Heading to KL again, I was definitely not going to get the train after what I had experienced, so I went back to my old reliable Starmart Express. This time though, Starmart has new 12.45am departures, so I opted for that as I didn't want a super early start in KL for this trip. As … Continue reading Starmart Express: Golden Mile Tower Singapore to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) by Bus

It's been 8 years since 108 years of Singapore railway history had ended on 1 July 2011 when the railway land from Tanjung Pagar to south of Woodlands Train Checkpoint was handed back to Singapore and KTM train services ended serving central Singapore. Every year close to the anniversary or on the anniversary itself, I've … Continue reading KTM Singapore Sector: 8 Years On – What’s New and What’s Still The Same
From the flagship flight of Malaysia Airlines, it's now back to reality on Malaysia Airlines' most frequent international route, from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore on Malaysia Airlines MH607, the last leg of this UK and Ireland holiday. From the Satellite Terminal, it's a familiar Aerotrain ride over to the Main Terminal Building to catch the … Continue reading Flight Review – Malaysia Airlines MH607: Kuala Lumpur to Singapore (from London Heathrow) by Boeing 737-800
Despite being on a very familiar flight route with a familiar airline, this time, I'm heading to a rather different destination.

Coming out from the rather temporary walkway from Butterworth Railway Station, I found myself back in Penang Sentral's ticketing area where I had my Easybook booking in my phone which I made while on the train ride from Anak Bukit to Butterworth. Choices were rather limited to travel back to Singapore here, with just two … Continue reading Sri Maju Express: Penang Sentral (Butterworth) to Woodlands Checkpoint (and Golden Mile Complex) by Bus
