23/7/2016 Trip to Tangkak for durians and a small trek to Mt Ophir !
It was our annual durian hunt with hubby's classmates which began only last year. This 2nd year we moved up to Tangkak , making it a full day trip which started at 6:30am
Traffic via Causeway was surprisingly good and we managed to stop over at about 8am @ Toast in Permas for breakfast.
Arrived at Tangkak at about 11am where the durian feast began!
The 4 types of durians from the AA cheapest to the most expensive of Mao Shan Wan was laid on the table for sampling! (and we spent RM698 all in all)
The growing sequence of a durian from day 1 to the final 6th months - see its thorny TRANSFORMATION!
12:30PM Arrived at the foot of Mt Ophir to discharge those calories!
3:30pm : Off to hunt for the famous Tangkak Beef Noodles! And bought the traditional biscuits...
6pm....On the way to Simpang Rengkam..the bus started to made a "plop plop plog noise"! Fortunately it was not a tyre puncture but a screw loose causing the bottom flap to make that noise...stopped at a repair shop and got it fixed in minutes....after collecting the Muah Otah:)
All in for this trip -bus and food? S$70....not too bad eh?
Looking for to next year! Yeah!

The Ukelele sing-a-long song in the bus journey...If I had a million dollars..LOL Ji Ba Ban!
OPHIR : is a port or region mentioned in the Bible, famous for its WEALTH! King Solomon received a cargo of gold, silver, sandalwood, pearls, ivory, apes and peacocks from OPHIR every 3 years! (wikipaedia) Oh My! Ji Ba Ban alright!

Just if you’re wondering what the heck is this guy singing about, here’s my DIRECT TRANSLATION, I repeat, DIRECT TRANSLATION from hokkien to English for your listening pleasure.
If I have got one million, one million,
I got one million, my whole life no worries,
Never say nobody knows, say already very shy,
Eat until so big, never sat on a plane before,
Worked so hard for so many years, no car no house and also no lover,
See people get married and do business, got money and got success,
If I have got one million, I wanna sit on a plane,
I wanna explore the world, Hawaii to sun bath,
Japan eat sushi ( treat you eat sushi )
If I have got one million, I wanna buy car buy house,
Eat all the delicacies of the world, who got the good luck,
Be my girl ( thanks to xiaoken@hwz for explaining these two lines )
