Johor

Three days ago i went to my parent's house and my mother told me that my cousin went to Indonesia for work. I immediately became quite frustrated with my life. the reason is, unlike my cousin I had a degree. but it didnt get me anywhere yet. so the next morning i whine to liza about it. about how i never get to go anywhere inside the country for work let alone abroad. I mean look at us, we had LLB and look at what we are doing right now. and we just laughed bitterly about it. haha.
I rarely went for holiday. the last real holiday was when i go to penang. after that any other holiday is simply unaffordable. if i were to go on a business trip all expenses are paid for and even though its for work i still get to see the place.
Anyway, after lunch my master called me in and said "is your car in good condition to drive to JB?"
I cant imagine how i feel at that time. but i did smiled happily and it follows that i said that its in good condition (even though i dont really know).

To cut the long story short, yesterday I drove 435KM to JB. Its the first time ever I drive by myself anywhere that far. Its not that my parent didnt allow me to do so. its just that i never had the opportunity. so we cross country from Selangor to JB back and forth in one day. Cant imagine how tired i am but i am a happy girl.

On that morning i brought the map of malaysia. i got online to check the exact location of the place we are going and checked the weather for the day (because i want to know what to wear). Its was confirmed later that it was very very sunny for the whole day up to 33 degrees. the only thing i regret was that my shades is still in the optic shop. I was fully prepared and after two pit stops and nearly four hours later here i am:Puteri Harbor, Kota Iskandar, Nusajaya.

I cant believe that this is actually the ocean and the whole green patch at the back is actually Singapore. The friend that i was travelling together and myself is very frustrated that we cant get to Singapore because we didnt have passports. I told him to make one since he's already a lawyer unlike me. Anyway sorry about the poor shot, I'm using my phone camera coz i didnt have the time to borrow the real one from parents.
Then we went to eat at the harbor in the pictures:




















I get myself Seezhuan chicken and orange juice. Its actually ayam masak kicap. but its nice and the price is RM10 for the food and RM5 for the juice. but RM10 is ok considering i'm eating at a place like this harbor facing the ocean and a ll the boats and this view:

Then we went on for our important meeting here:
Then we went back. I didnt drive on the way back even though i dont mind doing it. I craved for all the rural foods and felt quite frustrated that we didnt have time to explore and find a place where we can eat fresh seafood or anything. So on the way back we stop at Jejantas Ayer Keroh but they didnt have much food there except kerepek. Then we stop at Seremban because the shopkeeper in Seremban said thats where good food is and i had this:

Price: insane...no difference than at our place. My advice is when you get out of town eat where the people eat and not where the travellers eat.
plus, it doesnt taste insanely good like i want it to be. dont eat at R&R.
Got home at 10.30pm. and immediately passed out at 11pm. Haha, 8 hours of driving back and forth...two hours of meeting. total = 10 hours! aite...off to work now (damn i really love having broadband at home).
