A visit to JPO

Last weekend, Bo took me back to his hometown to attend a nephew's wedding.  It was a short trip to Johor for us, didn't leave me enough time to cross the border to Singapore.

But on the way over, we made a stop at the newly opened Johor Premium Outlet.  I heard so many things about this place.  It's supposedly a place where you can find designers or premium brands at cheaper price.  I didn't have high expectation, nor was I excited about going there.  But wanted to check it out anyway.

As we were approaching.

I was excited to see Michael Kors!

Stealing a shot!

The other side, not sure if we went there (?)

Brand Listing

Brand and Service listing

Michael Kors! Which I was excited about but got disappointed since there were no shoes!
(I super love Michael Kors pumps, the York especially)

The most popular outlet, Coach.. Don't ask me the price range, I didn't  get in line.

Just in case you run out of cash!

This is a nice touch knowing how far the parking lots are.

Again stealing a shot

The parking area is massive but we wondered what if it rains?

All I got was a pair of running shoe from Adidas for RM115. I thought that was quite cheap.  JP outlets price ranges, I think around 30 - 60% cheaper than in KL but they mostly sell back season and extra stocks so if you don't mind wearing (or carrying) something out of season, you may like shopping here.

As for me, I'd rather save me the fuel and toll money.  But I don't mind dropping by on the way to JB again! :)

Impromptu patriotic visit

Just like the title suggests, we didn't plan anything for the first day of Chinese New Year.  We woke up early to have breakfast in downtown KL knowing that the traffic will be a breeze.  The traffic was a breeze but to get a decent place to have a breakfast was not.  We ended up having Nasi Lemak Tangling nearby Bo's former office.

After breakfast, as we made our way out, we stopped at the red light on a junction where I spotted the sign board to Tugu Negara.  I said to Bo "You know sayang, I 've never been to Tugu Negara".. to which he replied "The last time I was there was probably in 1986"... Knowing that we had the whole morning to ourselves, I suggested we visit.  I was so sure not many people would be around..

There were not THAT many people but there were people nonetheless.

Another park beside the Tugu Negara

Spotted a group of students from Sabah

Salute!

Around!

Sure felt good to finally visit a national monument, it is never too late.  It taught me to be more grateful for a peaceful country.  I think some people should go there and do some "reflections" on their lives.  There are a lot of things to be grateful about!
