Beat the summer heat at the swimming pool

Whenever the temperature hits about 35 degrees Celsius, a swimming pool becomes my instant paradise.

Side trip to Johor Bahru, Malaysia

I’ve always wanted to visit Johor Bahru in Malaysia because of its proximity to Singapore. I mean, I’ve been to the Lion City several times but I haven’t been to its northern neighbor. What’s up with that?

That’s why when I flew again to Singapore this week, my main objective was to visit Johor Bahru. I’ve seen practically all of Singapore’s main attractions anyway.

The Johor Bahru side trip finally took place on April 26, 2013. I didn’t have much time to explore the city, but now, at least I can say that I’ve finally been to Johor Bahru.

Johor Premium Outlets in Malaysia

Right now it’s raining in Singapore, that’s why I can’t go out to do things that I like, such as walking, swimming or playing basketball.

But I don’t wanna waste my time, so I’d just write a short blog post about the highlight of my day yesterday – the side trip to Malaysia.

My sister took me to the Johor Premium Outlets, a shoppers’ paradise.

I’m not really into shopping though, so I just took photos of the place and of myself.

We had lunch at this place with knights in shining armor:
