The Complete Substitute for All Forms of Sociability

The bus that was taking us back to SG was an hour late. We were supposed to leave KL at 8:30 a.m. but our bus arrived at a quarter past 9:00 a.m. And then, when we were almost at the Johor checkpoint, they suddenly told us that we were changing buses. The new bus then took us all the way to Tuas checkpoint. The line at immigration was very long and it took us about 40 minutes to get to the finish line. Along the way, we made a friend - a Malaysian woman who was working as a domestic helper in Singapore. Once we were back in Singapore, we contacted our friend who told us that she was meeting us at Little India MRT. She was supposed to show us around Little India and Chinatown, but for lack of time (our flight back to Manila was at 1:00 a.m.), we skipped Chinatown and just spent the last of our SGDs in Little India. Our friend treated us to some authentic Indian street food: dosai, garlic and cheese naan, butter chicken, teh tarik (milk tea) and badam milk (tea with almon

DAY 3 of the tour is Malaysia. There were two places we wanted to see: Melaka, Malaysia's Historic City and Kuala Lumpur for the Petronas Twin Towers. Also, I had a friend to see in KL. Melaka is 4 hours away from Singapore by bus. The travel time also accounts for our stop at the border checkpoint in Woodlands, SG and immigration in Johor, Malaysia. From Melaka, it's a 2-hour bus ride to KL. The bus that would take us from SG to Melaka stops at Golden Mile Tower along Beach Road where we bought tickets at 15SGD per ticket. We got there just before the 8:00 a.m. bus arrived and got on that one. Our bus (Starmart Express) made several stops along the way and we finally arrived in Melaka Central Station at past 1:00 p.m. From there, we took a GrabCar to Christ's Church, which is basically the centre of Melaka's historic town, and paid our driver 10MYR (it's only 8MYR but due to some confusion over our pick-up point, we gave him extra 2MYR). The Town Squa

Woke up at 6:30 a.m. and the sun was barely out. Still we had to get an early head start because today is for Universal Studios in Sentosa Island. We took a GrabCar for 12SGD, drop-off point at Resorts World Casino. Universal Studios Singapore opens at around 10:00 a.m. We got there at a little before 8:00 a.m. but there were already a bunch of people there. After taking pics of the famous Universal Studios globe, we decided to have breakfast at Slappy Cakes. Spent 51.20SGD for 2 big breakfasts. We couldn't finish the whole thing so we decided to take out the rest and eat it later for lunch. It rained something fierce while we were having breakfast but then the sun came out and boy was it ever out. For a minute there, I got worried we'll get soaked. I only brought with me a light hoodie that's not even water-proof. Thankfully, the downpour stopped just as we decided to head in. A ticket to the studios costs around PHP2600 through Klook and it will let you in al

  Arrived at Changi Airport Terminal 4 approximately 9:10 a.m. There's no time difference between Manila and SG. After going through airport security and immigration, we met up with our guide at the airport lobby. Made use of the fast airport WiFi to make my first post and freshened up in their beautiful clean bathrooms. 4 others were joining us for the van ride to the hotel. While waiting, we inquired at a mobile stall about mobile Internet. A tourist SIM that you can also use in Malaysia costs 38SGD. You can also get pocket WiFi for 10SGD / day plus a refundable deposit of 200SGD (credit card only). We decided it's too expensive. Our guide told us we could buy SIM at shops near the hotel. Arrived at the Fragrance Crystal Hotel in 50 Lor 18 Geylang at around 10:30 a.m. Check-in is at 3:00 p.m. but they'll do early check-in for 45SGD. Lolwut We decided to walk around and find a restaurant to eat lunch and just come back after. The hotel front desk staff said
