Journey of 8000km~

9 Comments


After staying 1 weeks in Malacca, it’s time for me to depart to Singapore.
The Overall Route is:
Malacca > Queen Street (SG) > Bugis MRT > Changi Airport > Auckland Airport > Ashley Homestay.

1st of april 10am, I go Singapore by using 707 Travel Service.
Cost: RM 23
Because of the efficiency of campony, the bus only stop at SG immigration for 20min…
And this cause me missed the bus because of some delay at immigration of SG…
Again, because of the efficiency, I can take the next hour bus to Queen St. with no extra charge~

What I learn is early departure is a must!

Bugis MRT station is located 600m from Queen St.
A MRT Ticket to Changi Airport can be brought in Bugis MRT Station.
But There is a MRT changed in Tanah Merah Station.


Cost : 2 SGD + 10 cen (for the deposit of the card)

The MRT station is in between Terminal 2 and 3…
But what I want to go is Terminal 1…

So I take the sky train from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1~
Although the name of sky train is Train, but it was operate by a bus wheel
Cost: Free~

After check-in my 15kg luggage, I have my lunch+dinner in Burger King (because Miri don’t have any)
When I reached Information Center, there is a china uncle who lost his luggage…
His try to explain the situation but the reception don’t really know chinese…
Since I can understand both, I become their translator…

Finally, I knew the reason why we learn english speaking in school!

Back to Burger King, I brought a Double Cheese Swiss…
Cost: 8 SGD
At the same time I arrange my document and give them a show~


Lastly, entered the waiting hall, prepare to depart!

Bye Asia~

On the Flight:

(Surprised by the temperature outside! -51’C)

Next time I want middle seat too…

Flight Meal~
Cost: 35 SGD!!! (I brought it because I can’t expect what will happen in the 10 hours~)
And now I knew that brought 4 burger king on plane was the better choice!
 

The Scambled Egg is really special!
On the left side is steamed egg but i think it mixed with potato…
Right side is grilled potato with mushroom…
And middle is meat, and i think is lamb…
This meal make my 35 SGD reasonable (a little bit)

Waiting for sunrise~

 

Finally, I saw the NZ Great Land!

 

Also have something familiar

The first cloud shot in Airport is already stunned my heart~

That’s my first day to NZ…
Have to find job quickly or not i’ll be broken~

旅游

旅程从23日开始…

由于种种的原因，我去纽西兰的日期变成4月1日…
为了避免还会有什么变化，
我决定提早到马六甲，然后再从那里坐巴士去新加坡～
又再一次比较了所有的价钱…
发现26日从诗巫去KL的机票刚好有offer~
而本人23日到26日会到诗巫参加Life Game…
所以去纽西兰的旅程，可以说是从23日开始～

不过如果说准一点，是从22日的半夜开始…
因为camp是23日早上11时开始，而美里去Sibu少少要8小时…
所以我和一位朋友就乘搭最后一班的巴士从美里前往Sibu～
于是22日晚上10点，带着紧张和不舍的心情离开了美里，我的家人…

原本想搭MTC Express的Bus，但是它没有跑晚班…
所以就搭了Vital Focus Group的bus（忘了叫什么名字了…）
我只能说，它没有顾虑到脚长的人，因为它的位子真的太窄了！
（他们还说是新bus，看来新的是为了赚多一点钱吧～）
整趟旅途我都必须把我的脚翘出走道，才能舒舒服服的睡一觉～

晚上10点出发，一路一直翻来翻去，睡醒睡醒…
好不容易，5点终于到了Sibu…
虽然比预计的快了一小时到达，但是也让我有机会看一看Sibu的夜景～

也终于目睹传说中的爱莲街福源堂！

放了我们的Luggage，就到Sibu街走走～

诗巫的全景：（原本想到更高的地点去拍，不过因为是政府部门的地盘
所以就偷渡到旅馆的楼上拍）
城市的全景，Sibu City View
另一面的全景，Another Side of City

再来的日子就在Life Game里度过…
真的很感恩上帝安排我能有这个Camp作为旅程的开始！

26号2点从营地回到诗巫…
还有等到9点的飞机，于是就到了刘钦侯纪念馆参观…

毕竟不是Bio的学生，大多的文物都没什么兴趣～

由于时间真的太多，而且用巴士和德士去机场的路费相差太大（RM2 vs RM35）
所以就尝试搭巴士去机场…
相信大家也知道马来西亚的公共交通系统，特别是东马…
这真的是一个很大的挑战！

起初，明明问清楚了是那辆巴士（Sibu Jaya）去机场~
但是搭了1小时却还没发现机场的踪影…
外面的风景越来越郊外，就连之前有的飞机场路牌都消失了～
我开始紧张了！
问了我后面的一位Uncle，他笑笑的告诉我：“Jauh lagi, 30min lagi”（还要30分钟）
我才安心了许多～
反正时间还多，就放松心情去享受外面的风景…

大约5分钟，就看到“Airport 4km”的路牌～
原来巴士是绕小路过的，所以机场牌才会消失…
不过巴士只能放我在机场的路口，我还必须走大概200米的路～
反正年轻体力多，时间也还有很多…
这200米，不是问题！（也可以是要省钱的借口～）

接下来，又是个漫长的夜晚…
9点飞机，11点到KL，1点巴士，2.30到马六甲…
基本上除了路途，大多数的时间都不能休息，要不然一错过时间就糟糕了！
不过很感恩有我亲爱的电脑陪伴我度过那些时间，还有在诗巫买的面包…

最后，终于离开了砂拉越！8月我们再相见！
终于，是时候飞了！Time to fly!诗巫夜景，Sibu Night View诗巫夜景，Sibu Night View

Journey changed to 23th…

2 Comments

Because of some reason, my flight to NZ changed to 1st of april…
To avoid any changes, I decided fly to Malacca first, and I can go SG anytime by bus~
After another price comparison, 
I found that there is promotion for the ticket from Sibu to KL on 26th of April~
And I’ll be Life Game in Sibu when 23rd to 26th…
So 23rd will be the beginning of my Journey~

To be strict, it started on midnight of 22nd…
Because the camp start on 11 morning of 23rd, and the journey to Sibu is about 8 hours…
So I had to take to latest bus from Miri which was 10pm on 22nd with my friend…

At first I was thinking to use MTC Express for Sibu Trip, but unfortunately it don’t provide night trip…
So I took a bus from Vital Focus Group… (forgot the name of bus…)
My comment is, the seat provided is too small!!!
Especially for the people with long leg, like me…
I had to put my leg on the walkway so that I can have a conform trip~

After 7 hours, the bus arrived Sibu…
Although it reached earlier than schedule, this provide me a chance to watch of Sibu night scene~

Next, I spend my time in Life Game…
I really thanks God for planning this camp as the starting of my journey!

2pm on 26th, I back from campsite to Sibu…
Since the flight in 9pm, so I made a visit in Lau Memorial…

Because of price to Airport for Taxi and Public Bus have a huge different (RM2 vs RM35)
And I still have a tone of time to spend, I decided use the public bus to airport…
As we know the public transport in Malaysia is really bad, especially in east Malaysia…
This will be a big challenge to me!

After asking, I knew that “Sibu Jaya” bus will pass by the airport~
But after the bus travel for 1 hour, I still didn’t see any sign of airport…
The outer view turning rural and the airport signboard was disappeared~
I start panic and asked a uncle behind me…
He told:”still have 30 minutes drive”
I felt relieved with the answer and enjoy the rural scene around me~

5 minutes later, finally I saw an airport sign “Airport 4km”~
Actually the bus is using a old route, so there have no sign of airport for a few distance…
The bus dropped me at the airport junction and I have to walk about 200m to airport~
200m is nothing for me since I am still young! (Another reason is 200m save me RM32)

9pm flight, 11pm reached KL, 1am bus, 2.30am reached Malacca…
Tonight gonna be a long night for me…
Basically I couldn’t sleep at all because timing is extremely important!
But Thanks God for giving my laptop and some bread brought from Sibu to survive…

Good Bye Sarawak! See you in August!
