1 Day Escape to Singapore :: Family Trip to Kuala Lumpur - Johor > Malaysia -- Day 6, 10th July 2016

Today, my family will go back to Indonesia, and me and my lil bro and his wife, still have 1 day left. So we decided today to visit Singapore using KRL Komuter.

We can use bus to go to Singapore from Johor, but it took some time and heard that when there's traffic, will take almost 3 hours.

So we decided to go by komuter train, which only took 5 minutes.

First, we go to JB Sentral. JB Sentral is where Johor Imigration Check-point located. Either you go by bus or train, or walk, this is where you depart.

The taxi from Hallmark Regency Hotel to JB Sentral is MYR 15, and only took 15 minutes. From taxi drop, go upstair by elevator, and turn right.

Once enter the building, you will see the komuter train locket. Buy the ticket in there.

It cost MYR 5 (IDR 16.500) from Johor Bahru to Woodland Singapore, and it cost SGD 5 (IDR 49.000) from Woodland Singapore to Johor Bahru. But, if you buy round-way in Johor Bahru, it will cost MYR 10 (IDR 33.000) and if you buy round-way from Singapore, it will cost SGD 10 (IDR 98.000).

*exchange rate update at journey time

You can count which one is cheaper.

We buy round-way from Johor Bahru, and it cost MYR 10 (IDR 33.000).

Then, we go to the oposite of locket. There's two waiting room, don't make mistake because one of them is for bus.

this is for bus

this one, left side of the bus waiting seat, is for train komuter

at 08:00, the gate is open. We queue to get in, while the staff will check your ticket. Then we will go to imigration check. They will stamp our passport, so we go out from Johor Bahru.

Then we go to the platform, and get in the train. You can sit wherever you want.

Not much people ride the train because most of people who travelling has a car, or maybe they go by tour group.

It's common train, some of the seat has already broken.

After 5 minutes, we arrive at Singapore Woodland Check-point. We go to Imigration check. They have a strict rule in here, so you can't bring wine, cigarette, and other things that prohibited, or you will get to pay.

Even they ask us, what's our purpose to come to Singapore, and where do we stay. How long will we stay. And had we ever visited Singapore before.

After passed the imigration, we arrive at outside.

we go to Woodland Centre Road

Then we walk around for a while, and at 17:00 we go to Woodland MRT Station. We eat dinner in there, because it's so cheap. Only SGD 2 for Hainan Rice.

It's cheap because they didn't use plate, they use take away method. So they don't have to clean the plate. And we have to throw the trash ourselves.

Then we go ride bus to Woodland Checkpoint and waiting for train departure.

Remember, we can't exchange our ticket to another date. We have to wait for 1.5 hour, but it's okay because it's cheaper.

This time, we passed Singapore imigration, and then go to Johor Bahru imigration first, then go ride the train.

Arrive at Johor Bahru, we go back to hotel by taxi.

After rest for a while, we decided to visit the food court behind the hotel.

We buy 9pcs Pork Satay and 1pcs Lamb Satay. The pork satay is really delicious. 1pcs for 1 RM.

Then we go to sleep. Today is the last day of our trip.

Legoland, Johor Bahru :: Family Trip to Kuala Lumpur - Johor > Malaysia -- Day 5, 9th July 2016

Today, we will play at Legoland for a whole day. I have already bought Legoland Ticket via their official website. There's a promotion, buy 1 and get 50% discount for the 2nd. The ticket price is RM 225/pax for adult and RM 180/pax for children (3-11yo) and Senior (> 60yo).

But I got RM 135/pax for adult, and RM 90/pax for my dad and uncle (senior). There's also a promo 20% discount for book 7-day early and there's many-many promotion in the website.

The admission price is only for Theme Park, and not included the water park ticket. We have to print the ticket that we bought online, to enter the legoland. And it only for 1x entrance, once you come out, you can't go back in.

Our hotel (Hallmark Regency Johor) also offer a discount ticket buy 1 and get 50% discount for the 2nd, and you will got free shuttle to Legoland from hotel. But you have to buy on the spot, or tell them when you booking the room. And don't forget to book the time also, because you have to compete with other traveller.

I reserve a shuttle, for RM 196 (drop and pick up). I ask them to depart at 09:00 and pick us at 16:30.

The weather is so hot, so don't forget to bring sunglasses and hat or umbrella.

Actually, this theme park suitable for children, so many children in there. You can't bring food from outside, but there's so many food stall in there. Just avoid to eat when it's time to eat, or you have to queue.

Don't forget to take the brochure.

Starwars Lego:

 

Worlds Miniature Lego:

There's a playgame, one of them is if you wants to become fireman. You will ride the fireman car with your family, and try to put down the fire.

Airport:

At 16:00 we are already walk out the theme park and go to the mall to wait our car. The car came at 16:30, and we ask them to drop us at JB Central.

JB Central is a mall, and also bus station and train station to Singapore and some other city in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, etc). The immigration office is also located in here. The place is so big, always read the sign when you come here and don't get lost.

After walk around the mall, we decided to go back using taxi. The taxi in here, always prefer to bargain than using metres.

Because we are 8 people, we decided to use 2 taxi. The first taxi gives us RM 10, but the 2nd give us RM 15. I don't know why this could be different.

It only took about 15 minutes to go back to hotel from JB Central.

Today is the last day for some of us because they have to go back to Indonesia tomorrow. I still have 1 day more.
