The Vong's invited me to join them on a day trip to JB via the railway, the good ole fashion way. That got me excited cuz (1) it will soon be defunct come Jul-11 and (2) i havent taken it before. 
The highly anticipated trip turned out to be rather... lukewarm at best. A one-way ticket to JB from the train station at cantonment costs S$12, while the return ticket costs merely RM3, but you have to get it in JB. Overall, we all agreed that it's better and more comfortable to take the train to JB instead of bus cuz its less crowded at customs and there's air con most ways.
The trip turned out to be more of a foodie trip rather than a shoe spree trip. We started off with my fave bak kut teh near the Vong's place, then nonya kueh once we reached JB and then, out of boredom, we ate assam laksa & rojak.
We initially planned to return after dinner, but after less than 2 hours of shopping, we were ready to go back to singapore. Train ticket back was really cheap at RM3, but i think its cheap for a reason - there's no air con !!! freaking hot and the cabins only had 4 small miserable windows to aerate it!! The journey back was more interesting as we paid more attention to the sights. We passed by some parts of Singapore which we would never have seen.
Tyre & Damon joined us after we returned to Singapore for dinner and we wandered around the tanjong pagar area by foot in search for some pretty eateries which were spotted before. 
And then we ended up having chinese food - nothing very fanciful nor interesting but the restuarant was packed!!!
And that ends our day trip. Not bad , not bad after all! :D
