Short getaway to Johor Bahru with family


It was a long weekend as National Day falls on Friday and Hari Raya Haji falls on Sunday (therefore Monday is a public holiday). Four days of holidays! 

Gathered at grandma's house at 6:30am.
 

To the checkpoint 
  
  
 
 
 

Brunch
  
 
 
 
 
 
 

Reached our accommodation but unable to go in because the adults were unable to open the digital door lock.
 
  
 
 

We went to the arcade at AEON Tebrau City shopping Centre instead.
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 

Daddy won this toy and gave it to Priscilla jie jie because it was her birthday.
 

We waited 20 minutes for this Takoyaki, it was worth the wait.

Lunch at Canton-I

Fish head curry
 

  Adorable cakes
 
 
 
 

Supermarket's lucky draw dip and won two lovely containers with four cute magnets.
 
 
 

The adults finally figured out how to open the digital door lock. Our accommodation was an Airbnb (Air Bed and Breakfast). Mommy says that this is someone's home and we were renting it for a few days.

Left for the custom at 8am to avoid the infamous traffic jam.
 
 

A funny short story

My nickname is 馒头。
After ordering seafood, the waitress asked: 那馒头呢? 

All of them turned to look at me. 

Aunty Cera: 馒头怎么啦? 
Waitress: 馒头要吗?
Grandma (to mommy): 馒头要什么?
Mommy: 没有呀
Waitress: 螃蟹配馒头很好吃的

All of them bursted into laughter. They did not explain to the puzzled waitress.

After ordering the buns, the waitress started to take orders for drinks. Everyone told her what they wanted and she walked away. Mommy called out to her in hurry: 等一下, 馒头还没叫
Waitresses: 馒头叫了
Mommy: 还没有!
Waitresses: 有!馒头二十个!
Mommy (stunned for a few moments): 我说的是我儿子。他叫馒头。他还没有叫水。

This time, the waitress finally understood why were the others laughing.
