Left Malaysia via Bukit Indah bus service of EW3 via 2nd Link towards Jurong East (JE) MRT. The journey took about 1 hour half, i wonder how can they tahan the in and out when it takes so long, in fact JE-> Bukit Indah direct is so so much faster, when they dun detour to Gelang Patah (time consuming coz smaller roads). This is the first time i'm going in via Public Bus thru 2nd Link. The other times was either via Causeway or Chartered bus.
Clearing JB side of the custom is so fast, either thru Auto-gate or the counter, and its just a small hall as compared to Singapore side. It is relatively ok size if there are not many people passing through it at any one time.
Singapore side was abit slow, not due to their inefficiency or manning only a few counters despite having a huge hall with over 20 counters. It was due to apperantly my name was too long for the computer to read it at one go and had to re-scan a few times, might be coz their comp cacat gua. they even had to call inside to release pun. after clearing that, i had to run to the bus and reach the bus almost last few passenger and had to stand, luckily was not too long a journey.
Then from the JE MRT headed towards Vivo City (Harbour Front MRT). Hang around there for awhile, had Carls Junior Cheese set promo for lunch. Their current cheese set burger with bacon is great, coz alot of cheese unlike some place cheesy wedges with "less" cheese on it.
Waited in front of Vivo City, where all the buses are. Its the side where there is the big frontage of GV, Tangs, etc with the water features that make a good place to take photo, except under the hot hot sun. RWS8 is the bus that you would wanna look for, it will bring u to "holland" before heading for the sentosa bridge. RWS is just on the right side, facing Vivo City.
The main attraction for now is the Casino, which is even more well decorated than in Genting Highlands. The table games are in the center, which all the slot machines on the left and right. They even have people to bring the drinks, Bottled water (from Malaysia, its not "new" water), Coffee, Tea to the machines if you are too engross in playing the slot games, and donating more money towards the beloved shareholders. Their table game are mostly Min bet S10, $20, $50 , $200. The Min bet $5 only for "Big/ Small" which has 2 tables for non-smoking, and 3 tables for smoking area. Their "Big/ Small" table has become much smaller, which hope dun reduce the fun. They used to have 2 to 3 Croupier/Dealer per table, but has now reduced it to 1 with the smaller size table. Their Max bet per round for $5 table is $15000/$20000. Most of the tables accept bets up to $50000 per round. I wonder how are the bets and stake like in Maxim club, Singapore/ PR room, International room.
The main purpose of casino is to make money for its shareholders and not ensure that the customer do not lose money (MP for one of the GRC in Singapore, 2010)
After having a tour of the place, we headed back to Vivo city to pick up some bargains.
I bought the Dumb bell alarm clock. When the alarm clock rings and wake u up, it would require you to work out by dumb-belling it for 30 times. Weight of dumb bell is 660g (as claimed) without batteries.
Then we went to Plaza Singapura and had tea at MOS Burger (Jap burger stall). Small and cute burgers for very reasonable price. My next table was "small kids" with rich parents (i assume, coz either Iphone 4 or BB Bold or HTC)
Then she was saying that she was chatting on msn and A said Hi BB. She thought A got to go (BB=bye bye). Then A said (BB=Baby)... =.= 4 me BB would be Blackberry.
After finish "updating" about friends, they started to talk about teacher's of their school.
With my cute burger finish, we move on towards Orchard road, and it was raining heavily. so we took the MRT, which even at 5pm the train was not jam packed unlike LRT or Monorail's or other public transport in our Capital city.
We just walk around Ion orchard, Wisma Atria, Taka. Then went to AMK to have a look, since both exit to Johor would be pack with people going back to the city after work.
In summary: JE->Vivo City->RWS->Vivo City->Plaza Singapura->Ion Orchard->Wisma Atria->Taka->AMK Hub->JE.
Looking at the MRT lines, i have covered North, South, East, West.
I feel that Singapore girl's are prettier and smarter in dolling themselves up, more well developed. Have more character in themselves. But they are said to be more materialistic and very individualistic.
