Malaysia
8:00 AM
Since we are already in Singapore, me and my friend Jenn decided to go to Malaysia since its just very near.
I did some research on what transportation we need to take to get there as soon as possible. We need to arrive there early and then go back to Singapore.
As I have researched, the easiest way we could get there would be by bus and its also the cheapest way. We traveled from our place Choa Chu Kang going to Golden Mile Complex.
We purchased our ticket on the spot and it cost us $30.00. The time that we chose is 11:30 PM and since it would take 6 hours of travel time, by morning we will be arriving in Malaysia.
After we purchased our tickets, we hop in to the bus and got to the seats we preferred. There aren't a lot of passengers in the bus. The best thing about it is that you could stretch you legs since its like a lazy boy. When you compare it to the buses in the Philippines that your legs and feet would go numb after hours of seating down.
We then fell asleep during the journey.
We just woke up when our bus driver turned on the lights and told us to go to the immigration. There would be immigration stops when you are in the boundary of another country. In my case, they just took my passport and ask me why I wanted to go to Malaysia, and I gave them the simplest answer - to see the Petronas Twin Towers.
After going through the immigration and stamping it with a 30 days stay, we then headed back to the bus. I continued my sleep and just woke up when we arrived.
We arrived there early in the morning around 5am. I don't have any idea on where we are and thought of just staying there until morning or maybe walk around. The feel of Malaysia at that time was like the Philippines, it's kinda scary to walk around at dawn. There are a lot of Malaysians around and look so scary.
Since we don't want to take a taxi going to the Twin Towers nor walk on the street, Jen found new found friends that are also Filipinos and are passengers of our same bus.
Since we are heading on the same destination, we decided to just give our share for the taxi fare. When we arrived there in the Petronas Towers, we looked around for the guard that would give tickets.
The purpose of the ticket is to allow us to go the Skybridge. There are only limited slots so its a first come first serve basis.

When the Petronas Twin Towers Sky bridge opened, we went inside by batches. We went to a room that would give us a video of the history. After the video, the area is full of information about the place.

After being on top, we were then escorted going down. In this building, there are a lot of offices and also a mall.
Aside from the Twin Towers, we also visited the Kuala Lumpur Tower.
We then went to Chinatown to buy souvenirs. We get to ride their bus there which is so crowded just like our buses here in the Philippines. We then headed back to the Berjaya Times Square since that is where the bus would stop.
We purchased tickets in the ticket booth going back to Singapore for $30.00.
The Berjaya Times Square is a mall in Malaysia and its quite big. After roaming around the mall, it was time for us to go back to Singapore.
Even if its just a one day trip, I guess it was worth it. Those might not be the only tourist spots in Malaysia, but I guess those were the most famous places.
