After finish the procedure, I see a long queue to get bus to JB. I make a wrong queue and finally can get into a bus to send me to Johore new customs building. Really happy to be back to my own country, although my country is not that modern and sophisticated. At least I won't feel the congestion and non freedom. I contact my friend few times to inform him that I will be late and he is waiting for me at exit of Johore Customs building. The new building is connected with City Square shopping complex.

Many customers in the restaurant, some of them are Singaporean too. After long time waiting, we get our orders. While waiting for the dishes to be served, we chat a lot and the communication within us is good. Maybe we have the same topics and interests. We have unlimited topic to talk.

At first I sing some of Sammi Cheng's songs, then we continue with Faye Wong's songs. My friend told me that it is not easy for him to sing Faye's song with his friends because none of his friend like Faye Wong. Therefore, he is happy because can sing so much Faye's songs with me.
