Maganda ang weather here.  Not that hot and no rain

[ashleycole]

@yellow_bell - hi sis, sa value hotel thomson din kami mag stay sa balestier road..iisa lang ba yang value hotel thomson at value hotel balestier? 

[yellow_bell]

sis, magkaiba ata. yung address kasi ng Value Hotel is 218 Balestier Road while yung sa Thomson is 598 Balestier. Pero baka magkalapit lang din. what time flight niyo sa 18? Cebu pac din? kasi 6:25am. hehe

[ashleycole]

^magkalapit lang pala tayo sis    1:35pm depart namin via silkair, davao-cebu-sg kami..

[princess lorraine]

Thanks sis xtine. Sana magtuloy tuloy up to next week ang magandang weather na yan. 

[yezzi]

Sis yezzi, for me 5 days in sg is enough.  you can check out cebu pac, tiger airways and jetstar airways for promo fares to sg. 

Thank You sis, as usual the main concern in enjoyment and happiness of the kids.

[chinkee]

sis princess lorraine check http://app2.nea.gov.sg/index.aspx for weather forecast...

last Aug 4 nagpunta kami ng Gardens by the Bay, forecasted that day was Rainshowers pero good thing sa umaga sobrang sunny.. sa hapon dun lang nag ulan.. napansin ko ganun nga siguro talaga yung pattern.. if expected na may rain medyo hapon nagsisimula... saka depende minsan mabilis lang ang ulan.. parang dadaan lang.. depende na lang kung may bagyo sa Pinas or Indonesia..

Wishing for a sunny and good weather din on those days! Long Weekend yeah!! 

[princess lorraine]

Thanks for the info sis chinkee!  can't wait to have fun, shop, eat and be merry in sg! 

[llemija]

Don't forget to watch the Wonderfull show sa MBS.  8PM sya and 11PM.  Mas maganda sya kesa sa Songs of the sea at libre pa.

sis, yung MBS ba eh sa marina bay? thanks

[xtine]

sis, yung MBS ba eh sa marina bay? thanks

Ay, sorry.  MBS is Marina Bay sands.  And meron sila daily show pag napanood mo na to, hindi na exciting ang Songs of the sea kasi laser light, fire and water show din sya pero free.

hi mga sis! question lang, me and my siblings are going to singapore. sadly, di na makakasama parents namin. then my sister is still 16 years old. okay lang ba na magkapatid lang kami magtatravel? or mahihirapan kami sa consul? tia!

[princess lorraine]

Hi! Saan pa po ibang branches ng ben & jerry's ice cream sa sg? Favorite ice cream brand ko kasi ito eh. Dati sa uss, night safari and orchard road ako nakabili. I saw a store in vivo city. Saan pa meron? Thanks

[chinkee]

sis keziah, is it first time? usually dun kasi medyo strict ang IOs sa Pinas.. anyway just have complete set of documents na lang with you..
* Plane tickets (2 way)
* Hotel booking (or your Housing arrangement kung makikitira sa relative.. have them make an invitation letter)
* Planned Itinerary
* Pocket Money ( and credit cards if have)
* Employment ID / proofs (for those na working na)
* Student ID (for your sister)
* Im not sure kung may required ba na documents if minor travelling abroad or something...
I think okay na yan siguro and of course be smart sa pagsagot sa IO.. wag kabahan minsan talaga power trip yung ibang mga IOs..

sis princess lorraine, if you're looking to buy lang .. major supermarkets (NTUC, Cold Storage, Sheng Siong.. etc) are selling Ben & Jerry's .. just find a supermarket in a given mall malamang meron silang stock ng B&J.. Scoop shops here: http://www.benjerry.com.sg/scoop-shops/scoop-shop-locator

sis keziah1219, wala namang prob sa IO. basta present nyo lang yong roundtrip ticket, passport & kung may reservation kayo sa hotel, print nyo na rin.

sis princess lorraine, fave ko rin yang ben & jerry ice cream. na-try ko yong sa vivo city malapit sa cotton on

[tsokoholic]

sis keziah1219, baka humingi ang IOs sa Manila ng DSWD letter. Twice na ako nag travel with my siblings (tatlo kami) papunta SG dati na hiningan kami dahil below 18 yung sister ko.  Nung 1st time (xmas 2009 - male IO), nakalusot kami dahil napakiusapan yung officer na nasa SG ang parents namin and we weren't aware na kailangan kaya hindi kami nakakuha. Pero bonggang pakiusap yun ah. May iyak factor pa yung kapatid ko. Hehe.

2nd time, kaming tatlo ulit, (xmas 2010 - female IO) pagtingin palang sa passport ni little sis (then 15 yo), sinabi agad na "minor sya, may dswd ba kayo?". Since prepared na kami, ayun, binigay lang namin yung letter/certificate galing dswd and wala na iba tanong.

Sa SG IOs, wala naman problem.

Hope to help!

here's a link for more information on the DSWD requirement for minors travelling without either parent: http://www.dswd.gov.ph/index.php/faq/1886-travel-clearance-for-minors-

[keziah1219]

thanks sis tsokoholic, rocky and chinkee!

actually, we've been to hongkong and macau already but with parents. ngayon kasi hindi makakasama mom namin because naexpire na pala passport niya. ang sad nga eh.

will do the dswd requirement, kaya lang makakaya pa kaya since next sunday na alis namin? sana mahabol pa.

and will bring the necessary docs. thanks talaga mga sis!

[princess lorraine]

Thanks sisses chinkee and rocky!  gusto ko talaga yung sa scooping station. Sana meron pa yung sa orchard road. Pag wala sa vivo city nalang ako kakain nito, thanks

[marose17]

@princesslorraine, may Ben & Jerry's din sa food court of Raffles City Shopping Center between Swissotel Stamford and Fairmont hotels.

[princess lorraine]

Thanks sis marose17!  plan ko nga rin pumunta sa raffles shopping center kasi hindi ko siya napuntahan before.
