Day 2: Gardens by the bay (outdoor garden), Singapore

Assalamualaikum...

Hai..camana ye nak mulakan entri kali ni. Sebetulnya kami pergi bercuti bukan sebab cuti sekolah sahaja. It was our 10th anniversary celebration too. Kenapa ke Selatan? Sebab our hometown is in the North, selalu dah jalan-jalan sebelah sana. Kali ni nak pergi Selatan pulak. Kenapa tak ke east coast macam Pahang, Terengganu & Kelantan? Hmmm, last few years pergi sana time cuti sekolah stranded in super long jam. ended up travelling for 13hours from Tok Bali to Subang Jaya. Serik!!!

Like I said earlier in the first series of this post, konsep percutian kali ni adalah 'endurance'. Not our kind of specialty sebab we all ni bukan lasak pun. Nasib baik la tak ada yang cedera physically atau patah hati! hehhehehe...

Jom tengok how we fair the day travelling to Singapore by public transportation just limited few hours then rushed back to JB. Kerja gila for 2 adults with 2 young kids! Silalah jangan tiru. Penat physically and mentally.

Another day we started late! Teruk betul. Memang tak boleh kawan dengan orang Jepun. Sure kena ban cam gini. 12.30pm baru sampai City Square cari parking and brunch. Pastu pergi tukar duit then jalan menuju ke CIQ.
Please remember ya kalau nak ke negara orang, (1) Passport masih hidup more than 6 months before expiry (2)tukar duit secukupnya (3)fill up D/E card

Pasal D/E card tu, we were not given the card masa leaving Imigresen kat Malaysia. Ya Allah, we all sendiri pun lupa nak tanya. Main jalan jek. Sampai nak clearance dekat Imigresen Singapore bila ditanya D/E card.. dah gelabah. Siap kena perli, "first time masuk Singapore ke?". Haaaa nasib baik perli kalau kena marah ke? nayaaaa..dah la beratur panjang...memang macam race sebab lepas clearance kena kejar balik pegi naik bas! This is the part where you don't lose your bus ticket. Kalau tak, kena beli lain la kot.

To be honest, travelling to Singapore by land macam bas henti-henti untuk non-local Johorian atau consider tourist macam we all itu hari sangat lah tak digalakkan. Especially with small and young kids. Unless you bujang happy go lucky, memang jenis tak kejar masa, nak merasai susahnya berulang alik dan rough tough. Heeeee... Kalau rasa tak suka menunggu, kena jalan jauh, peluh-peluh ni hentikanlah!!! Takut nanti jadi drama lain plak. Yang menangis berguling tengah jalan ke, yang masam muka tarik muncung 14 ke..hish jadi tak best plak nak bercuti kannnnnn..

Dari CIQ nak setel imigresen check then turun bawah ke station bus, dahhhhh kena jalan jauh! Luckily I tak pakai high heels. But I wore dress. Aduhai, terkedek jugak lah jalan nya. So much of endurance race la konon. OOTD nak ke Singapore tu dah kena. Dengan maxi dress, cardigan as outer wear, pakai Madison instant hijab by SugarScarf lagi... hahahah tapi part kena jalan ramai-ramai, tunggu bas dan peluh sebab cuaca agak panas juga. Hmmm tu yang rasa.... tak kena la sangatttttt...

We all boarded SBS Transit Bus number 170 to Kranji Station. Murah je tiket. 4 orang tak sampai 5RM rasanya. Sediakan duit kecil ya. Naik dekat Malaysia pakai RM. Naik from Singapore back to Malaysia nanti kena pakai SGD lah. Kids excited ah naik bas. Cam jakun pun ada. Semua nak tegur.

Alighted the bus at Kranji station menggagau cari MRT platform pulak. Can you believe that at that point of time baru decided nak ke mana kita? Husband initially nak ajak gi Bugis Street. Before looking at the MRT map i dah macam alah nak gi Bugis Street ni macam tempat shopping. Apa kes nak shopping kat Singapore. Habis duit ye tak. Currency mahal tuh. Kalau gi jalan-jalan pun okay. Tu yang dalam kepala otak terbayang Gardens by the Bay. Hari tu tengok gambar dan baca blogpost saudara Wazari Wazir memang dah simpan angan-angan nak sampai jugak tempat tu.

Sebetulnya we had so limited time there. Pusing sekitar outdoor garden jek. Tu pun naik trem plus sikit jalan2 nearby. SGD2 kot per person kalau tak silap. Gardens by the Bay has so much to offer. The supertrees waktu malam dengar kata and tengok gambar..cantik gila super awesome! Ada Skyway, Flower Dome lah, Cloud Forest bagai semuaaaaa we missed it. Sebab those kena bayar entrance fee starts from 12 SGD kot seorang adult. Wasted lah kalau takat masuk 1/2 hour kan.

Bye for now Singapore. Insya allah we will revisit soon for USS (entah bila, berangan itu percuma!). No more naik bas macam hari tu! Cukup cukup sudah. Hahahhahaha..
