This trip was organised by Tangshooters from Clubsnap Photography Forum. The bus pick up arrangement was at Jurong East MRT in the morning 0900hrs. It then proceeded to Malaysia via the Woodlands Immigration Checkpoint.

The first stop was at Perling for a quick morning breakfast, before the 1hr journey to Kukup. On arrival at Kukup town, we were served lunch immediately near the pier.

Dinner was BBQ cooked by the chefs, at the balcony, with cool seabreeze. It has quite a variety of items, and the food comes non-stop. Excellent stuff!

After dinner, it was some fireworks time, where the explosives were launched from the balcony into the sky!

We woke up to day light with the sun casting beautiful colours on the landscape.


Breakfast was served, and we next proceed to the Kelong Fishing Village. We took a short walk back to the Pier, and had a boat to the Kelong, which is about 5mins away.
