Singapore! Day 1

3 weeks have come and gone. I can't believe that it passed so fast. My 3 weeks in glorious Singapore.

Like I mentioned in my earlier post, which i posted in Singapore, I would be further blogging about my stay in Singapore when I'm in Malaysia. Well, I'm back, so it's time to get my virtual pen flowing again.

Lets go back when it all began, 17 January 2010 : Day of Departure

We left after church. It was a hectic afternoon on that day. Getting packed, making sure that we didn't leave anything behind, going to the bus station, having lunch...all in the span of an hour before our departure. We departed from Melaka Sentral at 1400 hours and thus began the 1st step to our 3 week stay in Singapore.

Arrived at the Johore Bahru checkpoint at about 1800 hours and crossed the causeway without any problems. It was at the Singapore checkpoint where we got held up. It seamed that we forgot to fill in our white cards while we were in the bus, so we wasted 5 minutes or so filling them up at the counter. BUMMER! Now, we were supposed to board our bus to Lavander, but because we were held up, the bus left. So we were now stranded at Woodlands. But all hope was not lost, we connected to the Aunty Moi Chee hotline and were told to proceed by bus to the nearest MRT station and hed to Tiong Bahru where we would receive further instruction.

After boarding a bus and alighting at Kranji MRT station, we took the Green Line to the checkpoint, Tiong Bahru where we met Commander CK. Commander CK brought us to his hum wee where we loaded our luggage and proceeded to have dinner with Aunty Moi Chee and her relatives. We ate dinner at some Chinese Restaurant in Tiong Bahru, where the food was very nice. Especially the chincau drink.

After dinner, we went to the CK Hotel to stay the night. Anuty Moi Chee and Commander CK was kind enough to open their home for us to stay. Truly a very beautiful house, fit for the Director of Maple Tree and Chairman of Jurong Port. We went to sleep at 0000 hours, in order to prepare ourselves for the day ahead.

Thus was the beginning and the end of the 1^st day in Singapore. And Jonah saw that it was good.
