New task from boss where we could not say NO...*sweat* plus many other own jobscope to handle...
Here comes ~ What to do in JB_part 4
Went to a floating book store...Kumar brought me there...
Yeeha... has been postponing this trip twice...phoo... this ship is the world oldest one, she is 96 years old (yup, older than Titanic)...
Excited me at the side of rescue boat... (walao..my hand so short and chubby...>.<''' but hey this is not the main topic hor...hahaha...)
Ta da...legendary floating book fair... actually there is another portion of the book fair which solely selling Christianity books/CDs, however, that is small portion compared to this one.
Cook books are one of my recent favourites now, heehee...The books there are unique and they are not expensive as I thought too...Cool...this is what the main purpose of MV Doulos - Bringing knowledge, help and hope.
This ship has been well maintained which she has been also rebuilt for twice (else she is unable to sail due to some marine rules...). Never thought that this ship is quite big, she used to be passenger cruise.
Doulos is recognised in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest active ocean-going passenger ship.
Doulos has visited more than 100 countries in including Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and many island nations.
See the word GBA? Doulos was purchased in 1977 by GBA Ships e.V. (previously known as Good Books for All), a private, non-profit, charitable organisation registered in Germany.
OMG... i forgot his name *shy*, one of the crews. He is from Germany and he is 31years old too. For those who like to volunteered themselves to serve in this ship, they need to find their own sponsor, once onboard, they need to stay with the ship for 2 years and yes, zero salary. He is enjoying his work here with other crew members out of 50 different nations.
Our dinner at the KFC stall...We got 5 zinger burgers + 4 colonel burgers + 4 pcs of original chicken for only RM20!!! Yippieeee....Why? Because
the stall closed at 10pm, if they dun sell for cheaper rate, they must throw them away...

Good bye Doulos (it will be decommissioned this year). Well, the spread of knowledge will not stop here, the rest of the crew will continue to stop at world wide ports by sailing with a new ship called Logos!
Here comes the floating restaurant ~
Ya, is time to explore Gelang Patah, the area where I am staying now.
Went 3 weeks ago. This is the entrance.
The walkway before we reached the restaurant.
The side views ~
The restaurant ~ unfortunately, it is about to buka puasa at that time, so, we need to wait until all are served - the muslims, before they can serve us...hmmm... no choice, we decided to not to wait...
Some views before we left...
Saw this before we left...OMG...floating karaok...interesting but no thanks, will not sing k here... :P
Off we go for dinner... Click here for more food and review.
This is a new restaurant with air conditioned in Gelang Patah.
Hmm...heard from colleague about this restaurant...so we decided to have our dinner here..This shop is located opposite Gelang Patah EON Bank (near old Chua Kee if you know this area)...
Dun be shocked, other than bird nest, it sells other food too.
Nice decor... Comfortable for dining...
My dessert... not so sweet, was too full to enjoy it..:P...the taste is normal, no surprise...btw, Karen took this during our lunch today.
Other specialties...porridge and set lunch...
Our dinner... Overally, the food is considered quite ok, the vege is oily but is delicious. Worth a 3rd time dine in....~ in future :)
