Johor Bahru - share is caring - Part 2

[Habrosus]

These days, one page 4 chops.(two trips) Gone are those days 6-8 chops per pages...

8 chops quite imposible. Mine so far swee swee 6 chops per page, thanks to one officer who took the effort to flip back to an earlier page to stamp on a space.

Go in JB don't massage is like wasted

that is true, but massage route and mall route very different. Unless I go for the higher priced massaged in malls... and Paradigm mall has one of the expensive chains, Thai Odessey...

but i also had massaged on Monday already, though twice a week is rather shiok and i just re-started my post Dengue recovery 3rd day of run/jog and my legs are aching... not sure what to do

i also want to change up the only 2 spots that i go to whenever i go in... ARGH!!!

6 per page is super rare now, maybe if your passport is more than 50% filled with 4 chops then u are lucky to get one officer that does the extra work to flip back to find a space for you, in such special event, do have a "bookmark" on the flipped back page to help the exit chop go faster.

Mine is a mint condition passport only started using this year, and only within Johor state so far.

"bookmark"

I've a rubber band placed between the most recent active pages. So makes it easier for me to flip to the recently stamped page to check & also easier for the Officer to flip to those pages I want his attention on. The rubber band biased the passport to open to those pages.

I also put a sticker on the top right corner of the passport front cover & top left corner of the back cover for easy identification especially in a tour group...& at home for fast & easy sorting...& sorting which is yours when in the car with friends after the Officer returns the whole bundle.

Anyone stayed at the new St Giles hotel south key? How is it? South key seems like a big and nice mall to shop and eat.

The model tourist you are. I usually open to the page I want the officer to stamp when I pass the passport over. From my observation, usually the officers will keep the page open and flip back to it when they stamp. When I have several passports, I stack them with the pages open for the officer.

Imigresen is very obliging. Thai and Chinese immigration do not bother.

The Southkey is relatively new and also unused as IIRC, Southkey was opened a few months before lockdown started. so most of the amentities there should still be in good shape.

Mid Valley Southkey as a mall is ok for one shop and eat trip if you have yet to visit.

do not paste anything on Ur passport even at the cover page. unless u using a passport cover.

it's tampering n u might b refuse entry at the wherever immigration.

also dun put rubber band, stapler or paper clip to bookmark. u might damage the page.

best is juz flip to the page where u one the officer to stamp.

Sudden come sudden go, even sun's like coming back up! Go Go Go!

Actually it's weather like this that makes me want to go, as many others will feel that they should stay at home. Immigration hall can minus those people.

 

[Aaagogo]

Sg side prepared for super crowd, not even 1200hrs and the have to walk through ~33% of the red rope barrier.

 

[Aaagogo]

WHAT THE FCUK!!! At least 60 mins at CIQ. FULL HALL and I'm all the way at the back of the hall.

It was EMPTY at sg side... Most likely CIQ understaffed again... Sigh...

I can only think of 2 shopping malls very ex.
1. City Square
2. Mid Valley Southkey

 

[Aaagogo]

Damn it, Friday and CIQ side don't open at least 1 lane each, 15&16 closed, all single lines... 90 mins stuck in the hall...

Now all my plans change... Got to look for lunch, then back to the usual route of massage at Plaza Sentosa then Orh Chien...
