Michael & Yuhui – Our Life Journey

Traveling back to Singapore from Kukup

After a night of fireworks and mahjong for some, we soon were awoke to a great sunny morning. Caught sight of two snakes having a morning tussle as the smaller one was biting onto the larger one and couldn’t resist taking a snap. Our morning breakfast was all ready with a serving of nasi lemak (which had great chilli!) and youtiao.

While some chose to enjoy the free time playing a couple more rounds of mahjong and some did karaoke, we did some light reading and I tried to finish the scuba magazines. Dozed off a couple times though since it was the perfect environment to just relax and forget about work.

At about 2+, it was time to pack up and head back to Singapore. We bid farewell to the owners for their hospitality and soon were on our way off. Before leaving though, we had to collect the agar agar (jelly) we had ordered the day before. RM$6 for 12 pieces of jelly in various flavors and something different for fillings (red bean, pineapple, etc).

We had a simple seafood lunch at the entrance, “Restoran Makanan Laut Long Man”. Wasn’t anything fancy since some of the dishes seem to be reheated but for RM$70 for the whole trip, there wasn’t much to complain about!

Leaving Kukup, we were soon near Pontian where everyone shopped a little for groceries at Giant and even got a little fruits along a roadside fruit stall nearer to Johor. Our plans to have dinner just before exiting the 2nd causeway was dashed when the place seemed to be closed for renovations. Had heard that the satay there was very good but didn’t get to try it. All in all, was a great way to spend the weekend with new friends and definitely good way to forget about work and just relax.
