I was up by 7am and went for a swim at the hotels pool for a workout, which didn’t last very long, it was too cold! Burr! I ended up in the Jacuzzi instead, just in enough time to catch the Kuala Lumpur sunrise. I dried off and grabbed a quick breakfast at the hotels breakfast buffet, totally ruined any workout I just did in the pool. I’m really glad my stay at hotel the wasn’t long, or otherwise I’d put on the pounds.
I managed to walk some of my breakfast binge off as I made my way to the bus station. It was about 9:30am, my bus wouldn’t arrive until 10am, but they told me to check-in about a half-an-hour early. The bus came right on time, which impressed me. The seats were reclining leather chairs and wider than airline seats. Tons of leg room. There were even individual T.V. screens and I could pick my own movie or games. Nice coach service. Very nice. When the coach set out for our destination, Singapore, and shortly after, an attendant came around offering coffee and breakfast boxes. I saved my box for lunch.
I watched an Adam Sandler movie and played a few games and snoozed a bit. When I awoke, we had to get off the bus for an immigration and customs check, it was painless. I found going by coach to be so comfortable and it was only a two hour trip and it was less expensive. When we got to Singapore, I headed to one of the 5 star Singapore hotels and this gave me time to sort out what stuff I was going to send back home via parcel, that way I lighten my load tremendously. The post office was very helpful and the employees made sending off my packages a breeze.
I took a walk around the area and went to a few bars to check out the amazing nightlife. At one bar, I read a sign that said ‘staff wanted’, as I read on, they gave a list of qualities, but they listed the qualities they aren’t looking for, like bad breath, no sense of humour, bad body odor, then they added if you have any of these qualities, don’t bother or inquire within! This gave me a great insight to the life of a Singaporean, they like to enjoy life and they like to laugh. I think I’ll fit right in.
