13.1.14

No longer the same weekends ....

After 2014 has started, my Sundays are no longer the Sundays that I knew. There was this ruling in Johor whereby Fridays and Saturdays are declared weekends. This means the public service and schools will starts on Sunday, instead of Monday. Somehow, this ruling has affected my family time as now I only have 1 day in the weekend, which is Saturday, to spend with my kids and if I wanted to have some travel escapades nearby JB, I would likely have to take off on Fridays. My church services too, now have to bring forward to Saturdays. I guess most of the folks in the private sector are affected too. Anyway, that's my weekend life now! :(

After fetching my kid from school today, my wife wanted to have porridge and suggested we ate at Go Cha Lang Restaurant in Taman Sentosa. She and the kids were  sick for about a week and she was kinda cranky and the poor me gotta bear the brunt of everything!! Back to the dinner, we never been to here since donkey years and the food still good.

Chai Poh Omelette
Braised Pork in Soya

Chinese Bacon

Pork Ribs

A bowl of porridge
However, I noticed their orders always mixed up with a few tables which was not like that in the past. They are very well-organised back then and mostly locals ladies are here to take orders and served. 

Hope you guys have a great weekend!

  1. Wow, didn't know they have implemented such rule! Same as Kedah then, very inconvenient, can't they standardize everything? :/

  4. Food looks good.

    Ahhhh...kids have to go to school on Sundays, same as when my girl was in Sg Petani.

    Kind of silly, I would think, as only the government departments would be working - all else like banks, private companies, for instance, would be closed. So complicated when not all synchronised, each doing own thing.

    1. STP - totally agreed. It will be better if all states are sync in the weekends.
