JUMP- Our Anniversary Celebration

SynopsisJumpstart your entertainment experience with a new brand of theatrics this June! Combining physical comedy and Tae Kwon Do, JUMP is a high-octane martial arts extravaganza hailing from Korea that features gravity-defying stunts such as slick acrobatics, sword fighting and wall-walking!JUMP tells the story of an idiosyncratic Korean family under the rule of a strict grandfather who insists on keeping up the physical fitness of all family members through vigorous martial arts training. The performance comes to a climax when two stupid thieves break into the house and confront three generations of kung-fu masters, inspiring a series of ridiculous scenes.A sell-out show in London's West End and the No.1 hit at the Edinburgh Fringe box office in 2005 and 2006, sell out shows in Korea, Hong Kong and Macau. JUMP is extremely unique and funny yet utterly spectacular!" Did I give it 5 stars ? make it 50 " -Evening Standard"Go and see this show and take all your family and friends too. They will love you forever." - The British Theatre Guide

Birkenstocks!!!

It came in this....

The long awaited birkenstocks. Total 6 pairs of them for my family of which I am the proud owner of 2 of them.

I realised I made the following mistake in my first time ordering. Please note the following for a single batch order,
1) Total order must not be greater than SGD400 and
2) Not more than 4 pairs
Or else will be subjected to GST.

Lucky for me, my total 6 pairs of birken clocked up to SGD393. Haha. So I saved on the GST.
Another mistake I made is I ordered regular for Madrid instead of narrow. Luckily there is not much difference and I thought the regular was more comfy.

Overall the online shopping was a quick and efficient one. I received my birken in about 2 weeks after I placed my order. Will love to buy again if I have the spare cash...

Day 2 at Segamat: Gunung Ledang

Ed's grandma house at Segamat. It is huge!!!Initially I thought that the place is something like a Kampung.. Hee. Think these days, it is also kinda hard to stay in those Kampung style also.

Leisure morning spend walking around the small town.

The street near Ed's grandma house. I thought the below parking was pretty interesting. You could park your cars literally in the middle of the road.

Afternoon

Near the entrance of Gunung Ledang. Hope I get the spelling correct. Is a waterfall at Segamat. Think quite many Singaporeans go there on a hike. Due to time limitations, we did not scale up to the top but settled for some nice spots along the way. Refresing cold water and fish are a sight there.

We walked to the end of the waterfall in the below photo.

Freezing cold water.

Ed's uncle yield for the day. Their live there is really relaxing. After catching for the pleausre of catching it, he releases all them back to the waterfall. These fish were swimming in the water. I nearly freaked out when I realise that there were so many fish in the waterfall. If I knew it, I would not have gone down the water. Oh ya, they bit me too!! (More of like a small peck on my leg)

Night

Night pasar malam at Segamat on every Sunday. Heard from Ed's aunt that the makeshift stalls will change venue everyday on a weekly basis. Imagine the food there is so cheap when the above cost 3 for RM1.


Overall the short trip was fun. Looking forward to travel around Malaysia and visit the small states... Thanks a lot to his mum and relatives for bringing me around. Really appreciated it.

Short Trip to Segamat 11- 13 May 2007

I have always wanted to take those steam engine train... But guess could only find those in Europe. Those kind of train in Harry Potter. But for now, I will make do with the trains in Malaysia. Thanks Ed for making the effort to let me take a train to explore Malaysia. =)

9Am: Train got delayed for half an hour

The train was quite comfy and cheap. RM20 for one way trip to Segamat- A town in Malaysia

Me and Ed's mum

Ed at the train canteen. Impressed that there is a canteen!

1Pm: Reached Segamat

3pm: Drove to Melaka

His uncle drove @ average car speed of 130km/hr with the road in bends and turns. Not for the faint-hearted.

5pm to 8pm: Melaka- Sightseeing

Jonker Walk is a very interesting cultural night street opposite the red house. A mix of everything, ranging from pub, mortuary, those dialect hui guan, and those pasar malam stalls. Sells relatively cheap brain teasers toys and hairbands. A pity we only had a few hours there. I will really like to go back and shop shop see see again! There is also a stage where people can sing karoake, usually those dialect songs. Quite funny and nostaglic. Like our chinatown during new year. Is a wonder how everything could blend in a street.

Super nice dessert at Jonker Walk. They have gula melaka on top of it. Cost only RM 2.5/bowl. The best part is that it melts in your mouth and the serving portion is just nice. There are several stallls selling it but I remembered is the first dessert stall that sells it and the shop is know for its muesum artifacts. I was totally engrossed with my dessert that I never notice my surroundings.

Dinner at this Chicken rice ball restaurant. I realise then that Melaka is famous for their rice balls. Kinda disappointed as the rice ball was a bit soggy and sticky for my liking. Not cheap too. Recommend to eat at those street stalls where they serve nicer and cheap food.

8pm: Back to Segamat.A 2 hours drive back. Credits must be given to his uncle and aunt who brought us around.
