Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal (TMFT) – Changi Airport Shuttle Bus Service

27 June, 201731 December, 20171 Comment

Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal and Changi Airport are situated pretty close to each other, and I've actually wondered for quite a while if it's possible for some sort of integration between the two facilities so that the airport could also serve the nearby Indonesian islands just like how the SkyPier at Hong Kong International Airport … Continue reading Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal (TMFT) – Changi Airport Shuttle Bus Service

Singapore to Bali by Land and Sea: A 7-day mini-adventure for under S$500!

24 June, 201722 March, 2019Leave a comment

After having read all my posts on my trip from Singapore to Bali by Land and Sea, you might think that I've spent a lot on this trip considering that I've travelled in First Class on the ship from Batam to Jakarta, in Eksekutif Class on all long-distance trains and slept in hotels instead of … Continue reading Singapore to Bali by Land and Sea: A 7-day mini-adventure for under S$500!

Day 2: Disembarking from the KM Kelud at the Port of Tanjung Priok

1 June, 20172 June, 20176 Comments

The KM Kelud was already outside of the Port of Tanjung Priok at around 5pm, when dinner was served, and stopped short of entering the port. After about another half an hour of non-movement, the captain made an announcement saying that we are "drifting" as they are waiting for the pilot to board the ship to … Continue reading Day 2: Disembarking from the KM Kelud at the Port of Tanjung Priok

Day 2: PELNI KM Kelud from Batam (Batu Ampar) to Jakarta (Tanjung Priok)

31 May, 20171 June, 20173 Comments

I was awoken at around 4.30am for the Subuh prayer blasted on the PA system. While there was a slight buffer thanks to my cabin door, somehow it felt really loud as compared to the ones in the day time. After the prayer, I couldn't get back to sleep since I slept for quite a … Continue reading Day 2: PELNI KM Kelud from Batam (Batu Ampar) to Jakarta (Tanjung Priok)

While having my lunch, I was informed by the staff that there was another guy sharing my room and he could get me another room for a fee of Rp100,000. I obliged, and then another staff said Rp200,000 would be good, to which I responded that I could almost buy another Economy Class ticket at … Continue reading Day 1: PELNI KM Kelud from Batam (Batu Ampar) to Jakarta (Tanjung Priok)

Day 1: Boarding the PELNI KM Kelud at Batu Ampar Port

28 May, 20173 June, 20174 Comments

On first impression, the crowd wasn't intimidating after all. When I joined the queue, there was a grand total of 4 passengers - that's number of people and not groups - ahead of me, so I was processed rather fast by the guy scanning my ticket, tearing his portion off and stamping my hand with … Continue reading Day 1: Boarding the PELNI KM Kelud at Batu Ampar Port

Day 1: Batam Fast from Singapore (HarbourFront Centre) to Batam (Batam Centre)

27 May, 201728 May, 20171 Comment

After completing my journey From London to Singapore in 40 Days, I figured that the journey could be further extended with transport options south of Singapore. Sure, Sentosa was the touristy *cringe* southernmost point of “continental Asia” (which is untrue by the way) and of my trip, but that’s not the most inspiring place to be. The neighbouring … Continue reading Day 1: Batam Fast from Singapore (HarbourFront Centre) to Batam (Batam Centre)
