Favourite way to travel from KL to Singapore

Recently we went back to SG for Mother’s Day celebration with our family!

We personally don’t enjoy the 1h grab ride from KL to KLIA, & also needing to arrive 2h before flights 🙈 so for us the ETS train + Shuttle Tebrau is our favourite (& also more wallet friendly) way to travel from KL to Singapore ☺️

... Read moreTraveling from KL Sentral to Singapore by train offers a unique blend of comfort and convenience that I found truly enjoyable. Unlike taking a grab or driving, the ETS (Electric Train Service) from KL Sentral to JB Sentral provides a relaxing ride with spacious seating, space for luggage, and onboard amenities like a café. The ability to recline your seat means you can rest or work comfortably while enjoying the scenic journey. One key advantage is the seamless connection to the Shuttle Tebrau at JB Sentral, which takes only about 5 minutes to reach Woodlands Train Checkpoint in Singapore. This connection is straightforward and saves you from the hassle of airport transfers and long waits. Booking the train tickets is also easy using the KITS Style app, ensuring your travel plans are well organized. A few tips from my experience: bring your earbuds, a neck pillow, and a light jacket to make your journey even more comfortable, especially if you plan to catch some sleep on the train. Also, keep an eye on the timing between the ETS train and Shuttle Tebrau to minimize waiting times. Overall, this route offers a wallet-friendly alternative with less stress compared to flights, especially when factoring in the long check-in times at airports. Whether for holidays or visiting family, I highly recommend this method for a smooth and pleasant KL to Singapore trip.

my favourite way to fly to USA now?? ✈️
A decade ago, I had an amazing exchange experience in the US but avoided returning due to the long flights. This year I finally had to make a trip to Seattle, and I was honestly absolutely dreading flying solo on a 20+ hour journey. After reading good reviews, I decided to give Starlux Airlines

KL to Singapore bus experience
This felt genuinely unsafe. The driver was speeding like crazy and had the worst attitude — shouting at passengers nonstop and acting irritated the entire ride. Instead of feeling like a trip, it felt like we were being rushed and scolded the whole way. Completely ruined the experience. Do yo
