Episode 49 : Road Trip to JDT!

This week on Zelocast – Glow with the Flow, we're taking the podcast out of the studio and across the Causeway for a special road-trip adventure to Johor Bahru! 🇸🇬➡️🇲🇾With alarms set at an absolutely ridiculous 3:00 AM, the team packed our bags, grabbed our passports, and headed north for a long-weekend getaway to the iconic Sultan Ibrahim Stadium — home of the mighty JDT, the Southern Tigers. 🐯⚽Now, we won't lie... the trip started with mixed emotions.Just hours earlier, Alex and Mr. Engineer were still recovering from Arsenal's heartbreaking defeat to PSG. The wounds were fresh. The pain was real. The tears... may or may not have happened. 😭⚽But the moment we arrived at JDT's stunning crown-shaped stadium, the football blues slowly disappeared.As a die-hard JDT supporter, Alex may have slightly lost control at the merchandise store. By "slightly," we mean he somehow came home with THREE jerseys, a cap, a cup, keychains, and enough souvenirs to start his own mini club shop. 😅The biggest surprise of the trip?We got to experience the VIP treatment usually reserved for football stars by riding in the famous JDT Hummer Limousine! 🚘✨Naturally, we spent the entire ride waving out the windows like celebrities arriving for a cup final. The best part? This incredible experience is provided FREE for the PWD community — a wonderful example of inclusion done right.Of course, this wouldn't be a Zelocast adventure without at least one moment of pure chaos.While exploring the stadium grounds, Alex confidently took a step forward... and immediately plunged one leg into a decorative pond. 💦😂Apparently, his trusted "GPS" (also known as his white cane) decided to take a short break that day.The result? One wet leg, one shocked Alex, and one memory the rest of us will never let him forget.Along the way, we talk about:⚽ Football passion and heartbreak🚦 Surviving 3 AM border traffic🎁 Collecting way too much football merchandise♿ Accessibility and inclusion in sports venues😂 Travel mishaps and unforgettable moments❤️ Why the best journeys are about the people you share them withFrom border jams to stadium tours, laughter to football therapy, this episode reminds us that sometimes happiness isn't found in the destination — it's found in the adventure itself.✨ Together we make a difference. Win or lose, we are still champions.📚 This episode is proudly brought to you by Picture The Book!What if a story could be felt, imagined, and seen — all at the same time?Founded by blind author Sherry Eri, Picture The Book is changing the way children experience stories.
