what a post-christmas celebration! iris and i had a wonderful time at johore bahru yesterday (which was boxing day) right after church on sunday, and it was really awesome (though tiring)!
we began our adventure over the causeway on the newly re-routed ride to the malaysia checkpoint. our stomachs were already growling with hunger and we immediately headed for our favourite sizzling stonegrill at the basement for lunch. it was fabulous--iris had her usual chicken chop with prawns while i had just chicken chop with a nice cold nescafe (see photos below), all for under rm$50!

afterwhich we proceeded to our afternoon shopping, with iris finding some real buys from mango, the local padini store, and some good buys for our wedding such as contact lens, her day wedding shoes, an evening wedding shoes (for only RM$27!), and the brothers' ties (6 of them!) while i got a nice pair of polo ralph lauren polo tees and a pair of bermudas. what we couldn't really find was my white/cream pair of wedding shoes (and belt), and the sisters' hair clips.
our hands were aching by the time we were done, and by then we were hungry for dinner. again, to our surprise, we found seasons which to us is better known as swensen's. the food here again was really cheap (under rm$50 again), though we would have gone for their ice-cream if it hadn't been too expensive.
we headed home with our hands full but with satisfied and delighted hearts. it was just a pleasure joy to be able to find some of the things we would have needed for our wedding, and not to mention some of them at really cheap prices! :) we were more than happy! :)
