We set off early in the morning, meeting at 6:30am at Tanjong Pagar Mrt Station to go to the train station together. Our train was scheduled to depart at 7:40am. We did not really know what are the procedures for boarding the train so we blindly followed what the rest of the people did.
We sat in the economy class, each ticket is 7sgd. The cabin was air-conditioned and the seats were reclined seats. It was comfortable except for the fact that I did not know food can be brought into the train and was feeling hungry when a family whipped out their aromatic breakfast. There were tiny cockroaches here and there too, one was on my seat, luckily Dom Dom alerted me to it. Fortunately that was not big enough to make me scream the whole cabin off :p.
The train trip was relatively smooth, with short queues at the Singapore Customs. The disappointment came when we were at Johor train station. Train was not moving for more than 2 hours. It was supposedly to arrive at Kulai station at 0927h but at that point in time we were still at Johor station. Train started moving at approx. 10am. We arrived in Kulai at 1025h.
Using the map I printed out the day before, we managed to navigate to the Giant Hypermarket nearby. Though it was a supposedly 400m walk, the walk seemed super long and tedious due to the poor conditions of the pavement. There were huge holes due to broken drain covers and one can simply put the whole foot into the holes easily. We were hungry and settled our lunch at Marry Brown Restaurant.
The fish fillets were hot on the outside, a bit cold and tasted slightly raw on the inside. There was a slight flour taste in it as well, making it not nice if without the tartar sauce. The rest was quite okay. We went into the supermarket to purchase some tidbits to prevent us from being hungry in the hotel should the food being unable to satisfy. Never did I know that that was 多此一举, ended up we carry a huge bag of stuff which we never get to use and had to carry throughout the trip. After exploring the whole shopping mall, we sat down to have teh peng and milo peng which were very nice and thick.
There was so much time to spend since the taxi which we arranged with the hotel was to arrive at Kulai station at 1:30pm. We walked back to Kulai KTM at 12:45pm.
A sight of a cute Kulai cat before we saw our taxi coming in at 1:05pm. The taxi driver arrived early and was surprised to see us arriving even earlier. We explained that we had been shopping before returning back to the station. We proceeded to board the taxi to Riders Lodge. :D
