We drove in to Singapore on a weekday. Or should I say, I drove in... according to Singapore laws on driving, once you become a permanent resident, you cannot drive in Malaysian cars anymore. Hence I was the driver for the next few days in Singapore, no joke! :)
From Tuas, Johor, we passed the customs, opened our boot for inspection, went through the counters, showed our passports, paid the VEP or whatever it is called.... and using google maps as our guide, we managed to get to Mercure Hotel at Stevens Road without and glitch, Thank God for journey mercies, our one hour long journey was smooth. Parked our car at the hotel basement and registered ourselves to this pleasant and comfortable hotel.
Driver in Singapore....
Our destination...
Our place to stay for the next few days...
Lazy chair for me to do relax while they work...
From our 18th floor window....
20 minutes walk from our hotel to Orchard Road...
The hotel provides shuttle van service every half hour to and from
T-Galleria Mall at Orchard Road....
Very convenient for us....
We normally take the shuttle bus and from T-Galleria....
And walked around.... no shopping though...
Lots of walking and talking.....
Good to be together again!
Good to have the shuttle bus or van service, very conveniently.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the room rate there? Bet it costs a fortune...even before conversion.
ReplyDeleteVery nice family outing to Singapore. The shuttle sure makes it very convenient to move around.
ReplyDeletegreat outing with the 'youngster'...
ReplyDeleteI heard of Mercure Hotel before
ReplyDeleteThe mall is spectacular, so modern and artistic; also huge! And your hotel is very nice, luxurious and lovely rooms. So Ipoh is about an hour from Singapore? Only a short trip.
ReplyDeleteSingapore is like your 2nd home now.
ReplyDeleteNice hotel room. Look comfy.
So now your children are working in Singapore now. 😄
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice trip spending with the whole family. What a weird driving law.
