JB TRIP 2012 DAY 1

Hello! 
Just got back from my 3D2N Staycation/BirthdayParty at The Fullerton Hotel! 
Tons of photos to be filtered and processed. so stay tuned! 

--

We always had that BIG idea of heading out of SG with everyone in the group but it was put-off again and again because of our clashing schedules for school/work/NS. It was quite an impromptu decision when Anvy suggested Legoland and we managed to get 6 of us (A, Justin, GX, ZC & Anvy) that were free. Kudos to Anvy & GX for booking the hotel rooms and tickets to Legoland. Went researching on the food/things we could do after crossing the causeway once I was done with exams. 

DAY1: Checking in Hotel + Johor Premium Outlet + Danga Bay Seafood 

Met the rest at Woodlands Interchange at 8am and took about an hour and fifteen to finally cross the causeway. The road to JB was slightly jammed but still, I would say, quite a smooth one. 




Cleared Immigration and walked over to our hotel to check if we could get our rooms but it was still too early. Deposited our bags at the lobby and went for brunch. Googled about some dimsum place nearby and we decided to head over and try. But we were too late (reached about 10ish am) and most of the dimsum dishes were sold out. Grabbed the remaining ones and a bowl of fishball noodles each. 






Emptied within minutes. 

It was still early for check in so we went exploring the area and look out for any good food to try. Shopped a while and we headed to J.CO at City Square Mall for our usual chit chatting/camwhore sessions.


OLD SCHOOL PUBLIC TELEPHONE BOOTH



Streets of JB Sentral





and finally. it was 2pm.

GX booked us 3 rooms at Citrus Hotel and we got the bright orangey room. The rest of them got blue ones. Not bad for a 3 star Hotel, small room but it has almost all the basic necessities you need - Toiletries, TV, Bedside Lamp, blahblah. The only bad point is that they dont provide kettles. We had to  buy mineral water instead. 


Settled down and we continued our chit chatting sessions while we waited for the bus to Johor Premium Outlet. 




Went over to the Immigration Checkpoint and boarded JPO1 to Johor Premium Outlet. It's at the basement of the checkpoint, check with the securities, they can direct you:). 

The bus ride took us 45 mins to an hour at a one way trip rate of RM4.50 ( ~ SGD$1.8). 


HERE WE AREEEEE~~~~~~~







Was really hungry by the time we reached, so we started queuing up for crepe the moment we saw food.




I ordered Tuna & Cheese, while A got his fav, cookies&cream




why so cute.


After crepe-ing, we spilt up and went SHOPPINGGGGGGGGGGGGG! 





<3



you have to come JPO for their COACH Outlet. DAMN CHEAP. THEIR DISCOUNTED PRICES LIKE MAD. The wrinslet i bought for mumsy previously is selling at another 40percent lesser.

After shopping, Anvy & ZC suggested seafood at Danga Bay so we frantically searched for transport. Luckily, JPO1 back to JB Sentral passes by Danga Bay!


Bus Schedule back to Checkpoint


The guys started camwhoring while we waited for the bus








After a half & hour bus ride, we reached Danga Bay! Apparently Danga Bay is a waterfront recreation centre with shopping attractions and F&B. There are alot of seafood restaurants you can choose from, we just went ahead with the first one we saw - The Seafood Market.



Fresh Live Seafood! 









Amazing ambience









Quiet & Soothing Night View




The Lovebirds <3



ordered veges, clams, claypot braised tofu, fish, oysters. 
AWESOME DINNER










GX's pleased.

Thank you Danga Bay for the fresh seafood! Was already discussing with the rest to bring JJ Daryl SQ ++  back again for dinner! (prob before CNY)?? Cabbed back to the hotel as it was quite late. Freshened up and went over to Justin's room to chill! 


Beer & Peanuts!
