My "Hometown"

The day was a hectic one. Promised Abang (my younger brother) to start the journey to Kota Singa earrrly in the morning. When he came at 7.30 am, we were still lounging in dreamland and slumberland. Ha ha ha. If I didn't do that, the trip will start at a much later time.

The journey wasn't long and not as congested as we used second link at Gelang Patah. But what made it tedious was the fact that there were so many stops o be made due to strict regulation by the Kota Singa govt.

Just imagine, the first stop is to hand over our passports and identity cards for first time user of the passports (i.e. Ayang, Adik and I). We were interrogated as where we were headed and so forth. The funny thing was nobody knew where we were headed as my eldest brother will be waiting for us at the other side. What a laugh. Finally, Ikin remembered to mention Jurong.

The second stop was to acquire the passcard which will be used as touch'n'go when we exit Kota Singa later on. After being checked twice for the car registration, we managed to get one.

After that we need to pass through custom, even after choosing the green lane (nothing to declare) we were still stopped and ordered to open the trunk and so on. After handing the receipt for god knows what, we were still detained as the date stamped on the receipt were on 24th instead of 29th. Again, we were asked to wait as they sort out the mess. Just imagine waiting with some Nepalese soldiers who were equipped with weapons and all. Finally we were let go to continue with our journey.

Whaaaa....tak suka.....tak suka!!!!!!! It felt like going to a high security place. Haaaa, if I don't think about all my uncles and aunties and cousins and a brother, I won't want to step a foot on that soil again.

On the way home, the trffic was a bit congested and had to queue up for quite some time. After handing up our passports to the officer on duty we were on our way and had to stop at the custom to again declare if we brought in any contrabands. As if....

Finallly, we arrived at Gelang Patah, our Johor side. Alas, Home Sweet Home....
