Last year September, Mom, Chesca and I (El Tres Viajeras) went to Singapore by plane and Malaysia by bus. These two countries are just separated by a border. We met Andrei's family there too. It was my two nephews' birthday.
Our second day itinerary was to travel from Singapore to Johor Baru, Malaysia for LEGOLAND, Waterpark. My friends told me it's easier to go to Legoland via Singapore than in Kuala Lumpur. That's where we should fly back - KL to Manila.
I booked our Legoland Water Park adventure via KLOOK for only P3,373.60. I got some P92.40 discount and mom's charge was the same as Chesca's (3-11 yo). Here's sharing with you a recap of that itinerary.

How Agoda Confirmation Helped in Immigration Interview
630 PM : Singapore Immigration Interview/ETA Singapore
"Mom went first for her interview. Apparently it took her time. The lady immigration officer seem to be asking a question. She kept insisting about my mom's residence in Singapore. She kept telling her "I'm a tourist! I don't have residence in Singapore, only hotel." My mom asked her "If I show you my booking, what does it manifest?" She just looked at her point blank. She didn't seem to understand my mom's question.
During then Chesca and I had our turn. A guy immigration officer was asked by the lady immigration officer about something. Only to find out she was looking for the Agoda Booking Confirmation. I had my wifi back (SG sim) so I checked my Agoda app right away. I presented it to him and then he advised the other officer that it's okay. He apologized to us.
At the bus, we were all exchanging our experiences. A couple was asked to present their booked flight back to Philippines."
SMART Mommy TIPS:
Here are two things you can prepare if you don't have the internet in your phone:
Here are two things you can prepare if you don't have the internet in your phone:
1. Printed copies of hotel booking (Agoda), airfare or activities.
That experience taught me to be more resourceful and ready especially when traveling with kids and senior citizen. I don't wanna be in the same hassle again, not in the immigration line.
Hope this helps mommies!
