I wonder...

Sometimes I really wonder if we save more money on our day trips to JB or if we spend more heh heh. Went JB w Dar last Wed coz I had 1.5 days 2 clear which my boss told me wld b forfeited if I didn't clear my last week!!! I wanted to go in to catch a show, coz we hafnt watched a show in the cinemas for ages and it was much cheaper in JB hee.


Went in abt 11plus after much dilly dallying and Dar first went to check out some 4x4 shops as he wanted to get an extra tyre or something for Baby V. We then had lunch @ this coffee shop just around the corner; I ordered claypot mee and Dar ordered dry Ban Mian and the total cost was like 8RM!!! The food was q tasty too!!! En route to buy MIL's rojak supplies, we stopped @ The Store. There Dar bought those plain white shirts that he has been looking for for working on his boat @ 10RM per piece. I wanted 2 buy a top n pants but they didn't have my size but I did buy 2 pairs of shoes @ 45RM altogether!!! The uncle wanted 2 give me back extra 10RM but I was v honest haha :P As usual, Dar complained that I am forever buying shoes but hey they were cheap mahs!


MIL needed pineapples but the pineapples were all sold out!!! Thnk it was coz everyone bought to make pineapple tarts bah, but he managed to get the other stuff MIL wanted. Then it was off to wash the car n then to City Square. We wanted to watch Red Cliff but it wasn't showing yet so we decided to watch Ip Man instead. As we kept thnking that Tues was their Movie Day, so imagine our surprise when the bill for both tickets came up to 13RM!!! It was only after the movie that we realised that they've changed their Movie Day to Wed hee. After the movie, we decided to walk ard a bit and went to the Padini Store where Dar bought q a bit of clothes but which were all on sale. I myself got a top for like 20+RM... wld haf gotten more but they only had 3 colours and the other 2 colours were rather dull. By the time we left the shop, it was already 9plus (n we wanted 2 go back @ like 6+ lors!) and we were debating whether to wait till 10 to eat lok lok or to eat @ the rest. But sleepy was kinda tired and so we decided to try our luck @ Sushi King so as to utilise our voucher as well. Luckily they were not closed yet and me ordered udon whilst Dar ordered a Eel rice and soba set. After our 10RM voucher, total bill was like 20+RM :)))


Looks like everything was pretty cheap rites? But I thnk we spent q a bit of money on shopping as well (oh i forgot 2 mention I bought 2 tops fr this other shop hee) so I guess in e end the effect is netted off bahs. Told Dar e next time we go in... I wana go 2 e new mall Danga Bay. Heard it is a super HUGE shopping centre! Till then then :)

New KTV Joint

Hmm... maybe not ALL that new but mois have only recently heard abt it so to me it is new lahs... Went w some frenz (actually mostly fren's frenz) to the 10 dollar karaoke place abt 2 weeks ago; was actually surprised that the gal managed to get a slot coz apparantly u gota book in advance. The cost is $10++ for 3 hours of singing plus free flow of drinks and free shark's fin. I was actually a little sceptical about the place coz went w my temp staff to Top-One the week b4 Christmas and I wasn't impressed.

This 10 dollar place is rite smack in the middle of Chinatown; yep rite in the middle of the CNY bazzar that is going on now. It wasn't that difficult to find, and a narrow, rickety flight of steps led me up to the main reception. Thot the pp there, though bz were rather frenly; they even changed us to a bigger room when they realised we had more pp and thus it was q squeezy in the little room.

Hmm, my verdict, I definitely liked it a lot beta than Top One!!! The number 1 plus point gota be that 10 club didn't have any smoke smell!!!(n i only realised it when I went home!!!) unlike most other KTV joints that I have been to, u r suffocated by the smoke smell upon entry and it leaves the distateful smell on ur clothes and bag after u have left. The songs were updated and if u wanted to key in songs, u cld either use the remote control or it has a touch-screen. UNLIKE Top-One where one had to physically sit infront of the comp to choose ur songs; yep there was NO remote control which was somehing I totally cldn't understand :P Both places had free flow of drinks and yep the drinks were q diluted, but I preferred 10 club coz Top-One was juz like a little syrup mixed with a lot of water n it actually tasted q horrid whereas I cld still taste my honey @ 10 club. Of coz the shark's fin didnt really haf any shark's fin (or maybe I didn't taste any n cldn't see in the dark :P) but it was edible and @ least they were mushrooms so not that bad lah. My only complaint was that the sound wasn't exactly sound-proofed so u cld hear other pp singing in between songs.

But I do thnk it is definitely value for money; they dun charge u extra for those tidbits and the hand towels n @ #11+ per person, it is really worth it. Peeps, let's go there for our K-session next time! :)
