As mentioned by spindoctor, if you want to have a guided tour, it will set you back by 8 bucks. So me decided to just take a look on my own instead. It was my first time stepping into the museum. And I was quite fascinated by the nature of the exhibits. This was attributed to the fact that most of them were the original documents, letters, newspaper articles, pictures,etc and all were preserved in their most complete form. Indeed, it was an eye-opener for me and you could actually read the words on those exhibits and take yourself back in time, and experiencing the emotions felt by the people during WWII.
The whole walk took me abt 45 minutes or so, but that was because I did not read each and every article in detail. If i did so, it would probably have taken more han one hour.
All in all, I would say that it was indeed an enriching experience and for those who have yet to visit this place, do go there on one of the weekends and revisit the memories of WWII.

We chose to take the Premium class so that we wouldnt be so cramped and the prices were still quite affordable. We did contemplate about taking the First Class but decided that would be reserved for another time. And I must say that throughout the journey, I was kept occupied by the movie that was made available to you on an individual 7.2" LCD TV, so that you need not have to squint your eyes to catch the show unlike other coaches,which has only one small TV in front for all. In addition, there are a range of movies to choose from, similar to that when you are on an plane.
And for those who have been to Genting would know that the journey can take up to say 4 to 6 hours. And being cramped in your seat can be quite uncomfortable. But fret not, cos for the Premium and First Class seats, they are all equipped with massaging controls to soothe your soreness,be it on the back,legs or even neck. I found out this only when I got on to the bus and it was a pleasant surprise. So you will not be having that stiff neck ever again!!!
Then from our transfer from GH to KL, it was via a private bus. But at that time there were only the few of us, so I presume if the number was bigger,perhaps a coach would be catered instead. And from the KL hotel to the bus interchange at KL, they would also despatch a van to bring you there. Again, I guess that the mode of transport is dependent on the number of passengers.
And on our way back from KL, meals were served as well. But pls take note that the serving of meals onboard is only for the KL route. Thus, if you are travelling straight from GH back to Singapore, there will be no meal served.
Overall, I would say that the service was good and the coaches were well maintained and comfortable to sit in for extended hours, as there was in-house entertainment as well as massaging available. And maybe the next time, I may go for the First Class coach a try too.

Basically, I would say that the bus captains' that i have met thus far have been quite polite and none have left me a bad impression, What's more that leaves me more upset would be the inconsistent frequency of arrival of buses. Though I understand that traffic conditions may be quite dynamic, but sometimes it is really quite upsetting to see either the bus too full to get up or two buses of the same number come together. In addition, some buses as Polarbear had said,
are poorly maintained as well and at times u can see small roaches which is really quite a turn-off.
Therefore if SBS wanna jack up their fares in future, I really do hope that they can improve on their service standards.

The only time there was some problem was with the modem which somehow failed after a year and I had to get to the service centre to get it verified and exchanged for a new one.
Therefore, I would say that I would remain a Maxonline user unless Singnet comes up with better service and more goodies. Looking forward to to Sitex 2007 for more attractive packages in Dec 07 to see if I wanna upgrade to a higher value package.

Each of these come at afforable prices ranging from $3 (if i rem correctly) upwards. The shrimps they used are really fresh and each 虾蛟 actually has two shrimps inside!! Normally, one 虾蛟 would have only one inside. In addition to the normal dim sum, they also serve those mini 盅仔饭。 So far I have yet to try as I always call like at least 10 baskets of dim sum. And the total cost of my bills for such quantity is under $40.
So do go down there and try it for yourself. The standard is definitely up to par to those you find at the Yum Cha restaurant and is really value for money. The operating hours are as follows:
Mon -Fri 3pm-5am
Sat 12pm-5am
Sun 10am-4am
Wait no more!!! Hurry down there for your supper now!!! (",)
