I appreciate the insight. As a Singaporean, too often we see how our Malaysian counterparts are late and don't think much of the commute. From your video, I understood how unpredictable and stressful the daily cross-border commute can be, and accordingly, how half-day work really still is full-day work for a cross-border worker due to the travelling hours involved. Rents in SG don't give cross-border workers much of an option either. Thanks for giving us a look into this, and all the best to your future goals; you clearly are saving on rent with something much bigger in mind.
Aww you are so thoughtful and caring! Thanks for your comment 😁 I appreciate it too! Thanks for your kind words 👍🏻 Yes this is just Saturday half day, I have filmed a week in my life travelling back and forth and will be uploading this week, stay tuned if you are interested 😀
brah if 1: 3 i also will travel everyday LOL
@@gef2 come join us 🤣
Love your vlogs 😊💗 sending all the luck your way!
Thank you so much! ❤️
That's a very interesting to live. Thanks for sharing ❤️ and thanks YT for recommending
Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!
Just from this short video it’s clear how dedicated and hardworking you are. Keep going! Take time for rest too
Thanks for your comment and carrying! ❤️
Love Silent Vlogs like this!! Upload more thanks :)
Yes! I will! 😀
Awww congrats on the well performing video ♥️
Thank you so much Dina😍❤️
You are hard working full of determination and resilience. My respect and admiration to you sis! 🫡
Thank you so much! 😁
Finally, a vlog that explains what i go through everyday as well. Greetings from a comrade in arms!
oh is it? Do you travel everyday as well?
@@LifeOfAshlynOng used to. these days i rent and go back for the weekends.
@@fabianmok2206 Ah I see. But the rental is very high tho.
@@LifeOfAshlynOng that's true. I was lucky that I took up rental in the February of last year, master bedroom for 750 sing so I bypassed the price hike entirely.
@@fabianmok2206 wow that's awesome!
My colleague gets up at 3am n is already in the office by 4am or 4.30am where she will sleep again n start work at 7.30am ( although our official time is 8am). She does this 5 days a week, coming in with her husband on their bike in order to beat the jam. I personally think that life is a choice, if u are happy with it so be it but keep this in mind...you are young now n your body is able to take it but the years of such lifestyle will soon take its toil on your health n once u reach a certain age, your body will show its results. So yes u made the money but your health is the price u pay. 😊
Yes I agree with you but i am not young haha 😆 I am thinking to earn like a few years and come back to Malaysia to work as a full time RUclipsr. So must see how my RUclips grows.
@@LifeOfAshlynOng thats good..work for a few years then go back..or else this type of lifestyle isnt healthy for the long term...life isnt all about money...
All the best to your endeavours...
@@CrosbyStill Thanks for caring! You are kind. 😁
Most either do it for few years then go back. After 35 very hard to live this kind of life. Or they settle in Singapore. Marry Singaporean become PR. Or just become PR or citizens.
Ya True I agree. I plan to go back to Msia after 35yo too hehe xd
Keep the spirit, dear.
Thanks a lot! 😁
Really respect. Especially sat just to work for 4 hours then travel back again.. I see alrdy don't mind me saying. I dread man.. you really have my respect. Solid!
Thanks for your comment and respect! 😁
Proud of u
aww Thank you Soon Gek!
Wow. Traveling to Singapore everyday must be difficult at times. Thank you for sharing. I’m glad borders are reopen and many families can reunite again. I can’t imagine how stressful this can get at times.
Aww so thoughtful of you! Thank you☺️
4.30AM... i always wonder how my colleague that worked in tampines can stay in JB .. really incredible
wah that's so far man
Admiration for your discipline in keeping to this routine.....👍
Thank you so much! 😁
Right now, I feel like I want to live your life. Commuting Johor-Singapore daily seems fun! And early morning gives me an unforgettable vibe.
But, after a few weeks/months doing so, I think I'm not so sure will still enjoy it 😅
Greeting from Bandung, Indonesia
Hi Bandung, Indo!! It would be fun if you enjoy commuting. However, it's really tiring and time consuming. I will be uploading a week in my life this week. Stay tuned! ☺️
🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊
Gila wey. Salute to you. I thought waking up at 6am then drive to KL teruk but yours lagi teruk. Huhuhu. Caiyokk
Thank you 😊 But KL traffic is so bad 😔
I have a friend commuting to KL from Seremban to work , its worse than this.
Wow able to go home early
I was working half day on a Saturday.
Keep going. The most important thing is to plan and save. Invest well especially in big ticket items like buy a house. So in later years if you need to quit, you don’t need to earn so much. Once you have kids or just due to aging this might not be feasible.
Thanks for your opinion! I will take into consideration and I have bought a house hehe😁
Congrats!
@@LifeOfAshlynOng well done. Is it under construction?
@@blesseddc5093 Thank you!
@@nesadcruz7840 Yes, the developer still building it.
👍👍👍
Thanks for your comment!
thanks for sharing.how many hours you will spend in total to and from sg ?
You are most welcome! I normally spent around 1.5 hours or more.
Hope you do more videos on this series. Living in JB, working in SG
Thank you for supporting me! Hmm could you give me more examples? Like what kind of videos? I am uploading a week in my life recording all the timing. Stay tuned!
@@LifeOfAshlynOng I think its a great idea, the week in your life. Also perhaps I would suggest :
Pros & Cons of this lifestyle
Differences in way of life, work culture, any problems you had adapting to work life in Singapore
What factors made you decide to live in JB and commute everyday
If you dont mind - some finance videos on how much you can actually save living here vs renting a hdb or room in Singapore.
Different ways of commuting - train from JB Sentral, CW bus, motor bike, ferry from Puteri Harbour - which you prefer and why
Hope to see how you organise your weekly routine in the next video. I am sure you need to be organised.
@@lindc1070 Wow! Thanks for your ideas and suggestions! It helps a lot! 😁
@@lindc1070 yes, the financial aspect should be interesting. Many wonder if can really save a lot by living in JB and commuting
@@Sunshine-zi4nq More contents coming up soon!
could you explain how did you go from woodlands checkpoint to the mrt in singapore?
I take bus 170 to kranji mrt station.
Can know what time you go back? Looks very early. How many hours working? What job is it?
It's Saturday, I work from 8.30am to 12.30pm. The weekday will be 8.30am to 5.30pm. I work as a Customer Service. I will be uploading a week in my life this weekend, stay tuned!
Respect. I guess all these to afford a nice condo in JB. What’s that tube you have attached to the kitchen tap?
Thanks for your respect! Oh that's my water purifier. 😁
hi i`m newbie here. Wish me luck ,i`ve been applying for SG job (almost 3 month actually since i`ve been applying).Its hard but wish me luck.Your video kind of give me courages to not give up in achieving my goals to work at SG.Thank you!
Owh, all the best in your job hunting!
@@LifeOfAshlynOng thank you!
@@nazzatulizwanna1653 You are welcome!
How long does it take from JB Central to Singapore Woodland, including Immigration?
Especially from Monday to Friday?
And can you tell me how long does it take just the Part with immigration, especially from Monday to Friday, including waiting, Passport checking, also in Singapore site?
hmm good question. It really depends. Nowadays I cannot predict. But I can give a round off timing.
At Malaysia Custom, clear passport needs less than half an hour, bus waiting more than half an hour.
At Singapore checkpt, clear passport 15 minutes, bus waiting less than 20 minutes.
Singapore is always faster than Malaysia.
From JB to SG, I would say a total of one and a half hour?
@@LifeOfAshlynOng okay thank you.
@@Bolu-Bey You are most welcome! ☺️
Hi. at the end of the video i see the long queue. And got confius 😂 is that line from SG to MY or MY to SG?
From SG to MY. At msia Custom. Mostly Singaporean.
Hi from gelang patah to tuas roughly need how long?
I am not too sure, I am going via first link.
Wah salute that you travel almost everyday to SG. I'm from SG and my office is just 2 train stop away from my house which is less than 30 min reach office but I'm still came to office late😂😅 BTW you work on sat?! Is it SME, shld find MNC company. .screw this small company that ask staff to work Sat. Waste of time.
Thank you! ya I work on alternate Saturday. It's like that one, the nearer the most possible to get late haha!
May i know which part in Johor are u staying? I will be working at SG next month. Still have trouble to find the room to rent that easy access for public transport
I am staying nearby Sultanah Aminah Hospital. There is no public bus go to custom, you will need to book a grab car.
I think those nearest to JB Sentral are popular with commuters.
you off work so early? is that your normal working schedule and what do you work as?
Hi! It's on Saturday oh. I work as Customer Service.
Many Malaysian/S'porean companies still have half day work on Saturdays, with no lunch break.
@@pkwanchua Sad right....
nice vlog, love the video
Thanks for the support Arif! ❤️
Hi, can you share about the cost for daily commute jb-sg-jb?
Hi, yes I will do a video for daily expenses. Stay tuned!
Hi, thanks for sharing your video! Im currently working in Chinatown area, and shift starts at 7am! Do you think it is possible to commute from JB?
Yes, it is possible but you need to reach msia custom by 5am or earlier maybe 4.30am.
@@LifeOfAshlynOng thanks for the reply! Will try to find a place nearer to ciq! Thanks ya!
@@ressak6598 You are welcome!
Oh we are neighbours haha
Oh really? Hi! 😁
Hi there, may I know roughly what time you need to reach JB custom if you start working at 9am.
Where do you work? I start work at 8.30am in Joo Koon area. I need to go out from house before 6am.
We are planning to move to JB.
But it seems tiring traveling everyday like that.
We Working in bugis.
@@A.N.D.23 Bugis is quite far. But with CW2 is very convenient. Not really tired when you used to wake up early. Just tell yourself 6/7 hours of sleep is enough for you!
Haha ! Will discuss.
Thanks for your information.
@@A.N.D.23 You are most welcome! I will upload a week in my life with timing. Stay tuned!
Hi friend. how do u travel the causeway after jb custom? by bus? by train? by walk?
Mostly by bus. Very little time by walking the causeway oh. Thanks for asking!
would be nice to have the time frame of the journey. but nice video
I have a video recording a week of my life with time stamp. Check it out!😁
Interesting. How long have you been working in Singapore ? Do you plan to continue this routine for a long time? I mean stay in JB work in SG
I have been working in Singapore on and off for 7 years+. I will do it for 5 more years maybe I guess haha 😂
@@LifeOfAshlynOng you took a break in between? Were you there during MCO ( Circuit breaker in Singapore)? Many were forced to choose either stay there or return to Malaysia
@@Peter-pe6pp Ya I took a break in between during covid, I came back to Malaysia. I was staying with my colleague in Singapore but I decided to come back to Malaysia.
@@LifeOfAshlynOng ok
Hi, Can do monthly favourite and more a day in my life video?
What do you mean monthly favorite? I have recently uploaded a new a daily in my life video and will upload one more this Sunday! Stay tuned!
Can tourist do that too? Visiting Singapore but stage in JB?
Ya, but not long term. How many days you plan to visit Singapore?
1/2 day work? maybe u can ask yr employer to alternate week saturday full day, save your travelling time
Great idea! But they have not enough man power.
Is there option to work from home on Sat? All that commuting for just 4 hours in office seems very inefficient!
I felt this way too 😭 My boyfriend is suggesting to tell my boss we should cut down Saturday work.
@@LifeOfAshlynOng I think you should. Maybe suggest to your boss you will work 1 hour longer Mon to Fri, or if you work from home on Saturday you are willing to use the commuting time for work instead. He gets more working hours from you and you save the effort and money on commuting, it will be a win-win situation. I can't see any reason why it is not good for business and his employee (i.e. you). Good luck!
@@patoises Thanks for your advices too! But it's hard coz my job needs quite a lot of physical work. Hopefully will have 5 days work week in the future.
The supermarket is so big
i already subscribed to ur channel
Thanks for your subscription!
The supermarket got bigger somewhere else tho.
I tried but Malaysian immigration disallowed me to travel daily and even threatened to blacklist me from entering Malaysia because they claimed I abuse the social visit pass!
How did you guys do it for years?
Why is that so? I have a work pass tho.
If you are Singaporean then staying in JB on social visit pass continuously isnt possible. Those who do it go back to SG at least 2 or 3 times a month and stay a few days. Cant just go in and out everyday.
@@blesseddc5093 Oh I see, thanks for the explanation!
Hey!! Thanks for sharing this. It boost up my motivation to stay in JB and work in Singapore soon. I work in a multinational company in Malaysia and looking to transfer to Singapore in few months time, just keep on hesitating due to the time for commuting. How much would it cost to rent a whole unit in JB? And how much earning in SGD per month minimum is consider worth the travelling?
You are welcome!
It's around less than MYR2k to rent a whole unit in JB near custom. It depends how big is the unit as well.
I guess SGD2.3k should be the minimum?
@@LifeOfAshlynOng i see... so, in terms of duration to commute to & fro from JB custom nearby to Woodland area, it is about 4 hours total?
i am working a little bit different timing compare to others as I am dealing with europe timezone. So, my job starts at 11am to 8pm. So, will the traffic be clear for me to commute faster?
@@RyanLim-xm4ek no, actually if from JB custom to Woodlands area will be 2-3 hours only.
@@RyanLim-xm4ek Yes, it will not as many people for your timing.
Amoi...want to ask ..from 4.30am..what time u out from your place😅
Adik 🤣 I usually go out between 5.45am to 6.00am. Sometime I late abit 6am++
Sis, you cook all these in ur jb house is it ?
yes.
Your spoon very tua gong 😅😅👍👍
🤣no ah, normal spoon only haha
Thanks for sharing, just wondering if Chinese can stay in Malaysia n work in Singapore as well as Singapore rent is bloody high…
Did you mean Chinese from China? You will need to apply something like long term pass I guess.
@@LifeOfAshlynOng from Malaysia? Or Singapore?
@@emilysherlock9787 huh? I dont get it.
@@LifeOfAshlynOng I mean need to get long term pass from Malaysia or Singapore? Malaysia?
Hi I want to ask about while we go job we need register ica mobile every before 3 days?
Err I don't quite get your question. You mean the SG arrival card?
@@LifeOfAshlynOng yes
@@samreshsam4785 You have to fill in everyday if you haven't gotten your temporary work permit.
@DoReMiDo_ thank you for kind reply to me because I asked everyone that they know they never helped me also my father he also said I can't help you 😔
But you the one help me Thank you so much
@@samreshsam4785 Aww you are welcome! You from johor also? Plan to travel everyday like me?
How long does it take door-to-door in the morning and after work?
Did you mean from my house to custom? It will be less than 10 minutes.
@@LifeOfAshlynOng No I mean from leaving your house to reaching your office.
@@18000rpm Oh okay. It would take around 2 hours+- depending on the traffic 🚦. I have film a week in my life recording all the time. I will upload it by this week. Stay tuned! ☺️
@@LifeOfAshlynOng2hrs sounds not bad, but why you hv to wakeup in 4:30am? Maybe you can consider ride a bike and wake up at 6am to reach office at 8-8:45am? May I know if ppl start work at 3pm at Singapore what time they should go out from malaysia?
@@jiahui644 3pm ah, I think it depends where you stay in Malaysia, if let's say you stay near custom and where you work in Singapore, can go out at 12.30pm?
coz I work at Joo Koon, quit far, and I woke up early to do my morning routine. Bike is very dangerous.
Are there others in your company also daily commuting?
hmm 🤔 I think not at the moment, soon will have one.
@@LifeOfAshlynOng I know someone who does car pooling with a few colleagues. They hire a car to bring them in every morning. All work in same office.
@@Sunshine-zi4nq Ya I have a Facebook group as well but I think it's expensive to me..
@@LifeOfAshlynOng Ya, I guess it would cost more
@@Sunshine-zi4nq Yes.
❤❤❤

Need to wake up so early..sacrifice sleep. I really salute the malaysians working so hard.
Not like singaporeans so lazy
Hello do you know if foreigner working in singapore can stay in malaysia? Because my partner is working there hoping for your reply thank you
Yes, you will need to apply MACS.

And also must apply long term pass in Malaysia.
That's all I know.
Hope it helps!

How much is your salary working in customer svc line? If u are nt comfortable to share… maybe can just reveal the first digit?
it's 2 😀 It depends your working experience and qualifications.
did u rent a condo？what price？
Yes, I rent a unit. RM 1680 for 800+sqft. My owner is very kind to give me this rental.
@@LifeOfAshlynOng what condo? it looks close to jb sentral
@@suzytang9986 If you want nearer, that would be R&F Princess Cove.
You buy apartment in JB? How much?
I rent a house oh. 1+1, RM1200. But I already bought a house near Tampoi.

@@eugenelim5502 I am single but not available 😂
@@LifeOfAshlynOng you stay with your boyfriend
@@eugenelim5502 Yes.
1 bulan 1 kali ganti passport ? 😅
Kenapa? tak paya lah 😂
Work permit holders no need to chop
If you stay in Johor and work in Singapore, your life spend on working and transportation with so little time to interact with society. You can have luxury things but you live like robot repeating same pattern in life. Money is important but not everything.
I agree with you. But have you thought of why I got time to do RUclips content? And I can still stream for Dota2 game? And I have a video editing part time job as well. This is all how we manage our time.
Even you stay rural side you still doing same thing everyday
@@goggles7777 True! Everyone just does the same thing over and over again every day.
Oh wow u play dota sister. What rank r u?
@@relaxjen Yes. I am Ancient currently.
Sat work 1/2 day is the most unproductive event.
no choice😔
Moving to JB soon
Great video
Thank you for your comment! oh Wow you working in Singapore as well?
@@LifeOfAshlynOng Yes
Am still worried , how the commute will be for a nurse though.
@@gladyslufen2023 Not to worry. Everything will be fine and smooth. What you worried about btw?
Malaysians are the most lucky among all the foreigners in SG. To earn SGD but to come back to your home country everyday and spend in your own currency without having to suffer the high cost of living in Singapore. Something that foreigners from China, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines,Vietnam, Bangladesh and Myanmar can only dream about. While people from these countries have to suffer from the high house rental and high cost of living in SG, Malaysians just need to endure this daily commute for a few years and u are set for life. With the current exchange rate being S$1 to RM3.40, its no wonder so many Malaysians are coming in to SG to get rich 😂 the causeway is like jammed up at all hours even 3am..
You have a good point! Malaysian especially Johorean are very lucky 😁
Yes we r actually even luckier than singaporeans hv to work till old and do ns
No CPF...
Sad...
@@LifeOfAshlynOng Blame it on Dr Mahathir, harassing SG to have all Malaysian CPF repatriated when he was PM. Probably irked by this harassment, it was decided that there would be no CPF for M'sians working in SG.
@@pkwanchua But we can save the CPF ourselves tho.
@@LifeOfAshlynOng CPF like EPF is 2 parts. Your contribution is just the EmployEE portion. There is no CPF contribution from your EmployER !
@@pkwanchua oh Understand! But just contribute ourselves will do ah 😅
Thanks for contributing to SG. It must be tough for u.
Aww. Thanks for your understanding! ☺️
This looks like a sad video
Why? is it because no music?
Meanwhile Singaporeans be like 'oh your office in Jurong East? I stay Jurong West, that's too far for me'. True story btw
My office is in Joo Koon. ☺️
Get a 5 day work week job
I hope so ..
Know of a live in nanny from JB signed a contract with a singapore female doctor who give birth and her monthly pay is wow $ 3700 wow her contract is for 2 yrs, no need to work ever after
wow that's a huge pay!
very shiok $1 to RM3.2, Just work hard like this for 10 to 15 years, invest your money wisely into global etf monthly then can retire faster than anyone working in malaysia.
Ya, that's right!
Get a singaporean bf then u dont need to cross custom every day😂
haha great idea 🤣
Better don't..Sg guys all kayu

I have a lot of questions..is there any different between people who go to singapore for traveling and who go for working ??? like, of course if worker they need the work permit right..so how I wanna enter singapore without work permit..how they know you go to singapore as a worker or traveler...is there have a different lane for a worker and traveler ?? I wanna go to singapore to find a job by this month..I try to reach you on instagram but instagram limit the chat at one chat only until you procedd the chat..hope you can give a respond on my comment..sorry my english wasn't good enough
Working people need work permit yes. Traveller need to fill up the digital white card called SG arrival card. Yes there are different lane for visitor / workers/ Singaporean. I didn't see you dm on Instagram, you may dm me again. Thank you!
Hi very interesting vlog! What do you do for a visa? Can a Malaysian get a visa easily to work in Singapore? Just curious. Thank you!
