JOOO KOOOOON <3<3<3

YES! finally i have been to JOO KOON MRT STATION! LOL.

yday i gathered two other 小白痴s and went on a journey to fufil my wishes, if not fantasy, of JOO KOON MRT STATION! haha.

the reason why im so in love with this joo koon is

1. since young i have been used to knowing boon lay is the westest mrt station. and now that it suddenly changed to joo koon is a bit weird.
2. i used to book in and out seeing this mrt stations of pioneer and joo koon and lines being built, but never had the chance to see it "in action". since i have been in that vicinity for one and half years of my life (SISPEC plus 30SCE) im interested to see changes there.
3. after saying for a few times, "JOO KOON" does sound catchy and nice isnt it?
4. it is the only mrt stations on the main track (NS and EW) line that i have not been too.
5. i just wanna act cute and say i wanna go joo koon.

HAHA.

actually, seriously, it is quite a nice place. pioneer and joo koon is very new and thus gives the new feel to it, a little close to like dover station perhaps. its very glassy and classy and the fact that at the time we went there there is very few ppl makes it better and more comfortable.

Anws, yday was a long journey.

Left house at 11 am.


First stop: Bedok mrt station: Went to bedok mrt station to wait for yingjie, who was late to reach tampines station. waited for about 10 to 15 mins den she came. i hopped on the train she was on.

Second stop:Aljunied: den we dropped off at aljunied to wait for the i-am-also-late benjamin. den, we hopped back onto the train to alight at..

Third Stop: Queenstown, where we took a shuttle bus to anchorpoint and den went across the road to ikea.

Fourth stop: IKEA. went there for lunch and also for ben to look for his "glass cylinders to store water o.O" then, we walked over to queensway.

Fifth stop: Queensway. spent some time there but in the end it was obvious i couldnt get what i wanted to get there, so we went over to

Sixth Stop: Anchorpoint. Shopped a while, bought some stuff, den went back to

Seventh Stop: IKEA AGAIN. to eat icecream. hahahahha. After eating we walked back to

Eighth Stop: Queenstown mrt. we boarded a train to.....

Ninth Stop: JOO KOON!!! yes. we made it! or rather I made it! i was at joo koon mrt station! wahahaha. and we started to meng pai, esp me cos it was my dream come true *clap clap clap* =) seriously. i was trying to find a wall which says joo koon and take photos with it but i couldnt find one there! so sad la. the only sign we could find was the one downstairs at the control station, and the one at the platforms.

Thus, i made a decision to start pai-ing LOL. as the sign saying "joo koon" is very high up, a shot was quite difficult to take. thus, either the photographer must take from bottom up, or the model must jump up. haha. we tried both, and managed quite a few good shots i suppose.

haha. u know, ppl love to take this kinda shots. like trying to capture the jump and the moment in air with a camera. ppl do that at sporting events, at the beach, i've seen many of those! but WHO IN THE RIGHT FRAME OF MIND WOULD JUMP AND ZI-HIGH IN A MRT STATION! SIAO! haha.

As such, my love for joo koon proved deep enough to overcome shame and embarrassment. hahah. and i guess i was influencial enough to affect the two others beside me!! XDXDXD

There was this lady stationed at the security post, looking at us (of cos la, anyone who walked past stared at us) i think she did not know how to ask us to go. cos we are not exactly a threat or something but we are like disturbing the "harmony" there. hahaha. and she gradually walked nearer to us but still did not say anything.

Ok, we get her hint, but we continued to meng pai at the platform after that. lol. and after many many shots, another gentleman then came over and reminded us that we have to pay a penalty if we stayed too long within an mrt station. haha. of cos we get his hint as well and since it was about time, with us sweating and all, we boarded the train and left this place of adventure... to..



(the other many many photos are on fb.)

Tenth Stop: Jurong Point. (ok im getting very tired now blogging so i'll be more direct) we walked ard and since yj and ben have not been to JP before, esp with this new extension, they were pretty much stunned of the size of the shopping mall!!! it was huge, i have to say. i have been there before though so i know generally where are the stuff located.

Thus we went around shopping and exploring but finally we were all so damn tired and shagged our legs started to hurt. So much so that ben and yingjie began to do stretching exercises..

THIGH STRETCH IN POSITION READY! EXERCISE BEGIN!
CHANGE SIDEEEEEEEEE CHANGE!

LOL. that was really in my mind when they started to unglamly stretch in front of a huge street directory we found in B1 which we tried to use to find dinner. We settled for crystal jade lamian xiaolongbao. After dinner, took mrt back to...

Eleventh Stop: Tanah Merah. haha. home sweet home.

Its been a long time since i walked so much and travelled so much in one day. its was very tiring but i would say satisfying. cos i spent a lot of money and perhaps deserved a big spender award!!! hahaha.

Oh well, before i reached home my brother sms-ed me that everton scored in the 26th second! hahaha. but of cos, as we all know now, chelsea came back from behind and won FA Cup with a 2-1 win. (as i expected after hearing the news of saha's goal) well, lampard's goal was really damn qiang la! he slipped but in such a short moment regained his balance and scored a screamer with his supposedly weaker foot!

What a packed day!
