My TrIp 2 Jb
On the 12th December, all of us woke up early so that we could go out earlier and avoid the traffic jams as it was a Saturday. I woke up at 9am, got ready and had my breakfast. When all of us were ready, we went out. We then meet my cousin at Yew Tee Square at the money changer. After that, we took the MRT to Kranji. It was already 10.28am when we were in the train to Kranji. When we finally reached Kranji, we saw a long queue at the 170 bus, the bus that we were supposed to take. We didn’t expect the queue to be that long so we made a decision to take the Yellow bus that can take us from Kranji to the Woodlands Checkpoint as the queue was shorter. After our passports was checked, we went to take bus 170 from the Woodlands Checkpoint to the Johor Checkpoint. The crowd to take the bus was bad that we had to squeezed through just to take the bus. When we boarded the bus, we didn’t get a seat so we had to stand. The journey to the Johor Checkpoint was long- it took longer than 30 minutes due to the traffic jams caused by the number of cars. My legs got so tired that it hurt from standing in the bus. Not only that, we all became sleepy that we kept on yawning and we also became hungry.
When we finally reached the Johor Checkpoint, we had to queue up to get our passports chopped. After that, we went to City Square to eat our lunch cum breakfast as we were very hungry. By the time we finished eating it was around 12.50pm and my sister said that we only can checked into the hotel by 2pm so while waiting for time to pass by, we walked around City Square and bought some snacks. When the clock strike 2, we made our way to the hotel which wasn’t that far from the mall. When we checked into the hotel, I began taking lots of photos and of course checked the bathtub. The room was really nice, relaxing & beautiful. We got the connecting rooms so it was easier for us. I began playing with the curtain and checking almost everything in the room before I jumped on the bed like someone who has never seen a bed before! I was so happy and excited that I couldn’t settle down and stop taking photos.
After we settled down and had enough rest, we decided to dip into the pool at 5.16pm. We changed into our swimming attire and went down from level 14, our floor, to level 2, where the pool was. We didn’t expect that the water would be soo cold that me, my sister and my cousin were shivering in less than 10 minutes. Our bodies didn’t feel that cold but our teeth was shattering till it was difficult for us to talk. That was the first time my teeth was shattering non-stop! Too bad, the pool was 1.35m high which was close to my height and I couldn’t swim so I had to hold onto the side of the pool. When we actually wanted to swim for around 1 hour, we ended up coming out of the pool after only swimming for around 20 minutes!
At around 5.35pm, we got ready to go to Danga Bay to eat our dinner- seafood! My sister’s friend will be driving us there. We reached the place at around 8.30pm. The place has this old village feeling whereby there were a few small houses made of wood. In the houses, there are chairs and tables for us to sit and enjoy our meal. Boy, was I full! After that, we went to Carrefour. Luckily, the Carrefour closes at 11pm so when we reached at 10pm, we still had 1 hour to buy things. We reached the hotel at around 11.30pm, rest & got ready for bed. I watched tv for a while before going to bed at 12 midnight.
My sister woke us up at 7am in the morning to eat our breakfast at the buffet on the 1st floor. We got ready and had our breakfast before going back in the room to rest. My mum and sis went back to sleep but me and my cousin didn’t. I played with my sister’s laptop while waiting for time to pass by as we would be checking out at 12pm. So I enjoyed those last few hours in the room. It was indeed a relaxing moment. When it was time for us to check out, I felt quite sad to leave the room. How I wish I could stay longer! When we had checked out of the hotel, we went to City Square to have our lunch at Sushi King and do some shopping before heading back home. I had a relaxing and fun moment there. I enjoyed every bit of it. That's all, tata!!!
