Probably the best trip...
Day 1
It was a surprise for Sean to turn up at Bedok MRT station on time. Me and Rob were fearing for the worst as to the possibility of a Pang Seh by our beloved Seany Baby. He did turn up, but did not seem to have high expectations for the trip... maybe it was more of a bo pian for him to tag along. Lol. But i think he got more than what he expected in the end! As it was still early, we decided the take the bus 35 to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. The bus nv seem to come any earlier for us as we wait like idiots for 30+ minutes. Forgot abt that Soon... He woke up late... as always. In the end, that sleepy head got there earlier than us. The three of us were nearly late and just barely make it in time for the 1050hrs boat ride. The four of us then joined up with my auntie to take the boat ride together to Tj Pinang. We had actually intended to shop at the duty free shop with ease. But not possible, we only had 10 mins. Ha. In the end, we got a GOLDEN VODKA (which Rob like so much la) and a SCOTCH Whisky. And i din expect those 2 drinks to bring abt my embarrassment later on :P
So we were set for the trip on a long 2 hours boat ride. In actual fact, i did not haf much recollections of the place altho its my hometown. The last time i went there was ten years ago. Time cripped by slowly and the 4 of us started to lose patience. SO we climbed up to Level 2 deck to chill out. As usual, the main topics does not seem to shift away from our SEANY BABY... Abt him and his love life... who he is going out with... And how LOUD SOON HUI was... LOL. Dun wanna go into the details. SENSITVIE. Rob was enjoying his... Something he cannot do freely in SPORE :P And of course, they ask abt me too... But i wasn't going to tell them much and i din. So unfair rite?
After the 1h45min boat ride, we finally set foot on Tj Pinang. For me, it was quite a terrible culture shock. Maybe i was too used to the prosperity of Spore. I started to regret bringing my brudders to this place. It was a bit too old for them ba. Maybe i was thinking too much... MAYBE. Met up with our GUIDE, AKA cousin, Ah Chang. Pity him sia, due to miscom, he waited there for 3 hours le. Point to note, Indonesia is slower than Spore by an hour... but seriously, i feel it is slower by 2 hours by more. Looking at those outdated vehicles, i feel like i was thrown back at least 30 yrs ago. Ha... being the host...and grumbling. This does not bode well for the trip. I would say it wasn't the best to the start of a trip. Primarily bcoz we were shocked of the state of which the city was in. We proceeded to Laguna Hotel, which was situated in the city area. For me, the room was 2 stars ba... bad. And we got the best window view... a good look at the rubbish and debris of the hotel. Lol. Anyway, i shared my room with my long-time Gay partner, Soon, and the other 2 unkept fellows share the other room. Upon closer look at the rooms, i spotted so much Xiao Qiangs crawling ard... One star. Thankfully, all 4 of us were not that particular abt the conditions of the hotel as we were more focused on travelling ard than stay in the hotel and rot there... with all the Xiao Qiangs.
My auntie, commonly known as Si Yi, then helped us do the administative stuffs like checking in and changing of currency. She did a good job and bcoz of her money management, the brotherhood did not seem to have the worry of thinking abt money shortages. Moving on, Ah Chang brought us to his friend's shop just across the street from the hotel. That guy's a surfer dude and helps out in the shop in the morning. It was truely going back to oldern times, where their food stalls resembles those u see in Pulau Ubin. I guess the first morale booster came from there. The food was truely magnificant. Dun expect clean food. Ha. In Tj Pinang, there is no pre-prepared food like those in food court. U order, then they start cooking. All the while, i was looking in the direction of the kitchen, but none of the food came out from there. The foods actually came from the entrance. Surprised. There is no gas stove watsoever. The food were all cooked using the traditional charcoal and charcoal stove. No wonder all the food taste so different. NICE! Especially the stingray and chilli. Ha. Drooling now as i recall the taste. Most importantly... it's too cheap to be true. Ard S$20 for the whole lunch for 7 persons. Sean got poisoned with sugar... haha. Sugar Rush. His "Teh Guni" was freaking sweet. The brotherhood enjoyed the lunch.
Ah Chang then brought us for a tour ard the city area. Tj Pinang is definietely not the best place for shopping. But as we walked ard... we slowly adapted to the slow pace of the city and enjoys it. We went to the shopping malls and look ard at the products. On average, the price of the products is half of wat u will expect in spore. But dun get conned by Adidas bags selling at S$6. "CHIONG" one.. altho look so real. Something that interest guys is the price of VCDS and games they are selling at. Rougly S$1-2 for a VCD or game. Thats like 6-7 times cheaper than wat u expect in Spore. Ha... and it is interesting looking at the expressions of Indo-Chinese girls that saw us. We were like so "Alien" to them la. So astonished to see us. Those girls r so shy one... look at us alr then hide one corner, giggling away. LOL. Maybe we r like F4 la... Ha. Joking onli. There was not much to shop anyway and we decided to proceed to Si Yi house for a while. It was so convenient for us as Ah Chang drives us ard the place for the whole trip in Pinang.
