Muruku Goes Lion

DAY ONE

OK, so we have missed the Tiger Airways' flight.
Was very tragic, as we were late 5 mins for the check-in (due to one of the guys' lateness sigh)
We still have time to board the flight, but they were too anal to let us through.
On behalf of 4 of us, I was practically begging the boarding gate officer to let us go on board, but a no is still a no to them.
So we were left stranded there. We went to Airasia and Firefly's counters but their tickets (one-way) were a whopping RM360.
Almost fainted when I heard the amount.
Then we called Boss Kenneth who has cracked his brain (he just woke up, by the way) for all possible ways for us to head over to Singapore.
We almost almost bought the RM360 Airasia ticket when he called again, and told us to take a cab instead.
And true enough, taking a cab is cheaper (RM100 per person), but the furthest that the cab could go was Johor Bahru. Almost 4 hours ride. There were a few occasions when the cab hit the emergency brakes cos almost almost hit the car in front. What a ride wtf.


In the cab, with the guy who has created the whole missing flight drama.


Reached City Square, JB.


Took some pics while waiting for Boss Kenneth to pick us up.
I think I have the best Boss in the world because he drove all the way from his house in Tampines (almost south) until JB (north) to fetch us to Singapore.


First time going into Singapore by land. Went through the customs check. One of them had to throw away his 2 brand new ciggie boxes cos couldnt bring into Singapore or risk being fined for it.


Stayed at Hotel 81 Dickson, near Little India and Bugis area.



There's a huge mirror behind the beds.


Reached Suntec City Mall and had lunch at Pizza Hut.
Their pizza is better.


Suntec Tower 4, where our law firm is.


From left : Our dearest Boss Kenneth haha, Mohan, Mr Loo - one of our solicitors, Me, Omar.


Raindrops on the car window. Was raining the whole time.


We followed Mr Loo to the Subordinate Court to witness some minor hearings (i.e those who didnt pay income taxes, govt fines, etc).



Inside Boss Kenneth's Mitsubishi Lancer.




The fountain of wealth, Suntec City


One of our law firms (representing Standard Chartered) - Kelvin Chia Partnership (KCP), Top 10 in Singapore


With Bosses, colleagues, and solicitors during the dinner with KCP. Great food, and there was also karaoke session and liquor.


Lights all around Singapore.


Ion Orchard at night :)


Xmas tree in front of Ion Orchard


Orchard Rd.




Mustafa Centre (24 hours) - From food to jewellery to handphones (very cheap), cameras, laptops, electronic items to sports equipments to clothes to shoes, etc etc. Cool place!! 24 hours!!

DAY TWO

Breakfast. I like hawker food :)


Bugis area for shopping at lower prices. Reminds me of mini Chatuchak market in Bangkok. Ah I miss Bangkok and Singapore now, love these 2 cities :)









Omar spent like 20 mins in this shop, touching the candy bras, etc (with an aroused face). WTF



Far East Plaza, Scotts Rd



Underpass to Ion Orchard :)


Uni Qlo, Ion Orchard. A lot of ppl, too many ppl here.


Equivalent to our FOS here.


Ion Orchard, loves the design of the building


Standard Chartered Tampines hehe our HQ is here.


Boss Kenneth drove us to the airport. Time to leave Singapore :(


Duty free duty free duty free


Choc & sweets shop, duty free duty free duty free


There's a lot of Osim Usqueeze machines all around Changi airport, so nice. If only KLIA have this. Sorry for the Winnie the pooh pic, because I was wearing a dress hence well you know, haha zao khong zao khong FML.


Waiting waiting waiting


Flight delayed for half an hour. Jetstar Airways.


Babaii Singapore :((


Jetstar lands in KLIA, not LCCT.

KCP gave us Royce chocs :), I've never heard of Royce but Boss said it's an expensive choc brand.


My SGD14.90 necklace tshirt from Uni Qlo. Haha i tend to buy tshirts with necklaces drawn on it lol.


And my favouritest purchase from Uni Qlo - SGD14.90 Sweater mini-dress. :)
Haha I only brought SGD162 with me LOL (didnt spend much on food cos KCP bought dinner, and Boss Kenneth bought lunch). Blame the expensive exchange rate. Or blame ringgit cos it's weaker sigh.
I think my greatest gratitude goes to Boss Kenneth who has made this all happen.
He deserves all this credit because he was the one who has fought for this trip for us, and he has fought to give us a reward.
In my entire years of working, I think he's the best Boss ever. He does care, and he's so normal haha, unlike other anal Bosses.
He's not only my Leader, but a good friend too :)
