Just wanna show you pictures of my weekend...
On Friday night, my BF and I went to Dinner at this Brazilian place which is like a meat buffet... oooh yumsssss!
I wore one of the new dresses from the latest collection of ShopTan.sg . It's slightly stretchy and gives a real comforable fit. I love the cutting, and the cute button opening at the back. My handbag is a grey studded one from theblogshop.sg
I can't remember the name of this place, but it's a Brazilian one on 6thAvenue. About $50 a person for all you can eat grilled meats (and got salads also...).
Then on Saturday we made our way to Pontian, Malaysia. All dressed up for the trip, in my pink animal print top and khaki high waist shorts from theblogshop.sg (got it from the city plaza outlet). I brought my new camera along for the trip too...
Sometimes, Singapore can get a little claustrophobic for me... so I look forward to roadtrips across the border. By the way, we got pulled over for speeding on the highway (we were going as fast as other cars okay).... and the officer then hinted to us that we can avoid the 300 ringgit speeding ticket if we gave him 50 ringgit. Of couse we did. And now I know it's true what they say about SG cars getting pulled over... and corruption.
This new wallet that I now use to hold my passport and travel documents/foreign currency is from Herwondrouslabel. They have new collections of ViVi mag's GWPs now.. go see!
Pontian is a bit of a sleepy town. It's right by the sea so at night, loads of people come out to fish. I have no idea where everyone is during the day time! Even though it's a seaside town, don't expect nice beaches for you to laze on. It's mostly rocks, from which people fish.

-----------------------------

It's only about an hour's drive away from Singapore. I love the Tuas checkpoint... so clear and efficient. Then the minute you drive past the border, you're met with space...

I hate Kukup. I suppose yeah you can get some cheap kelong seafood there... but as a town, it's crowded and filthy. My Bf even suggested we drive all the way up to Ipoh one day and do Malaysian homestays along the way. If the homes look like these... then no thanks, I will sleep in the car and piss in a bottle.
Ok, I exaggerate.
I won't piss in a bottle.
It's Moo moo.
We also went to the spa in the hotel. It was 40 ringgit for 1 hour foot massage (for me), and 80 ringgit for a foot scrub and rub (my Bf). Cheap. But the standard was so so. If you're there, try other spas ... I saw a few along the roadside.
Then on Sunday, we headed home. I wore my white bunny print tank from theblogshop.sg . The sportsbra inside was only $5 at a Cotton On sale.. whooo!!
Nothing much to do there. There isn't a swimming pool either. But if you just want to drive out of Singapore, eat some cheap seafood....get a massage... then Pontian is not too bad a place... Much less crowded than JB... and only about an hour away.
Nice relaxing trip. Hey, but how do you know that's real police flagging you guys down? What if it's one of those crooks wearing police uniform??
ReplyDeletereal one lah.. its a whole roadblock set up
ReplyDeleteu seemed like a fan of cotton on! are their sportsbra comfy? :)
ReplyDeleteyes. but get the smallest size u can squeeze in to.
ReplyDeleteThe reason for this is tht the elastic in it gets looser quite quickly.
So I bought an S size before, and after a few washes, it's not tight anymore, it's ok, still wearable, but not tht good for sports.
Now I buy XS, so far so good. when it becomes a bit looser, it's still tight enough.
I only but on sale stuff at cotton on though . damn cheap
u can actually hide all your 50dollars note somewhere as long as not in the purse and show it to the officer that you dun hv so much and just give RM20 will do for the speeding
ReplyDeleteHaha but to rob people they might put that effort into a big production. Next time if i ever go for road trip must add this extra cost.
ReplyDeleteGo to JB - more to eat! Thistle Hotel is fantastic - I've gone there many times! The gym and jacuzzi (fantastic) are nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to Thistle Hotel over at Port Dickson - see if it's nice too (so far, reviews seem good!)
Re: Brazilian all-you-can-eat meat, the best in the USA is a chain called Fogo de Chao. I don't think they have a restaurant in Singapore; the nearest one is probably Brazil Churrasco...
ReplyDelete@anon 2:43 - yah I know! But we were not prepared! When my BF opened his wallet, the damn policeman asked for $100 ringgit instead! Then my BF said- nevermind, just give him the speeding ticket. lol. Then the policeman changed his mind and went back down to 50 ringgit. asshole.
ReplyDeleteNext time we will prepare smaller change and hide all our money.
@Shantanu - YAH! that's the one. Brazil Churrasco :)
HEY,HOLLY! I Know you are so back with Mark! Saw u guys riiight!Gd choice!:)
