Going to Johor Bahru as first timer

Yesterday, marley and me.. no no my fiance and me went to Johor Bahru to renew his SVP. Thanks God (yes folks, I give thank now and then) that everything went smoothly.
The trip was also okay, not like what I imagined with all the horrible news about the new check point. No traffic jam at all and the bus queue was not long.

To sum it up:
1. Alight at kranji MRT station and go to the bus station OPPOSITE the mrt station.
2. Wait for bus no 170 or 160.
3. Alight at Woodland Checkpoint
4. Queue (short)
5. Go to the bus station inside the check point and wait for bus no 170 or 160 again
6. Alight at CIQ
7. Another queue. This one was very long aarrghh...Oops almost forget, grab the white paper and fill in the form. I will suggest to the traveler to bring your own pen, so you can fill in the form while queuing. Use another person back as 'alas nulis' if he/she doesn't mind. Just joking
8. Voila, arrive already. There is a mall, call City Square that's linked with the checkpoint building. Just follow the information, you'll get there. PS: the map directory for that mall is confusing.
9. Eat Portuguese Chicken and Egg Tart, Trying to find a cute, cheap, short heel sandal at Padini (not successful although they're having end year clearance I think, Ladies or shoe lovers you should go), Watch Australia (boring...but Mr. Jackman handsome as always), buy cigarettes, bath soap (arrghh so cheap) and Shi Lin (taiwan snack)
10. Back to CIQ and queue again (short one)
11. Took bus 170
12. Alight at Woodland check point and another queue (short one also)
13. Took SMRT bus 950
14. Alight at kranji station and headed home.
