The North Expedition

Carrying the banner of 'kududes', the fearsome four, nikki, jinx, xiaolong and qx marched into the promised land.

After years of planning, procastination and delays, finally we are going to eat at JB together.

"Ta ma hua yuan, 5 ringgit!" Nikki led the charge with the war cry. The taxi driver gave a are-you-sure look, and we have to settle for a 8 ringgit trip.

After we had reached our destination, it was serious stuffs all the way. "I want this this this this and this. And also this......"

Once the food landed on our table, there will be an automatic 10-15 minutes of silence, when everybody will be fully focused on eating the food (Ok... I'm exaggerating here. There were still bits of converstation, like "This food not bad hor...").

As we foot the bill, nikki did a killer blow on the waitress by asking for the receipt. The cute waitress did as told without complain, even though the crowd was quite fierce at that time. *2 thumbs up*

Going back to Motherland was a painful process. The fearsome four skipped the bus and walked across the Causeway, as the jams were unbearable. With throngs of people doing the fast walk across the Bridge (Some even alternate between jogs and fast walk), the whole scene is like Moses was leading his people out of Eygpt, and fleeing from the pursuing Eygtian armies. Quite funny I think. You see, if you overtake the man in front of you, you will reach the Singapore Custom before him, and you will be able to board the bus before him and reach home before him. With such a large crowd moving towards the Custom, it is no wonder that people were trying to overtake each other. (Lesson learned. Avoid JB during public holidays)

The fearsome four finally parted and live to tell another day. This will not be our last northern expedition, as xiaolong had thought. But jinx seemed exshauted after the campaign.
