Transit Day - 30 March 2014

Its time for holiday, this time i am going to Taiwan to have some fun as Taiwan is one of my must-go destination :D

Stay at Batam, i will be transti through Singapore Changi Airport before flying to Taipei. Going from Sg to Taipei via Jetstar and return by Tiger Airways (going with low budget airlines decrease your risk being hijacked by terrorist because there is no any business or excecutive class so its safe, just a joke lol ).

From Batam, i will be going to Singapore via harbor bay terminal by taking Prima Ferries (i got Penguin Ferry when depart, dun know if they are same group). Its a long weekend on Indonesia because 31st March 2014 is Hari Raya Nyepi (Hindu's day) so we got a national day off plus its sunday so its very crowded on the terminal. Queue a while and we are ready to board the ferry, its depart on 3.13pm GMT+7 (Indonesian western time aka WIB). Just depart, i text my friends (Ben) that live on Sg that i hv depart so he will pick me up, bring me to his company for some sight seeing :D (consultation exactly about IT matters) and then bring his wife and children for having dinner together at Southwest Tavern at Jurong.

Here is some menu that we order there
Mango and Strawberry Smoothies

BBQ Pork Ribs

Pizza

Beer Butt Sakura Chicken
There is a beer on the butt/bottom of the chicken, dip the meat into the bear for a while and eat it, but i prefer with sambal chili taste better :D

Fish and Fries Plate

Actually we want to try Bloomin Onion but its temporary not available (maybe no onion was farmed during the dry season :( lol )
After dinner, Ben took us to his home for having some coffee and chit chat, later then he and his wife drive us to the Changi Airport Terminal 1 (very thanks a lot to them for accompany us).

At Changi Airport
Arrive around 10.45pm (Sg time) the Jetstar Check In counter still not open yet (if you have web check in then you can direnctly proceed to the baggage drop counter and usully its not having a long queue so it can save a hassle) so walk around and having some photo
Kinetic Rain

After the check in counter was open, we are queue to check in then we got our boarding pass
Meyshan queue for check in

Here is our boarding pass

After got our boarding pass, we proceed to the gate but the gate still not open yet, when it says open on the big LED Screen, we go in but then the officer said its not then he ask us to get out,we told him the status on screen is open then he ask the inside guys to confirm and finally we can go in (what are they doin having some confuse like that in changi airport), Meyshan must take off his shoes for body check because boots must be take off lol, she almost complain to the immigration staff.
Finally we are ready to take off so see you guys in Taipei, for now we both are excited but also very sleepy.
