We were up at 7am this morning and after waking up the guesthouse owner to let us our (Malaysians do not do mornings) we were on our way to Singapore. The immigration building we had to leave through was the fanciest we've seen, it was like an airport with Marble floors and shiny windows. Tom filled in a questionnaire about Malaysia before we left and got a "lovely badge" for his troubles. Miss grump didn't want to fill our the questionnaire, nor did she want the...
