It has been awhile since I last did any post. But since I was the only one who brought the camera around, I will be doing up on this post.
Yesterday, we had a little eating and shopping trip in Johor Bahru. So here will be a few pictures of us doing some stuff.
First off, I am going to start just after we passed through the checkpoint. We made our way over to Kai Xuan restaurant in 1 of the hotel (can’t remember the name (ΘεΘ;) ). Over there we had our Dim Sum buffet.
This are the food for first round Σ(ﾟДﾟ):
Second with more food and desert Σ(ﾟДﾟ):
There was a third round but was too busy eating to take a photo of it.
After eating, we went over to one of the GIANT over there to do some grocery shopping. This time round I couldn’t take any picture as I have to deposit my bag over there at their customer service center and I have forgotten my camera inside (´；ω；`).
After shopping, we went over to Jusco for one of our trip’s main objective : A&W. But due to the fact of the Dim sum marathon. We were too full to actually eat there so we just order some light food to eat.
Their special the A&W root beer float (￣ー￣):
And also order the ice-cream waffle XD:
After Juso, went over to city square but got lost for a while even with GPS as the road was not updated in it.
Nice sky:
Having more discussion on route to take.
Eventually we arrived there after using knowledge over technology. Walked around some more in city square, and dinner and we were back on our way to Singapore.
That’s it from me on this little trip. Hope to post more again XD
Tried to make the picture bigger for everyone to see, but don’t think it possible. So click on it to see it in full.
The chart is quite informative and should help put you at ease, if you have some fear about the radiation levels in Japan now. The chart is quite well done and the figures are actual from research taken from a a list well trusted sources.

The Girls from K-On! will be back, maybe not back… But they will be moving on!
On to University!
And they will be back, not on TV but on 2 different Manga magazines, the Manga Time Kirara and Manga Time Kirara Carat.
On the main manga magazine, they will be featuring the the graduated girl’s life in University, about how they would get a boyfriend and break the hearts of millions of fanboys everywhere… …
Nah just kidding, but someone did put out an interesting question, how are they going to avoid boys in their University life? Oh… … They applied to go to some women’s university… … … Snap O_o… Now maybe some dormitory action then… Look forward to it, coming April 9th, 2011
On the other hand, the Carat version of the Manga Time Kirara, Kakifly will be bringing you the life after K-On!! at Sakura High. Tell the life of Azusa, Ui and her other friends… …
I don’t know what to expect but will the club be closed down, will there be new members, or will there be something drastic… Look forward to the continuation of a certain someone’s high school life, coming this April 28th in Manga Time Kirara Carat.
So is this all planned out by kakifly? or did he just acceded to a continuation deal? Hmm nobody will know the answer…
