About my routine...

It’s time to pay tax. I posted the cheque a day after I received my Notice of Assessment (I am a good Tax payer, huh?). I think I have to save more money this month by cutting down my shopping addiction. Argghhhh…. But, sales everywhere! And there are so many things in my wishlist.

I am feeling really boring lately in Singapore.

This is my routine:- (Monday to Thursday)

8.00am – wake up, take shower, and get a bus to office

9.30am – Reach office, start work

1.00pm – Lunch

7.15pm – Leave office

8.30pm – Reach home, do laundry, take shower, and dinner

9.30pm – online, read books/magazines, make “phone porridge”

12.00am – ZZZzzzzz

What about Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays???

What I do? Of course going back to KL to meet my lovely family members and my loved one, sleep on my lovely bed, eat my mom’s home cook food (my mom can cook very well). I starve myself during weekdays and stuff myself during weekends! How to reduce my tummy in that case?

Lunch in The Gardens

Me & my "Kai Koh" Brian
Me & my "Kai Sou" Tracy

Had lunch with my "kai koh" and "kai sou". They are migrating soon! Wish them ALL THE BEST! Don't forget to come back more often as I will really miss you guys.
After lunch, we went shopping! Wow, it seems like sales everywhere! Tempting leh! So many things are pending in my shopping list. Never mind, one more day to shop since I m going back to Singapore only on Monday. And The Great Singapore Sales is coming too. Hehehe....

Asher The Cute baby

Thanks to the new technology. Asher was watching Doraemon video thru my mobile. But he never forget to pose himself when he found out that i wanted to take his picture. So cute......

Supplements...

Do I really need all these?

Vitamin E - natural emulsifier of fatty substances in the body. (Am I that fat?)
Vitamin B complex - help combat the symptoms and causes of stress, depression, and cardiovascular disease. (I need this as in they make me more awake, I used to feel sleepy easily during day time)
Wheat grass - similar to green leafy vegetables.... (I think i eat enough veggies)

My healthy dinner

Dang dang! This is my dinner. Ya, you are right, main dish - cabbage, side dish - green peas, and dessert - apple. Normally I have only the main dish, today considered "special" (because i want to clear all the "old" veggies that has been stored in the fridge almost for 1 week. Besides cabbage, sometimes I have bean curd, bean sprout, cauliflowers, or broccoli for the main dish, and an apple for dessert. An apple a day, keep doctors away! Healthy diet, huh?

Cath's B'day

SG - KL

A few of my friends asked me, why do i torture myself by going all the way to JB from Singapore to get the same Express bus to KL (Transnational)?
Reason? Of course cheaper. Let me do the calculations here:-

Option 1 (Get a Express Bus from Singapore to KL and i m referring to the cheapest fare that i can get in Singapore)
1) From my working place take MRT to LAVENDER = around SG$1.10 (15-20 minutes)
2) Walk from Lavender station to Lavender street = free (15 minutes walk)
3) Transnational Express bus ticket from Singapore to KL = SG$25.00 (6 hours if no traffic jam)
- Get down in Woodlands checkpoint
- After get your passport stamped, hop into the same bus
- Get down at Johor Checkpoint
- After pass Johor Checkpoint, hop into the same bus again

so, total? $1.10 + $25.00 = $26.10 only
But, after convert means $26.10 x 2.30 = $60.03
Total time = approximately 7 hours

ps: Normally fridays evenings, after 5pm, Woodlands Checkpoint will be very crowded.

Option 2 (Go all the way to Larkin Johor to get the same Transnational bus) - refer to the pictures

1) From China Town MRT
2) Change to East West Line in Outram Park Interchange

3) Change to North South Line in Jurong East Interchange

4) Get down at Kranji MRT (from ChinaTown to Kranji = $1.65)

5) Catch a SBS Transit bus number 170 in front of Kranji MRT station

6) Get down in Woodlands checkpoint (no picture - not allowed to snap photos in checkpoint)
7) After get your passport stamped, head to the bus stop. Follow the lanes with sign "160" or "170"

8) Hop into SBS Transit number 160 or 170 (both take you to Johor checkpoint)
9) After pass Johor Checkpoint, wait bus number 170 - only 170 with red sign or the green plate written "JB LARKIN) - for those who donno what is Larkin, Larkin is like Puduraya in KL, a bus station where u can get express buses to your destination

10) get down in Larkin Station (From Kranji to Larkin = $0.95)

For step 1 to step 10, it takes about 2 hours
11) After that, I will catch this Transnational Bus from JB - KL (5 hours journey) - RM24.00


so, total? $1.65 + $0.95 + RM24.00
Total in RM is ($2.50 x 2.3) + RM24.00 = RM29.75
Total time = approximately 8 hours

ps: - Sometimes it takes more time to reach Larkin due to trafic jam
- I normally buy my ticket one week in advance

Since I come back in weekly basis, i have to choose the cheapest option, rite? I save RM30 per trip. And that's why i choose Option 2.
