Ferry Schedule From Singapore To Tanjung Pinang

Posted by / Category: Life / Tag: ,  / 18 comments / 22,854 views

Last weekend I went to Tanjung Pinang in Bintan Island to visit my cousin. She’s been staying there since 2003 but this will be my first time to visit her (sigh.. what a great cousin I am :-( ). She’s staying there with her husband which is working in the Airbase in that town.

The ferry from Singapore to Tanjung Pinang departs Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal (take MRT to Bedok, and then take SBS Bus No. 35. The bus’s final stop is the ferry terminal). But since I was in hurry, I took a cab. To my dismay, I must waited for 1.5 hours before the ferry arrives. Unlike Singapore to Batam, the ferry frequency for Singapore to Tanjung Pinang is much less. I hope this schedule can help you to plan your travel better (unlike mine :-) )

So I met her with her family. They have a very cute daughter (which makes her the cutest niece I have). She is 1.5 years old and tantrum-ridden toddler :P Need sometime before I could get along with her. But I think she had recognize me as her uncle :P She did cry when I waved goodbye and left for Singapore (which I don’t know whether she cried because her father or me, since my brother-in-law accompanied me going to the harbor)

Banyolan Suroboyoan

I received collection of Banyolan Suroboyoan (Humor ala Surabaya) from my little brother. If you happen to be have a good command of Surabaya’s dialect of Javanese, these files might help you to put a smile or giggle in your face.

But if you don’t understand Javanese, these are for you:

I visited my friend for a sleep over. He said, “Sorry, but tonight you’ll sleep on the floor”. And I said, “Damn gravity, you got me again. You know how long I have been dreaming of sleeping on the wall, or the ceiling.”

Before I went to sleep on the floor, I asked my friend, “How many rooms this house has?”. He said, “Many. This is the room where I watch TV. That is the room where I always take a piss. And that is the the room where I keep my stove and fridge. And over there is the room where I put my bed. And out there is the room with grass-floor complete with a fountain. And finally that is the room which belongs to my neighbor … Oh wait…” (by Mitch Hedberg, RIP)

There were two vampires called Vlad and Dracul flying around looking for prey. But that day was Christmas eve, so everyone were at home with their family. Tired of flying, Vlad gave up and went home. But Dracul was very persistent and continued in his searching. Near the dawn, Dracul went home with drips of blood in his lips.

Vlad was surprised and asked him, “Where do you got the prey? You must be fully sated.”.

Dracul then said, “Do you want to have what I had?”

Vlad nodded his head. “Follow me!”, said Dracul.

Both of them then flying and landed on the roof of a building. Dracul asked Vlad, “Do you see that pole in center of that field?”.

Vlad answered, “Yes. The one with the flag waving around right?”.

Dracul then slowly uttered,”I didn’t”.
