We decided to do a real simple lunch and save some funds for a real good dinner in Mersing before we head back to Johor Bahru. The lunch at Salang was lousy and perhaps expensive. Complaints of having to work on Monday crept in as time passes by. Life as a struggling worker and life as a beach boy is clearly different.

After lunch, while waiting for the jetty back to Mersing, we spent some time at the jetty looking at fishes. We were very excited because there were so many fishes and looked real big (and tasty?!) under the clear waters. Shi Yew was actually tempted to jumped down for a swim, though we can see a very thin layer of fuel floating on the waters. I suppose you can't help it. Civilisation always wins. It really sucks.

Soon, "Bye Bye Tioman” was on the agenda and we board on the rather crowded speed boat (Rm35/one way). The ferry was delayed and instead of 1730hrs, we reached Mersing at 1900hrs. We smuggled some red wine and a Jack Daniels but there were no customs officers checking. I wish Sillypore will follow what our northern neighbours are doing. After all, life really sucks, so why make it worse?

Dinner at mersing was good. Real good as we had a steamed fish, chinese style. We headed back to Johor Bahru and the gang split up. Bb (my ex) and me tried to clear the customs swiftly as we though that it was already very late (11pm) and the jams must have been dissipated. Damn no, we were stuck at the bloody jam and only cleared the Sillypore customs at 1am. Luckily all counters were opened; else customs better expect complaints, Sillypore style.

"Great" news, we still have to work tomorrow. Monday blues.

Life sucks. But every dog will have its day, not for now though.
