It was started out thanks to AirAsia for their low budget ticket and to my friend who's the pioneer on backpacking with minimum budget to outside the country. Within cheap ticket around IDR 240,000 I had for SUB-JB round-trip at the end of year. It was booked on mid 2nd month of the year, so there's 9 months to go to get immigration stamp on my passport :p
9 months was passed, the day we've been waiting for has come on schedule 27-30.11,2009. Even this destination was a classic destination for backpackers but it means a lot :D The itinerary trip plan was going to Singapore from southern side of Malaysia, that's Johor Bahru city since our round-trip ticket SUB-JB. With 4 friends of mine who like to go backpacking, so that's the time I'm at trans-border of my own state.
So from this trip, some of decided to get immigration stamp by backpacking to countries near border then our passport book will be full (notes: will be overseas yearly,lil bit difficult to achieve). One of the dreams that I thought it should be written somewhere so that we will never forget and it remains as the dream will be achieved. I think everybody will have one of those in their dreams to go overseas with minimum budget :)
The plan trip only away for 4 days, since the public holiday on Friday and we had only one on weekday off. Our first day came to Malaysia from Johor Bahru, called the border city gate to Singapore. After immigration clearance, we looked for a bus station to catch the only land transportation entering to Singapore.
By afternoon we reached Singapore, stopped on bus terminal at North Bridge Rd then we continue our walk as the backpackers do on their way to our hostel.
Our sightseeing plan as well as the destination, so classic that only goes for 3days in Singapore. For cheap shopping, go around on Mustafa, Chinatown or Bugis
For luxurious shopping view, you may visit to Orchard then across the famous island to Indonesian tourist that's Sentosa with the famous attractions was Song of the Sea :))
MRT was the only main land transportation while you're in Singapore until the last day went back to Johor Bahru by bus and stayed one night before flying back to our state.
