JB Shopping @ 14 Jan 07

The day started out early at 7am, as we had to meet to avoid woodlands jam. Later we found out that it was probably not necessary. Custom traffic was very smooth and no problem crossing the bridge at all. Weather was fine (no rain), although it was a tad gloomy with the darkening skies. This was Cdder first overseas outing with us, and we were glad to have him with us, together with his whole family. The eventual turnout was 5 cars, blue diamond, cobalt, white, black, silver. Tek being the lazy sort would crawl out of bed later to and meet us at Moffiz later. This time round, we headed for Mac at Carrefour to have our breakfast, instead of the usual Danga Bay. Mac here is cheaper than in Singapore and tasted just as good. After filling our stomachs, we took some "pichers" of the cars at the carpark and headed down to Moffiz. We were too early for Moffiz but the Giant there was already open. Good, so we sat off to scratch our shopping itch and shopped around Giant for some bargains. Moffiz opened at 10am and I got my rain visor, and Jacky did his wiring for his back speakers.

Since Jacky was taking some time for the installation, I led the rest to Carrefour for more shopping rather than wait for him. There was an interesting pet shop there carrying scorpions, gecko, cats, star tortoises etc etc...Shopping there was rather quick and Jacky rejoined us around 12.30pm. We decided to head somewhere else for lunch as there wasn't much to eat there.

This time round, I brought them to the GIANT at PLENTONG . It was quite a busy place with many shops around, although not the upmarket ones that you find at Jusco. We had a good lunch together before everyone splited for more shopping till 3.30pm. This was where you could find a poorly run pet food with a skinny money in a cage. The arapaima was an exhibit at the cetnre of the mall. Come 3.3pm, Cdder and Tek had to move off and I led them back to the Carrefour road and we parted ways. At the junction before, Tek mistook my hand signals for "follow me" as "drive like mad and get out of here on your own"...and promptly drove off the wrong way. The last I know, I think he was headed for Russia. (Tek, if you are reading, drop us a note to let us know how you are doing in Russia). I couldn't do anything but to see him gallop into the distance over the horizon. He didn't have roaming, so no way to contact him except by telepathy...but he didn't have the telepathic power like me. Haz.
