Twinkle Star...

holiday... not that it makes a difference to me but at least there are people who are free and would go to JB with me. *heh* i was supposed to meet candice on 170 then go to the checkpoint together but we missed each other cos of the very lack sms system. i didn't receive her sms that contain the bus plate number until i actually reach woodlands checkpoint all by myself!

this being my first attempt going to the checkpoint alone, i kinda screwed it up a lil... *agrh* when the bus reached woodlands, i saw many people getting down at the station where it says "woodlands checkpoint". i didn't get down then as i remembered it being a very new building... but when the bus turned back into the woodlands, i thought that i had missed the stop! so i got off at the next station and walked all the way back to the old woodlands checkpoint... oh man. this should be the longest distance i have walked after i can walk! when i walked into the building... there's this sense of familarity so i felt that i was on the right track. seemed like i've been there before... well, it did led me up the stairs, into long corridors, turning in and out, up again, over overhead bridges, into long, dark corridors and out... why am i going to reach? don't remember having to walk soooo far! why don't i see my 2 long escalators? it was then that i saw the new building... but it was arrival hall. *agrh* my legs are breaking... after crossing the bridge, finally saw candice, angie and ronald!!! *phew* at least i was on the right track... just that it was a longer, older one... *heh*

we went straight to city square for pretzels... and lemonade! *yums* there's this new flavour - nori (seaweed).... super yummy. i'm quite a big seaweed fan ;p viv and deborah (one of their cell group member) were in holiday inn and we met them for dinner at 'da ma hua yuan' - "big horse garden" hee... as usual, we had 'zi cha'... stingray, sambal kangkong, sweet potato leaves, cereal prawns, fried oysters and GIANT cups of sugar cane and "luo han guo"...

after dinner, we walked to pelangi which was supposed to be nearby... it's the same kinda 'near' - like how it is calculated in thailand! well well, it started to rain for a mere few seconds on the way... i descibed it as "the cloud that has passed by"... then i wondered out loud: "what if the person is walking under the raining cloud?" then angie (who didn't hear me) echoed the exact same comment! great minds think alike yeah?

pelangi. it wasn't as impressive as city square but it still managed to keep us in till quite late... must be the factory outlet there... heh. after shopping, we went to secret recipe for desserts. THIS secret recipe outlet is one of its kind - it has got NO vanilla ice cream, NO lychee, NO yogurt... blah blah blah... 50% of what we ordered were unavailable! but i did manage to have my super delicious brownies!!! *yeah* ronald ate a lot today... after pretzels was dinner, then fries, secret recipe cakes and a fillet-o-fish! and after all that, he said that he can still eat... oh gosh.

we were still in pelangi at around 10 plus... but we made our way to the causeway soon. back in the singapore side, there's this detector machine that everyone has to pass through... i was worried at first thinking that i would sound off the alarm with the metal plate in my leg thus causing a commotion. it DID sounded when i went through it but there were too many people around for me to be noticed... hah.

it was past midnight when i reached home, and super super tired. zonking out soon.
