Day 2: Retail therapy at the Johor Premium Outlets (JPO):
On Sunday, the group
spent approx 4.5 hours at the region’s first premium outlets, the Johor Premium
Outlets or popularly known as JPO among the locals (opened recently in December
2011) for a shopping spree.

Located at Indahpura, Kulaijaya, it's
about 45 minutes drive from Johor Bahru. Comparative to the similar premium outlets branch in Paju, South Korea (where the writer and her two other JPIT
colleagues have been to last March - refer previous post by Abby Rahman), JPO is relatively
smaller in size but still maintain the original layout of stores.

Johor
Premium Outlets offers range of discounts on almost 80 designer brands namely
Ralph Lauren, Burberry and Armani Exchange etc. With retailers covering fashion,
sportswear, lifestyle, luggage, and jewellery, JPO is the perfect destination
for shopaholics looking for high-end retail therapy at a discounted rate. Nevertheless, please bear in mind that NOT everything offered in JPO is super real cheap (from my personal observations lah!). Some are just slightly cheaper than usual which makes the (discounted) price the
same as outside stores on discounts too. You have to take (your own sweet, hehe) time and be extra selective to source for good (and affordable) bargain at the stores.

Regardless, each of us left JPO with (at least) one paper bag in hand (oppsss!). Luckily, the crowd was very much bearable on that particular day, making it less hassle for us to shop without having to queue up long at the cashiers.

We left JPO after lunch + Zohor prayer and reached BNM HQ around 6pm. Although it was just a short trip, the writer and her colleagues enjoyed themselves very much. All in all, it was a fun-filled & exciting weekend getaway for us all...
Special thanks
& credit to Club-i 2012 committee for organising the trip!!!
