Instead of going out and getting drunk on New Year's Eve, I went to bed with little sleep because I was supposed to wake up in a few short hours for a roadtrip down to Johor Premium Outlets with a couple of people from high school. But not before seeing the 'rents off at home as they're about to go on a short cruise from Penang to Thailand. Fortunately for everyone, I wasn't driving.
Long story short: didn't buy anything there. Between the crowd and the understocked shelves, there's not much choice, basically.
Also had a less-than-pleasant experience at the George and Dragon Cafe there: our drinks (much needed source of caffeine) came long after we were done eating (WTF), and they refuse to honour the offer stated in the VIP coupon book (15% discount on purchase over RM100). Being an actual practicing lawyer, one of the companions took the matter up with the people at the information centre, who offered to settle the matter for us, but we were too pissed to pursue by then.
We left about 2 something, just as it was starting to get really busy, as one of us wanted to stop by Malacca to buy slices of mille crepe from Nadeje, so I thought I might as well since I didn't blow a lot of money at JPO. After enduring the traffic of KL proportions in downtown Malacca (eek) with most of the other cars on the road not bearing Malacca plates, we finally got to the mall outlet. Not much left by the time we got there (beggars can't be choosers), but I ended up with a slice of the mocha and also the Malaccan (basically with gula melaka), which was packed with ice for the drive back.
Got home about 8 something in the evening.
