Wah it's last month's stuff. But anyway a good day to mention. Cos I PASSED my IPPT! Muahaha! No more RT! And the best thing is, I passed 2.4km run by a mere 4 seconds! And I think I should thank the chao ah beng (with one whole leg full of angkong) running next to me after the 5th round. I was taking the lead for all 5 rounds until the CAB caught up with me.
Then I told him "last round".
He said "ya, wanna qie or not?"
"I cannot make it liao. You go ahead loh."
But he didn't pia. We remained side by side until about half a round to go, he started to walk. I told him to "come on, a bit more only." Then he started to chiong with me. At the last 150+m or so, I chionged as fast as I could and chiong to the finish line. And was relieved and felt super lucky I passed with a timing of 12 mins 36 seconds! The CAB got 12:38! If not for him, I guess I wouldn't have passed. LOL.
So after the run I went to collect my result slip and joined Zhangjing and Lionel in the gym. Told them the good news and that I no need to go to Phase 2 lol. So ZJ and I then went to the Bedok Market for dinner, as usual. It would be my last time there. I thought I could finally get to eat the Cheng Teng there, the one with a super long queue. However the stall was closed! I still didn't manage to get to eat it after one month of RT! Totally crapz man.

It's Hari Raya. And also Children's Day! The guys from Blk 22 planned a dinner gathering at MOF @ Bugis Junction. Plenty of them turned up. Too many to mention here. I realized I ate at MOF too, but it was a Marina Square. It's Japanese food again! I think I should ban all Japanese food gatherings man. Getting quite sick of them hahah.

Yeah it was Zhangjing's idea that we go to JB for movies and seafood since the days we were having RT. It materialized finally. Boo Han, Boyi, Boon Leong, ZJ and me. We met up quite early in the morning because ZJ and I had planned to watch two movies at first. But the other 3 of them think we're nuts and therefore we went to watch one instead lol. We decided to watch Mamma Mia! since no one had seen it yet. Then we went to Kenny Roger's @ City Square. The taste was a bit different. The sauce was quite unique and nice, but the chicken is less succulent and smaller. The 3 sides dishes to go along with our Kenny's Quarters meal were a bit small too. But still quite ok for the price we had to pay lol. So right after lunch, it was just nice for the movie.
From what I heard, it's a musical something like High School Musical. And indeed it was. And I if I'm not wrong, all the songs in the movie are from ABBA. Yeah there are some of the more famous tunes from this retro band. There were a few Malay aunties behind us who kept laughing at every single detail of the movie. They must have really enjoyed themselves watching the movie. Not too much an enjoyment for the rest of us though lol. Some of us even fell asleep during the movie. Wahaha! But still it's quite a fun movie. Low budget but entertaining. I think it's worth a 3.5 stars.
After the movie, we went to Holiday Plaza for some window-shopping. Yeah, only Boon Leong made quite a good harvest from there. The rest of us just had some drinks at Mac. And I must say that building now contains more nail spas than pirated DVD shops! At least 5 is to 1! Amazing. Girls in JB really know how to pamper themselves.
Next, we took cab to Taman Sri Tebrau for our seafood dinner. We got hotplate tofu, oatmeal prawns, butter crayfish, beggar chicken and kangkong. Scrumptious! Oh we even ordered 5 sticks of satay each at the end. Total cost was about S$12 only, quite worth it. So then we went back to City Square to do some last minute shopping before we headed back to the customs. To our horror, the 160/170 bus-stop was so congested that we decided to walk across the causeway. First time I walk across the causeway. It wasn't very long at all. Just about 10-15 mins to walk across. Luckily it was quite good weather at that time, with cool breezes blowing at us. And so we made our way out of the customs and back home. Tired legs...
