On the 7th (Sunday) I will make a trip to Singapore via the KTM inter-city train. I’ll start off at about 8 in the morning at KL Sentral.

The journey from Seremban to Johor Bahru is 270 km. According to the schedule, it will take 5 hours 10 minutes. So that computes to about 50 km/h average. This is the part of the journey I will be looking forward to.

My previous train trips have been mostly overnight stints. That means, pitch dark, no scenery. Just hop on, sleep, and next morning you’re there. The system is good for budget travellers who can save a night’s hotel fees. That is what my dad and I did in Vietnam / Cambodia; overnight trains.

Should I pack my Mc Donald’s? Or should I Just have a heavy breakfast and be set for the day? There’s a buffet coach, but last time I was there (10 years?) The quality was not acceptable back then.

Called up Digi to confirm my International roaming is active. Tweeting will be at a premium, so I’ll save them up for a one shot, 4 tweet updates. I hear data is RM 12 for 1MB. If I can squeeze it all, I’m guessing that will cost me RM 2 for the updates :P

Will hopefully meet up with some friends over on the island. Play some pool when all my appointments are done, and things are settled. OH YES!!! CASINO!!! Ch-ching!!!!
