as cheap as expected. Branded stuff of mainstream brands like Adidas cost almost the same as that in Spore, almost no difference. Only the F&B (mostly) are cheaper. So I suggested we go have a drink cause my throat was hurting from the indulgence of toffee earlier without drinking water after that. So we went to Starbucks and I bought 2 Dark Mocha Frappe. RM 16.00 for the venti size. So its like $1 SGD cheaper compared to Spore. SHIOK. The cheesecakes were mostly RM7.90 per piece. Also $1 SGD cheaper. Haha, heaven for cheesecake lovers. I saw other version of cheesecakes that were not readily seen in Spore like Belgian Cheesecake and this Triple Layer Cheesecake (consisted of tolberone,mocha and cheese). In the end we didn't buy any cheesecakes cause we would not have space for dinner later.

Dark Mocha Frappe!

We were supposed to look for cheap jerseys in 'Holiday Plaza' but it seems like the shops disappeared. Too bad. But we saw loads of pirated shops there. I guess they give 'coffee' money to the cops. Open so brazenly in the mall, if it were Spore, it would have been raided within the hour. Haha.

And it was dinner/supper time!

Ikan Bakar and a variety of other foods. Eat until puke. Both of us including auntie and her sister staying in the house at supper and talked non stop. Her mom is damn power, quadlingual person. Dia boleh cakap bahasa cina, inggeris, melayu dan canto. Baiklah la Mak Cik! His landed property living room

His secret gaming room just behind the kitchen. This computer is placed beside a fridge, how convenient can.

We continued watching Euro on his telly until about 315am and we were damn shag and hit the sack immediately. Woke up this morning at 10am and pergi ke pusat komputer King Surf to have another round to DOTA. Addicted to it cause the LAN place is damn nice and cheap.

Before leaving for Spore, we went to eat Jap food near the vicinity of the KS LAN shop. Again, we spent only 25SGD and ate like kings there. Ate unagi, potato croquettes, tofu and many more. How enjoy. LOL.

Sangat murah daripada singapura.

That was it. One day in Msia Pelangi area and it was another 1hr 30 min back to Tampines from Woodlands via 168. Damn fast and efficient. Love it.

Till i blog again ..
