I popped by JB one day last week.
Colleague of mine was going every week either to pump petrol or to get groceries. For those who wonder about it, JB is Johore Bahru, which is the nearest Malaysian state to the Woodlands Checkpoint.
Swarmed over by Singaporeans over the weekends due to the favourable currency exchange and substantially cheaper goods. I hadn't been to JB in over... oh... 12 years.
Colleague offered me a chance to tag along and I thought why the heck not?
Long story short - I managed to buy 15 pieces of cotton clothing for the equivalent of SDG $110. Erm... that's a bloody good buy, if I may say so myself. Got my mom's CQ10 for half the price. Ok, so JB really DOES offer cheaper alternatives to Singapore.
But the surprise was this.
Apparently, my colleagues husband DOTES on his 2 year old, and was constantly snapping away. And I got caught. Colleague was amused, apparently, she thought I looked really maternal.
But I took one look and said "eh. R, it looks like I'm terrorising your girl!". lol. See? The little girl's all big eyed, staring up at me, and my lips are pursed, and it looks like I'm about to deliver a sermon on *something*. In truth? I played baby sitter that day and Little Girl was happy with me. But looks can be deceiving, eh?
Anyways, thought it would amuse you lot. :D
