Well
yesterday at around 11.36 pm
My mum turned into Malaysian TV1
and there is a special announcement made
Sultan Iskandar of Johor have passed away yesterday
Al Fatihah to him
And there will be a 7 day mourning period beginning trw
And coincidentally, we will be going to JB the next day
man expect a sombre atmosphere
so wake up at 8
went out at 9 and found out that the causeway is quite smooth
and at the malaysian side of the causeway, there are few mobile escort which will escort a Singapore representative to the funeral of the sultan
later found out it was Mr Goh Chok Tong
then as i stepped into Kotaraya for breakfast,
I can see for the men, they wear black songkok with white strap round it
To mourn the death of the sultan
as for the ladies, had to put on white headscarves
and during mourning period, all entertainment shops had to be closed
like arcade, disco, pubs, karaoke
and no music is to be played except quranic verses
aft breakfast at kotaraya, went to a friends house
juz to visit
at the same time watched the sultan's funeral on tv
It will be held at the palace where many big names came to pay the last respect
and lots of leaders from other states, singapore and brunei came to pay the last respects
at around 1415 it was moved from the palace to the burial site 2km away from the palace
but did nt see fully the ceremony cos had to move to angsana where we bought clothes
Now I have some sense of fashion yeahs....
haha
In angsana the mood wasnt so lively
and all the scheduled stage shows had to be cancelled because of the death
then did a brief marketing at giang b4 went home
where we kena 100% check by the ICA
man why must be us
but luckily we never brought anything prohibited
maybe we look so tired thats why the ICA tahan us
cos they thought we look like drug addicts
Imagine the tired face on us
Home and tomorrow... well see...
