 4:32 PM Woodlands Station

As first time visitors of Singapore with a Philippine Passport, and having Malaysia as an entry point,  they took time in documenting our arrival.  We were taken to the office for fingerprints and a few questions.  They were polite the entire time though.

With the growing numbers of Filipinos working there, It's understandable.

We stopped by Macdonalds for a quick snack.  All we had to eat the entire train ride was hotdog sandwiches and chips.
