Package for 5 adults and 2 children (inclusive of ferry) is SGD$954.00

Exchange rate was SGD$101.45 to IDR 1,050,000

During the trip, the lobby in the east is having construction works and had to use the lobby in the west which is quite a distance from the tents.

The room - there are bottled water and the mini mart is a distance away. Highly recommended to stockpile.




BBQ. Early booking is required, recommended to book before the trip. Unfortunately, the pit is hardly practical to do BBQ due to the unstable grill (kept swinging) and the uneven heat from the charcoal below.


Robot


E-scooter with max speed not more than 20km/h, however, based on GPS tracker, the effective speed is only approx 15km/h




Breakfast area










The Bandar Bentan Telani Ferry Terminal was crowded and it was noted that the Emerald Class check-in is another new building (it used to be together). Upgrading to Emerald Class is totally worth it to avoid crowd.

Pasir Panjang Power Station "A" (28 Oct 2018)

Not exactly an "abandoned" building, but close enough as I have a special liking for old buildings. Had a chance to visit this beautiful place as part of the Street Superior Festival 2018.

The Pasir Panjang Power Station "A", the building was decommissioned in the early 1980s and returned to the government in 2017. It was Singapore's second power station, built between 1952 and 1953, after St James Power Station, and the ‘B’ station added adjacent to it in 1965.
