Visiting Singapore

This was the time to visit Singapore. After finished my breakfast at 8.30, I and Ananta Bambang went to Singapore. It was our luck, Mr Harry Roekanto managed us to get Harbour Bay, Batu Ampar. The fare to Singapore was Rp198.000. We used a Wave Master ferry to get there at 11.00 or 12.00 local time. By MRT we reached Orchard Road. The fare was S$2.60.

The MRT is amazing. It is on time and efficient. Ticket dispensers are provided at stations. A passenger may get a ticket from it by ticking the destination and inserting coins or bill. He will get a ticket and the change. The change will not more than S$4.00 so if the fare is only S$2.60 then a S$10.00 can not be inserted to the dispenser. We took North East (NE) route to get Dhoby Ghaut from Harbour Front. Dhoby Ghaut Station is an interchange of NE with NS route. The NS route brougth us to Orchard Road.

At Asian Food Mall we had lunch. I took a bowl of mix vegetable noodle, S$4.00. Then we just walked along the road. We did zuhr and asr salah at Masjid Al Falah. At 04.00 we started to be back. We used MRT, the same route but opposite direction, S$2.60. We had an early dinner at the foodcourt of Harbour Front. I had a plate of rice and fish curry. We got a ferry departure at 17.55 local time. The fare was S$21.00. We landed at Batu Ampar 40 minutes later. We took taxi to get us to the hotel. I paid Rp34.000 for the taxi.
