MyEXPI: Short escape to Singapore

Headline: Singapore itinerary

Topic: Short trip to Singapore

Assalamualaikum wbt, alhamdulillah we got the opportunity to visit Singapore at the end of September 2019.

We chose public transport to go roaming around Singapore as it saved more budget than if we use our own transportation. P/s: If you use your own car, you will spent extra budget for road toll, fuel, parking fee and etc. So, it’s better to use public transport in Singapore because it will save our budget. 

Overall, we just spent around RM150-RM180 for the trip; including the spend of accomodation, transportation (bus and tourist pass), attraction places (almost of the attraction places are free to visit), food, souvenirs, and bag storage in Johor Bahru.
