Thanks for the tips bro ... I have checked out the location of jurong and tampines and i know what you mean. But between Tuas checkpoint and Woodlands checkpoint, are the queuing and custom clearance time for both checkpoint is the same or woodlands have longer clearance period time due to more ppl going to woodlands? Because if Tuas has lesser queuing time, I would opt to stay nearer to Tuas. Hope you get what i mean. My worried is the clearance time on the custom checkpoint. Once in SG, I will be able figure on how to go around, I guess.... haha.

I don't think there is mrt station at tuas checkpoint. Nearest I saw is Joo Koon (EW29). As for woodlands, the station would be woodlands (NS9) or Marsiling (NS8). This is only what my theory is of taking mrt if i am working in SG. The info is just a theory of how i think i would go with public transport in SG unless my working place will be far away from mrt.

at least give someting for me to do LOL. maybe low pay so didnt expect anything from me.

he mean, enjoy your honeymoon while you can xD

currently no. i dont know my colleagues look free also . all pretend busy . those sales engineer in office 2 hours whole day gone.

which company are you with?? I wanna work there too!!!

Sg working culture pretty relax. Normal working 8 hrs, times up pat backside go home sharp.
weekend, we do have some activities occasionally. PM the leader of the pack, deodorant to be added to Whatsapp group.

That's too little

Hope the agent didn't give you the that numbers

As all mention, it all depends on your work location.. In terms of queue in the customs, undeniable, Bus is faster on a normal day (except Friday and eve of PH).
U will spend around 30 to cross the boarder. from JB to woodlands. But bare in mind you need to take into consideration the time the bus travel. for a non-peak hour, It took me around 45 mins to get from woodlands interchange to JB City Square. because the bus need to travel and u-turn, blah blah... this is during no queue hours.

For Bike (I am traveling with bike now). Woodlands is better than Tuas. Tuas bikers all dont know how to queue properly and have a lot less counters compare to woodlands.

On average, In the morning, worst case scenario for woodlands is you will be queuing for 1 hour. But average queue time is around 30-40 mins. This is because in Woodlands, they open around 80-100 counters in the morning cater for bikers.. I have never try traveling in from Tuas before, cannot advice on that. Going home, woodlands will take you around 2 hours queue. The worst I queue before is 3 hours. Reach woodlands at 6pm, manage to cross at 9:30pm (this is special case due to people dash through the immigration and they lock down the whole building 30-40mins).
On average you can cross at 7:45-8pm. There are around 50 counters opened for bikes during peak hour as they closed 20 car lanes and convert them for bikes.

As for Tuas, they also close car lane for bike when going back. But i traveled there twice. fastest i manage to get through is 8:30pm. slowest is 8:45pm (nothing special happen). reason being is there is only 13-15 counters open only for bike at Tuas. they only have 6 automated counters while woodlands have 10.

For me, I work in Tampines, if I work 9am, I leave home at 7am and can reach on time. if I leave office at 6pm, I will reach home at 8:00-8:30pm. My home in JB is at Mount Austin though. a bit far from causeway.

summary is, it gonna take around 4 hrs /day crossing the causeway and back.

Never come across situation similar to your case. Good luck.

Er... Me everyday OT half hour then...

For now... Most of the time sibeh free

Almost wanted to talk to my GM tell him I got nothing to do

If you take bus from gelang patah or bukit indah through tuas, bus will go drop you at Jurong east. I tried once and vow to never do it again If I can. The queue and amount of people doing it is just incredible.

Ultimately it depends on what sort of lifestyle you want.

Pay more for free time

Pay less for traffic time

Last weekend I took bus in on Friday, from my place in East until cross Malaysia immigration took 4+ hours lol.


Sales mah. Their only metric is how much $$ they bring in to company what.

I also plan to travel between Bukit Indah and Teluk Blangah by car after few months in Sg.

Will find carpool with ppl or I drive myself
