Quite unusually the queue for my AirAsia flight bagdrop was quite long at Kuching. My flight to Singapore left a few minutes early, which is quite usual for the airline. Prior to arrival, the “death sentence for drugs” recorded PA was made (quite normal). But there was a new PA this time about the prohibition of importing toy guns, numchuks, knuckledusters etc, and to approach the customs officers “for assistance” if you have them with you.
Changi was its usual self and I got out landside very quickly and got myself a local SIM card.
This time, I stayed true to my research an avoided the tourist SIMs. As it turned out, they did have normal non-tourist packs which they only show you when you decline to buy the tourist packs and say you’ll buy the normal one from 7-Eleven later.
I taxied to my elderly aunt’s place where I stayed with her for a couple of days. It’s a nice change to pass through the garden city-state again instead of KL which has become my norm due to better flight connections.
