03:00 AM<\/strong>
\nWoke up, washed & dressed up. Fed the dogs and refilled their water bowls. Last minute preparations done. JR was quite “excited” as this is our little copen’s first drive to Malaysia. Let’s go!<\/p>\n

04:00 AM <\/strong>
\nWe stopped by the Esso Petrol Kiosk along the main road and pumped in $30 of petrol. Called mummy to tell her that we were on the way to her place. They just woke up and didn’t expect us to be on time! HAHA..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

04:25 AM<\/strong>
\nReached my parents’ place and I went up to chase them down. We went with Papa to Caltex Petrol Kiosk to pump petrol and pump air for the tires. We pumped in another $5 of petrol. We went home and fetch mummy and Didi. Finally, we were on our way…<\/p>\n

There was already a queue at the Tuas Checkpoint when we arrived. Luckily the queue wasn’t too long.<\/p>\n
