last weekend, miss a and i had a day trip to singapore just to attend the changi wizarding world. miss a came to segamat on thursday after work and we journeyed to johor bahru on friday morning. we stopped for lunch at kari kambing 40 hari and stumbled accidentally with one of our former schoolmate (stj). we stood in front of him for anout 5 minutes and still he hasn't noticed us eventhough some of his friends saw us. he only realized our existence when we said goodbye, saying his name.

after lunch, we continued our journey and stopped at johor premium outlet (jpo) to look around. in the end, both of us bought nike sport shoes. done shopping, we went to larkin central to eat one of the famous dish in johor, kacang pool. only then, we checked in at our hotel. erica hotel. we chose erica hotel because it's near ciq. we'll be taking a bus from there straight to changi airport.

after freshening up at the hotel and surveying our route to ciq, we went to putri harbour to attend moscow circus. we didn't know the way, so as expected we asked assistance from mr waze. mr waze took us to a home residence and we were lucky to actually arrived at the right location on time. we bought the tickets online, so we have to redeem the tickets latest at 8:30pm. the circus acts were very fun and entertaining.

originally we planned to get the 7am bus but since we had a late night, we chose to take the 9:15am bus. we walked about 2km to the bus platform. unfortunately, we had to wait for almost two hours fpr the bus. it seemed that the bus we were supposed to take was stucked in a traffic jam at changi airport. so we took another bus instead. we arrived at woodlands checkpoint about 45 minutes later and we had to stand almost three hours for immigration clearance!!! once done, we waited for around 30 minutes for the bus to changi. we finally arrived at the airport around 2pm!
we started our magical journey at terminal 2. in order to take part in the ativities, we must first pose and post three pictures and posted them on socmed (facebook, twitter, wechat, weibo) with the hashtag #changiwizardingworld. we muat also installed the iChangi app. the picture must include you to avoid people using someone else's picture. most of the exhibitions are at terminal 3 but there is one at terminal 2 (whomping willow) and one at terminal one transit area (newt's menagerie).
done taking picture with the whomping willow, we took the skytrain to terminal 3. we took pictures again at diagon alley and hogsmeade village. we queued up for taking a moving picture and ere really happy for the result. after that, we had our lunch at 4fingers. on this visit, we only spend SGD10 for food and all the other activities are free. we even managed to redeem our lunch receipt for two free rides on the slides. we took the bus back to johor bahru around 7:15pm and had our dinner at city square.

we checked out around 11:30am an went to majlis bandaraya johor bahru to pay for our parking ticket. entirely my fault for thinking that saturday is considered weekend and no need for parking coupons. the original amount is RM30 but since it was paid early, the amount is reduced to RM15. we then went to aeon dato' onn to buy tealive since i got the tng wallet promo, RM2.50 per cup that will end on 31 december since there is no tealive in segamat (it turns out that segamat got it's own tealive outlet that was opened recently which i didn't knew).. miss a did a lot of shopping though, hehe.. we arrived at segamat around 5pm and went to karaoke first before returning to my parents' house.
ps: overall, honestly the changi wizarding world is not as good as i expected. luckily we did other activities beside that during our short holiday.
