hello from Malaysia

hahaha gulat ka ba?

yes, i just arrived in the adjacent country. it is a 45 mins drive from SIN. due to heavy traffic after office hours, the travel ended up a little more than an hour. i chanced upon a very kind malaysian lady on the bus who taught me the way here. we had to walk on the way to the SIN immigration otherwise it will take so long a time to reach here. there were so many people on the road. most of them are working in SIN and have to travel by motorcycle back home to malaysia. that is why they account to more or less 30% of vehicles in the highway.

there is 1 km bridge connecting the two countries, btw. i was given 30 days to stay here but probably one hour will be more than enough for my curiosity hahaha

i exchanged money worth S$10 which is equivalent to 22 ringgit. aside from the bus fare back to SIN worth 2.40 ringgit, i do not know what else to do with the remaining balance hahaha

medyo marumi ang nakita ko sa kalye. maraming graffiti at kung walang kasamang local, baka nayari na ako sa labas. merong ibang horror stories dito at harinawang makabalik ako ng ayos lang.

i tasted their lemonade, and well, it tastes like lemonade. what do u expect? lolzzz

i wish i had come earlier during the day so that i could have captured the streets' action in my cam.

nevertheless, it's a funny feeling to cross borders.
