I met this guy through an event and I sort of like him. So I sent him an sms saying if there is possibility for us to know each other a bit further, mabye we can meet up again. And he says "sure certainly,I'd like that." I'm really really not good at this coz I never been a character to approach a ...

Hey Sacch, Yes you can. Once you land at Singapore, you need to hand your EP approval to the immigration officer and she'll stamp you with a 30 day on-arrival VISA. The first thing you need to do after that is, go to the MOM and get your passport stamped and have your EP issued. Once that's done you...

Seems like hard luck right now. Not surprising considering that we've decided so late. Anyway, I don't mind trying our luck, but we might have to be open to expensive options - if the demand is high, then prices are high too... But then who knows, a lot of people tend to drop out. There might be som...

Sounds fine to me. I'm not keen on seeing a thousand places and not getting to enjoy any. We might as well see a few good places in a relaxed manner and enjoy ourselves (it's a vacation after all) So yeah, that's fine C. I guess we just have to wait and see if anybody else joins us, or we'll just go...

That still won't work! If we start by 12 even, we'll only be at Mersing by 6. I think we might need to slightly alter our plans if we want to utilize all three days. How about stopping over at Mersing and taking the 630 am ferry to Tioman? I think we should be able to get some cheap backpackers' nig...

* Many ferry operators operate boats and ferries between Mersing and Tioman several times a day. * Amongst the most reliable, Blue Water Speedboats (Tel: 607-7995696) operates its first speedboats from Mersing at 7.30 a.m. and its last ones at about 4.30 p.m. depending on tides. * Tickets cost RM35...

Yeah 2 is fine. I checked the timetables. One problem I see is that suppose we start on friday, we can start only after work- that would be lets say 7/8 pm. And it is 4-5 hours to Mersing (atleast) whichever way we go (via JB or direct) so that would bring us to Mersing somewhere between 11-1 in the...

hehe, thanks to you too. So it's final then? that it's two or more of these islands. When do we start? on friday itself or on sat? Starting on sat would be a waste of precious time. But friday night might get us too late at Mersing and am not sure about the availability/safety of ferry at that time?...

Well, I was just thinking if the island was all slushy, it would be a little troublesome. I might be totally wrong though. And yeah, I'm open to Pulau Besar, if you think it's good, great, we might either stay over there or maybe drop over for a day or less... lets see. Also, I think we need to make...

... no problem, i checked and full moon is on 6th and new moon on 20th. pfiuuuuuuu!! :roll: Uhoh, that sounds like trouble to me. Since we're planning to go on 7th or 8th, things might not look so good... Ok, which island?? Pulau Besar: 1 vote Tioman: Rawa: any 'combo'? haha http://wikitravel.org/e...

I think better way would be to goto Lavender MRT and from there take a transnational bus to Mersing. It would be cheaper (i guess) and faster. From there were can take a ferry to whichever Island you prefer. http://www.journeymalaysia.com/ptasingmersing.htm Also, we need to check if there's a full m...

Count me in for 8th to 10th. Whatever it is, let's plan early so we can save on ticket fares and other bookings.

Thanks.
