Annual trip to Singapore

Like any other Hari Raya Aidil Fitri ritual, to spend time in Johor Bahru is incomplete without a trip to Republic of Singapore. So at half past ten, we shot off across the causeway. Our first order the day would be a visit to Linda's late father's resting place at Pusara Aman, Chua Chu Kang. Hari Raya Aidil Fitri is always All Souls moment for us.

Right: Pusara Aman

Most probably this will be our last visit to this cemetry. Mohamed Said Sulaiman's remains. who has been interned here since 18 September 1979, has now been asked to be relocated to a smaller plot. This is the usual Singapore Government policy, as land is very scarce in this nation state. So they recycle cemetery plots. By January, we shall be moving the remains elsewhere. Most probably, somewhere in Malaysia.

Right: Crusing along PIE eastwards

Then, we off to do some shopping. We left Pusara Aman, along Jalan Bahar, onto PIE eastwards and then into Newton Circus via Stevens Rd. This leads right into Scotts Rd., where one can turn into Orchard Rd. However, since its weekday, the ERP is being enforced.

Right: Nasi Beriyani and Murtabak Singapura with a new view

So after some shopping, which include some basmati from Mustafa Centre in Serangoon, we headed to North Bridge Road for some very late lunch. The restaurant we frequent is right infront of the famous Masjid Sultan.

Left: Rush hour at the Singapore CIQ

Then we experienced the Friday evening rush hour at the causeway. Personally, I am intrigued at the amount of Malaysians who commute across the border for employment everyday.

Right: First 'sea trials'

As soon as we reached the hotel, its 'sea trials' for me and Girl-Girl. We bought a remote controlled submarine. Like our annual Hari Raya trip to Singapore, one of a required acquisition for her are toys. So this year is this submarine.

Left: The commander of the new submarine

She spent a great deal of fun learning through discovery about the submarine! Of course, we have to do more sea trials first thing in the morning. She needed to perfect her submarining skills.



I must say, it had been a very good day indeed.....
