Perjalanan pendek ..... Singapura (cont.)

About 3 minutes Cik Yus came with her niece, Aleysha (betul ke eja, tatau) and bawak kitaorang pergi makan lunch. Dah petang time ni dan sangat lapar ye tuan tuan dan puan puan. I had Mee Bakso Jakarta (kannnnn!!!) and Jeeb had some Korean food (kaaannnnn!!!)

After lunch terus balik rumah Cik Yus, fetch by her husband Cik Wahab at Woodlands.
OMG Woodlands is so nice. So so nice. It’s clean, quiet, and peaceful and I am falling in love with the place. Rasa nak pindah terus ke Woodlands.

Sangat-sangat bersih dan aman damai yer tuan tuan dan puan puan. It does remind us of Putrajaya but this is more terancang. Putrajaya tuh diaorang terlupa nak built parking lot pada setiap apartment. Sini, ada night parking lagi untuk setiap unit.

Did I said the area is clean? I bet my ex-boss would love this place too.

Oklah, enoughlah about the cleanliness. So, we lepak-lepak sekejap and solat whatnot at Cik Yus place then off to Jeeb’s Tok Busu place pulak, still in Woodlands – bapak besar Woodlands neh.

Sembang-sembang, makan nasi ayam and layan Uncle yang so the very peramah, which is so great, kejap je aku dah rasa macam dengan keluarga sendiri. Thank you to them all.

Then off to Orchard Road pergi havoc or happenning. Cik Yus was so excited about shopping dekat Mango yang 50% discount – owh, did I say it was GSS now? Tapi kitaorang suh dia sabar sebab we want to make a stop at Jalan Ampas.

OMG, Jalan Ampas. Tinggal sebahagian kecil je studio tu yang masih berdiri teguh. Itupun, kawasan itu dipagar. Boleh intai sikit ikut celah pintu dia untuk lihat apa yang ada di dalam. Dengan bantuan Cik Wahab, aku boleh bayangkan scene dalam Seniman Bujang Lapok time the three bujang lapok datang audition.

We saw Jalan Dusun too, which in the 50s was Kampung Dusun. Alah, rumahnya si Sarip Dol Samseng Kampung Dusun tuh. Sekarang tak nampak kampung dah.

Hmm…what a shamekan a heritage been left deteriorate like that.

Then we saw Hospital Kandang Kerbau. Yes, it is name as such so if you were born there, you have to tell people that you were born in Kandang Kerbau. Apparently, the hospital’s fame was not merely due to its name but as per Cik Yus, back then, Hospital Kandang Kerbau was the one and only public hospital available in Singapore, sekarang dah banyaklah.

Orchard Road was busy and happenning with a gig yang penuh orang and this gig is like tepi jalan sangat OK. Kalau kat KL dah tentu penuh keta parking kat tepi jalan. Di sini, konsert berjalan seperti biasa dan lalulintas juga berjalan seperti biasa, tak perlu barricade segala.
