Escape to Johor Bahru: Stunning 2BR Canon Suite near CIQ!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the "Escape to Johor Bahru: Stunning 2BR Canon Suite near CIQ!" – and trust me, it's a wild ride. Forget the sanitized brochures, we're going FULL HONESTY MODE. And honestly? The first thing that hits you is the sheer amount of stuff this place packs in. Seriously, it's like the Swiss Army knife of hotels.
First Impressions: A Sensory Overload (in a good way!)
Okay, accessibility. They say they're wheelchair accessible. I didn't personally roll around in a wheelchair, but the photos look promising, with elevators and whatnot. I'd call ahead and double-check, because things can always be a bit… optimistic in reviews.
Now, the sheer volume of stuff! Let's just say, if you're overwhelmed by choices, this could be your happy place… or your nightmare. On-site accessible restaurants & lounges? They've got the works. Think a veritable buffet of options, from Asian to Western, fancy to casual. You could literally spend a week and not eat the same thing twice. But, and this is a BIG but, let's talk about dinner at one of these places.
Look, the A la carte offered a bunch of options and Asian cuisine in restaurant, including an excellent soup. The buffet had an Asian breakfast and a Western breakfast. There's a bar, a coffee shop, desserts in restaurant, happy hour, poolside bar, restaurants, snack bar, a vegetarian restaurant, everything.
The Suite Life: Living Large (and Maybe Losing Track of Your Socks)
We took a look at the "Canon Suite". Damn. It was… well, it was HUGE. Two bedrooms! Air conditioning blasting! That feeling of walking into a hotel room and feeling the cool, crisp air hit your face? Pure bliss. In all rooms, air filters and other appliances, including free Wi-Fi, were available. Free Wi-Fi! That's a winner from the start. There's also Internet access with LAN.
The room itself was decked out with everything. Air conditioning to help you stay comfy. All the amenities that you would need, alarm clocks, bathrobes, bathroom phone, bathtubs, blackout curtains, carpeting, closet, coffee/tea makers, complimentary tea, daily housekeeping, desks, extra-long beds, free bottled water, hair dryers, high floors, in-room safe boxes, interconnecting rooms available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, ironing facilities, laptop workspaces, linens, mini bars, mirrors, non-smoking rooms, on-demand movies, private bathrooms, reading lights, refrigerators, safety/security features, satellite/cable channels, scales, seating areas, separate showers/bathtubs, showers, slippers, smoke detectors, sockets near the bed, sofas, soundproofing, telephones, toiletries, towels, umbrellas, visual alarms, wake-up services, Wi-Fi [free], and windows that open. The additional toilet was a massive plus for those late-night trips to the loo.
The "Fun Stuff": Pools, Spas, and Massages (Oh My!)
Okay, let's talk about the relaxin’ aspects. The swimming pool? Yeah, it was pretty sweet, with a pool with a view. They also have a fitness center, sauna, spa, and steamroom. I was going to try the spa, but the line was longer than a queue for a Taylor Swift concert. And the massage? I heard whispers of pure bliss. The "Body scrub" and "Body wrap" options? I’m not sure. But I'd totally be up for them. Honestly, it's the kind of place where you could easily lose a day just wandering around, trying to decide what to do because there's. so. much. stuff.
Food Glorious Food (and the Occasional Hiccup)
Alright, let's cut to the chase: the food. You've got options. So. Many. Options. Asian, Western, buffet, a la carte. My advice? Pace yourself. The breakfast buffet was an experience. You know how sometimes, a buffet is… a buffet? This one was actually pretty good. Lots of variety, and the coffee actually tasted like coffee, not burnt disappointment. The coffee shop was also nice to have there.
Cleanliness and Safety: Trying to Breathe Easy
This is important these days. They're pushing the "clean and safe" angle, and from what I saw, they were trying. Anti-viral cleaning products, hand sanitizer everywhere, staff in masks. They mention "Daily disinfection in common areas". It's all about a feeling and trying to stay safe. The rooms were sanitized between stays, with safe dining setup, sterilized kitchen and tableware items. It’s a lot, but it made me feel a bit more comfortable.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
Doorman? Check. Daily housekeeping? Check. Luggage storage? Oh, you betcha. They have a concierge. I'm a sucker for a good concierge. They can book taxis, point you in the right direction, handle all the stressful little details. 24-hour front desk, elevator, facilities for disabled guests and even facilities for disabled guests and a convenience store. They even offer currency exchange, laundry service, and room service [24-hour].
For the Kids (and the Kid in You):
Babysitting service? Check. Family-friendly? Definitely. Kids facilities? They have them, although I didn’t have any kids in tow so I couldn’t tell you everything.
Getting Around: Easy Peasy (Mostly)
Airport transfer? Available. Car park? Free. Taxi service readily available. They’ve got you covered.
The "Things to Do" Rundown: Beyond the Pool
Look, you're in Johor Bahru. There's more to do than just hang out by the pool. They have a business center. They offer outdoor venue for special events and hotel meetings.
What Could Be Better (Because No Place is Perfect)
- The sheer volume of options: Seriously, it can be overwhelming. You might need a vacation from your vacation to recover.
- Might need more staff: This is a big place and service, while generally good, could occasionally be a little slow.
So, Should YOU Book? The Verdict:
Okay, here’s the raw truth.

Mumbai 1BHK: Your Dream Apartment Awaits! (Easy Access!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to orchestrate a trip to the legendary… Country Garden @ 2BR 4pax near CIQ Johor Bahru. Honestly, just the name sounds like a theme park, or maybe a retirement home. Let’s see…
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Malaysian Food Gauntlet (or, The Battle of the Stomach)
10:00 AM – Touchdown in Singapore (and immediate regret). Okay, I’ll be brutally honest. I hate airports. I always feel like I’m being herded, and the security lines are a special type of torture. But…duty calls. This is the jumping-off point.
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM – The Border Blues. Crossing into Johor Bahru. This is where the adventure really begins. The customs line? A freaking queue-a-thon. Packed like sardines, and the air smells vaguely of exhaust fumes and… anticipation? The kids (that’s us, the four of us) are already whining, and I’m fantasizing about the glorious AC of the Country Garden apartment.
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM – Taxi Troubles and Triumph! Finding a taxi. Negotiating a price. Getting ripped off slightly. This is a rite of passage, right? Finally, we're in a cab, zooming towards our promised land. The traffic? Oh, the traffic. Let's just say, the kids (again, that's us) have already started a game of "I Spy."
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM – Check-in Chaos at Country Garden (fingers crossed…). Actually finding the place. Praying it’s not as "country" as the name suggests. Navigating the sheer vastness of Country Garden. Check-in: The receptionist might be a genius at multitasking. She's juggling us, some paperwork, and a screaming toddler, and still manages to smile. The good start!
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM – Room Revelation! The apartment… it's bigger than I thought. The kids instantly claim the beds, and I'm secretly thrilled by the AC. My partner is already testing the WiFi.
3:00 PM - 6:00 PM – The Food Frenzy Begins. Ah, the reason we're here! We’re venturing out!
- Hakka Restaurant: Okay, first stop, what I heard was a local gem – Hakka fare. The noodles… oh, the noodles. Not enough space to write about this. The Lei Cha might be a little much, but I will try it!
- KSL City Mall: This place is a sensory overload. Cheap clothes, questionable souvenirs, and the intoxicating aroma of fried everything. The kids are in heaven, and I'm secretly craving a Starbucks for a caffeine shot. We sample… everything!
- Late-night street food: Honestly, I didn’t even catch the name of the stall (street names here can be treacherous, you would be lost in a second!), we have been eating until we explode. Delicious, cheap, and probably not good for my cholesterol.
6:00 PM - Late – Food Coma City. Back in the apartment. Everyone's stuffed. The kids are sprawled out watching cartoons (thank god for the internet), and I'm already dreaming of tomorrow's food adventures.
Day 2: Culture, Chaos, and Questionable Souvenirs
- 9:00 AM – Morning of Delights or Disasters? Waking up, feeling sluggish, and hoping the food coma has subsided. Coffee, please!
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM – Heritage Hunt (or Trying to Look Cultured). We're off to the historic district! (I hope there are some air conditioned places!)
- The Johor Bahru Chinese Heritage Museum: This is cool, but the kids are more interested in their phones.
- The Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque: Stunning architecture, worth the look.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM – Lunch at… (Wait, What was That?!) I saw a place, looks like we're eating! Anything after food will be a delightful experience.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM – Shopping Spree and Souvenir Shenanigans. Back to KSL Mall, but this time with a mission: gifts! The kids are clamoring for… everything. I'm trying to be sensible, but the discounts are tempting.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM – Legoland (Or the Existential Dread of Theme Parks). Okay, I thought for sure we could skip Legoland, but the kids won that battle. The queues! The heat! The relentless consumerism! The rides, though… are kinda fun. (Don't tell anyone.)
- 6:00 PM - Late – Dinner, Debrief, and Doubt. Another restaurant… This one is a proper meal to wash away the day. The kids are exhausted, and I'm starting to feel the same way. We’re all trying to put the pieces of our day together. Did we do everything right? Was there too much Legoland?
Day 3: Relaxation, Retail Therapy, and (Perhaps) Another Food Coma
- 9:00 AM – Sleep? What’s Sleep? The kids woke up at dawn. Coffee. Lots of coffee.
- 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM – Pool Time (or the Art of Doing Nothing). The Country Garden pool! A chance to actually relax. The kids are splashing around, I'm attempting to read my book (but getting interrupted every five seconds), and my partner is probably secretly checking emails. Bliss.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM – Lunch by the Pool… Maybe. Trying to find something that isn’t too far from the pool.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM – Second Shopping Excursion. Yes, I know, we said we were done. But there are still things to buy!
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM – Massage and… (I Hope) Peace. I’ve booked a massage. I deserve this. The kids? They can figure it out.
- 6:00 PM - Late – Final Feast and Farewell. One last meal. One last taste of Malaysia. One last battle with the kids to put them to bed. Sigh. The trip is coming to an end.
Day 4: Departure and the Post-Trip Blues
- 9:00 AM – Packing and Panic. Trying to pack. Reminding myself to leave souvenirs.
- 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM – Late Check-Out. Trying to get out of the apartment on time.
- 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM – Border Crossing… Again. The same line, the same fumes, the same anticipation. But this time, also a tinge of sadness.
- 12:00 PM – Singapore Departure.
And that’s it. A whirlwind of food, chaos, and questionable life choices. Would I do it again? Absolutely. Will I remember every detail? Probably not. But that’s part of the fun, isn’t it? Now, where did I put my passport…?
Unbelievable Chalet Blanchot Deal: Paradiski Ski Heaven Awaits!
So, what is this *thing* you're talking about? Like actually, what is it *for*?
Ugh, alright, this is the dreaded "defining the indefensible" question. It’s supposed to be… a collection of random thoughts and answers, I guess? Sort of like a digital diary, but instead of me just mumble-writing to myself, it's… well, it’s this. It’s supposed to be a messy, honest, funny, and absolutely human thing full of answers *and* me trying to work out the actual questions. It’s *for* thinking. And for having a laugh. Maybe for connecting -- if anyone ACTUALLY reads this mess.
Okay, but *who* is it for? Is this supposed to be, like, helpful?
Helpful? HA! Well, hopefully, but, no promises. I'm not a guru. I'm just a person, y'know? I'm probably not even going to be all that helpful to *myself* by the time I reach the end of this thing. If you happen to stumble across this and get something out of it... great! But if you come here expecting some kind of, like, step-by-step guide, or a perfectly organized and bullet-pointed instruction manual, you are in the *wrong* place. I am not that person. I am an inconsistent, overthinking, occasionally brilliant, and often exasperating human, myself. Take what you need, leave the rest.
Right, right, "messy and honest." So, what's the worst thing about *it*? Be honest!
Oh, the worst thing? Ugh. Okay, let me be brutally honest. The worst thing is probably how *unfinished* it feels. Like, I’ve got all these ideas buzzing around in my head, like frantic bees, and trying to corral them into something coherent is… well, it's like herding cats. And also, the fear of judgment! Every time I open this thing, I’m tempted to delete everything and just go back to scrolling aimlessly on my phone. The vulnerability is… oof. Yeah, it's a struggle. But I'm trying to move past it, you know?
What are your *goals*? What do you hope to accomplish with this?
Haha! Goals! Okay, here's the thing. My "goal" is to see if I can keep this going for… a week? A month? Honestly, I think I'll probably just end up getting distracted and losing interest and deleting it. I mean, I actually *have* deleted previous attempts a million times, but this time, I want to try to stick with it. Honestly, I don't know if it works. I don’t know if it's a good idea. But I think I can find some joy in the process. So, the goal is to… learn (maybe about myself, maybe about you). To create. And, if I get lucky, maybe laugh a little along the way.
So how does it differ from a blog post? Or like, a social media post?
Oh, God, don't even get me started on social media. The whole thing makes me want to crawl under a rock. This is supposed to be different because… well, because it CAN be different. A blog post, you know, is usually polished. It's edited. It's trying to convey a certain message, to present an image. Social media? Forget about it. It's all performance, all the time. This is supposed to be… less performative. More… *me*. The messy bits, the uncertain bits, the "wait, what was I thinking?" bits. It's an attempt at authenticity, even if that authenticity involves me occasionally rambling about how much I hate authenticity. See? I’m already going off the rails.
What are you *really* passionate about then? (And does it have to do with this thing?)
Now you're asking the big questions! Honestly? I’m passionate about… okay, this is hard. I am truly passionate about music, the power it holds to connect and express... but I will admit, music is what this is about, I think! Oh, and food! Good food, shared with the people I love? Unbeatable. And… oh, God, this is embarrassing. I'm passionate about the little things. The perfect cup of coffee in the morning. The way the sunlight hits the leaves in the autumn. The feeling you get when you come home after a super long day. Does *that* come through in this? I don't know. Actually, am *I* passionate about this? Or just… curious? I'm trying to figure that out, too.
And what is this *actually about* right now?
Okay, deep breath. Right now, it’s about… the fear of failure. The constant need to… create something. Anything. The struggle to silence that judgmental voice in my head. It’s about trying to figure out where I feel most at home. I think about that a lot, and that's what this is about, I guess. It’s a journey to some sort of understanding of what I really care about and who I am. I feel like I might be getting closer to something meaningful. Or maybe I’m just lost. Either way, it's a mess, but a *beautiful* mess, I think.
Where will this go? Will there be more than words? What form will this take?
I hope this evolves! I’d like to add some pictures and music that resonates with me, to explain myself. But if the answer is just words, then that's okay. I don’t know. I’m trying to develop myself with the words, or perhaps try it with pictures. I am no artist, but I know what moves me. I'm trying to figure out how to share that in a way that feels real. I guess we'll see?!
