It has been one of my dream to go to Singapore..or to be more specific to USS lah! :D So after our short escapade to Marina Island Pangkor last April, Air Asia(AA) came out with their free seats offer again! wowwwweeeeee! greeaaaatt! hehe right away i gtalk my hubby and asked for his agreement..Yeyyyyy he agreed!!!! (as usual kalau ajak berjln dia mmg senang laa..hehe) So we bhot flite tix to JB for two..initial plan we wanted to stay in JB coz the hotels are much more cheaper compared to Singapore hotels kaannn..but as we browse thru the net few weeks before we depart, found out there were so many places we wanna go..haiyaaaa so jadiknyer we bhot hotel thru Agoda.com kat Geylang. hehe ok now let me share with u guys our travel flows yehh..hehe
Our flite tix to JB cost us RM220 ruffly coz we bhot the SkyBus tix as well..easier for us lah kan coz flite was at 7:25am on 22nd Sep 2011! we reached KL Sentral ard 4:50am
(festime smpai seawal ni kat kl sentral..hihi). My sis dropped us there..den by 6:15am we reached LCCT and checked in right away. Ohhh we did web check-in a day earlier thru AA website so bolehla check in one hour before our flite departed..xdela kena sampai sana 2hrs before and havta pay summore rite?!!fuhhh we than reached Senai Airport ard 820am and had breakfast dulu before we continued our journey. Me had meehun n hubby had mee goreng plus teh o and milo ais which cost us abt rm21! maheiiiiinyerr! belum smpai Spore lg neh..haihhhh
We never thot that it would be very troublesome taking bus to Singapore via JB..aiyooo it was a very tiring journey we had to face rupenyer! from Senai airport we took bus to JB town cost rm8/person.Then from JB bus station we changed bus plak nk ke woodlands. Masa tukar bas tu bayangkan we had to bring all our belongings together and get a new bus with same bus no like 170 to singapore! ohh emm jiiii! Dis time jugak we'll pass thru the immigration.
The bus tix we bhot from Senai Airport to JB Kotaraya...
JB Sentral..this is my first time to JB Sentral...the place was quite nice..
Then from there we took SBS bus to Woodland Checkpoint and straight to MRT Kranji Station. We reached Kranji at about 11.++am.
We planned to buy MRT tourist pass card for 2 days therefore we need to go to MRT Bugis station to buy it(ekceli byk station lain lg blh beli tp we ols nk stay area geylang so kat situ the nearest station laa). From Kranji station we change train at Jurong East and then we head to Bugis St plak..phewwww thank God the mrt guide really help us a lot! Easy to understand..n yet station dia very structurable(ade ke words niih?hihi) xjenuh nk tukar tren pon..jln kat dlm railway tu je.
Why do we need to get the tourist pass card??its because kat sana mmg train adelah transport utama ye kwn2! so better u olss bli tourist pass card ni kalau nk memudahkan perjalanan sepangjang kat sana..it cost you only S$26/each = RM64.40! Lps tu naikla tren ke bus ke..to anywhere ard Spore! And when u return the pass card back to the station staff u'll get back S$10! best kan?! hehe
What is The Singapore Tourist Pass?
The Singapore Tourist Pass is the only pass that offers tourists unlimited rides on Singapore’s public transport system which includes the MRT, LRT and basic bus services. This excludes Express, Fast Forward, Night Rider, Night Owl, Chinatown Direct and other premium and niche bus services. The Pass also comes bundled with exclusive merchant offerings especially packaged for tourist who purchase the Pass.
Hence passes issued in Singapore come with a rental deposit of S$10 which is fully refundable if the card is returned within 5 days from the date of issuance.
Right at 2pm we reached the Hotel81 Orchid and checked-in! fuhhh..After checked in..rilex2 kejap,solat den we make planned where to go on day first kat sana. :) So we decided to go to Arab St and Merlion Park..wpun di saat tu dah penat sbb turun naik bus n tren tp gagah gak mak buyung ni nk berjalan! hihi yelaaa xkan nk duk je dlm hotel kat tmpt org kannn..rugi arrrr! hehe Hubby pon heran..kan main kuat i olss berjln..hehe :p
This is our hotel room..very small and compact..tp bersihlaa..n sgt sesuai utk bajet traveller cam we olss ni..n xde anak lg summore..so oklaa kann..we paid rm509 for 2 nites. Ruang utk solat pon mmg sgt2 tight! tp boleh je la solat.
From the hotel we took bus no 100 staright to Arab st. Below pix is one of the mosque kat area Arab St..most of their mosque mcm dlm bgunan jer..xbyk mosque sebijik2 mcm kat mesia ni..
