Malaysia Trip and SwingKPE walk

Last saturday, baobei and me went into JB to go walk walk and shopping. We reach City Square around 4+pm. The shopping centre there looks almost like singapore's. Even the shops there also resemble like those in singapore, example like giodano, starbucks, bossini and etc... We walked around the shopping centre... and went into Popular bookstore. The True Singapore Ghost Story there is somehow cheaper than singapore, baobei wanted to come back again next time to buy all the books. There also got Popeye(Fast food located in Changi Airport), but they spelled as Popeyee... The Biscuit somehow taste and looks a bit different, but the chicken is very nice. We walked around til around evening time, we bought some mooncakes and tibits. Wanted to go out to other places for dinner, but baobei see the road and traffic there, she also scare. No choice, in the end we eat at Kim Gary HK Restaurant. She like the soup there, cuz got her "da bai cai" and taste like tomato soup. Guessed she really like to go there, except for the traffic and people there.

Next morning, we woke up at 6am to wash up and go for the SwingKPE walk. We went down for breakfast with my mum together with the rest of the CC ppl. We board the bus around 7 and we reach the venue in less than 15 mins. It was so crowded there, and the crowds is very poorly organised. More than 10k ppl there, probably around 15k. We stand there and wait and wait for more than 1 hour before the walk start. Inside the tunnel, very stuffy and warm, air ventilation is quite bad even though the government said they using the latest technology and all the blah blah.. 12km length of tunnel is longest in the world?? For this i have no idea, but who cares? Inside the tunnel, everyone need to walk with lantern on to break world record for longest lantern parade... Baobei and me using brisk walk, but looks like my mum can walk faster than me, no matter how fast we walk, my mum always in front of us... -_- Upon reaching the ending point, we saw ambulance coming out, guess someone KO there. After passing by the ending point, everyone rushed to collect the goodies bag... Truely singapore with kiasu action, everyone squeezing here and there and all the rubbish and ugly side of singaporean came out. So hard to get our goodies bag. After all the struggles and grindering, we finally got ours and we go to toilet. Then got some kind of event, for those children, they can get to sit on lambogini and lotus sports car. OMG... so envy them. Our bus got corked up and we waited there for nearly 2 hours before we can go back. Too tired to eat, i asked my mum help me da bao food home.

This 3 days "event" really tired us out... Need to rest for 1 month also might not be enough...
