Singapore (Thread 18)

[xtine]

Budget Terminal will be closed and all Low cost airlines will be in Terminal 2 starting September 25, 2012.

They are building the Terminal 4 which will house all Local Cost Carriers.

The problem that I see here is Changi is VERY far from the city center (tourist spots) so its either you leave your luggages in the Left luggage and roam around changi airport (or Singapore Expo which is just a station away from Changi) until 1PM.

Are you sure you're out of the custom clearance at 10AM sharp?  Most likely you will be done with immigration and all at around 11AM. 

So that leaves you with 11AM - 1PM (2 hours).

Travel time via MRT from Changi terminal to Bugis (If you're staying at SEA Hotel) is an hour ride.  And SEA hotel is not just across bugis hotel, you have to haul your luggages from bugis MRT to bencoleen link. 

So that covers your 11AM - 1PM.  I would not be thinking of leaving my luggage in the lockers of the airport.

^No sis apartment type kame sa lorong realty park.. Pano kaya?

also san yung swimming pool na mukhang nasa tuktok ng building? is it for public use? ganda ng view eh 

[xtine]

^sis, read my entry re travel time.  Likewise research how far lorong realty from airport.  Wala pala check in so why are u waiting for 1pm kung apartment sya.

[rocky]

^^agree with sis xtine, kung apartment type yan anytime pwede kang mag-check in kasi hindi naman yan hotel na may standard time.

sis glacy_rein, skypark ng MBS yong may pool sa taas.

iba pa ba bayad nung sa transformers or kasama na un sa package??

nakakatuwa naman sunud sunod tayong pupunta! hehe.

now now im curious sa itinerary namen.. help! and may beach area ang singapore. worth it ba mag-swimming? 4days naman kame eh. hehe!

Kasama na yung Transformer sa package therefore wala nang ibang bayad run. Ilan ba kayo pupunta? Kasi kung dalawa lang kayo pwede ka na sa single ride express yung 1 up to 2 persons lang. Para mas mabilis.

About sa beach sa Singapore? Ang alam ko sa Sentosa meron, though according to my parents na nagpunta dyan hindi raw ata gaun ka worth. Pero try mo rin search.



Ako naman ang magtatanong rito.

Matao ba sa Marina Bay Sands kapag after Christmas? Let us say yung tipong December 26 to 30?

[xtine]

^matao sya last year.

For beach, sentosa is not recommended because parking ng barko.  That's why singaporeans go to either bintan or batam for beach escape.    Pls don't ask me how to go there, do research pls.

[Purple_Power]

Ano nga ba yung months na hindi ganung katao? Or talagang everyday matao siya?

[xtine]

^define matao sis kasi lagi syang matao.  The place was never without tourists and locals coz of the casino, shoppes and the theatreS

[Purple_Power]

Yung tipong maraming tao na kung minsan eh! hindi ka na talagang makakaswimming. Or sabihin na natin kung kailan crowded o less crowd.

Wala lang gusto ko minsan magpractice ng swimming run.

[xtine]

^ahh you meant infinity pool.  Akala ko kung aling lugar sa MBS coz its a huge place!

whenever we swim in the infinity pool of MBS laging matao.   Swam there thrice this year.  To add, you won't be able to do that swimming run thing coz its like three small pools.  And its all shallow.  For dipping purpose only.  Everybody is just after the view. Good luck!

[Purple_Power]

^ Ganun pala yun. Eh di parang 4ft lang lalim niya or parang 5ft lang?

Sana next time maabutan ko naman na may fireworks.

[chinkee]

fireworks usually pag New Year (Dec31/Jan1) at Singapore National Day (Aug9).. mahirap din magsecure ng room at that dates so plan very early.. I know MBS pool is about that height lang.. relatively thin ang crowd pag weekdays though marami pa rin..

[glacy_rein]

^^agree with sis xtine, kung apartment type yan anytime pwede kang mag-check in kasi hindi naman yan hotel na may standard time.

sis glacy_rein, skypark ng MBS yong may pool sa taas.

I asked din eh kaso 1pm daw talaga check in time, check out is 12noon

I found this website. http://www.marinabaysands.com/Sands-SkyPark/Tickets/ kaso ang swimming pool exclusive lang sa hotel guests.. Ang mahal ng check in! Kaloka.. Worth ba puntahan to kahit viewdeck lang? 20sgd dn.. Sayang may american express mom ko kaso hindi naman sya kasama. mas malake sana discount hehe.

[rocky]

^oo, exclusive lang sa mga guest yong pool. hati yong opinion ng mga sis natin, may iba sabi maganda daw. pero kung sasakay ka ng singapore flyer kahit wag ka ng umakyat sa skypark since pareho lang makikita mong view.

[Purple_Power]

^Tama better yet mag SG flyer na lang. Ang pinagkaiba lang naman is mas mataas sa Marina Bay. Mas okay pa rin SG flyer kasi may adventure.

Advise ko lang sa mag SG flyer, if you want to avail pictures na sila ang kumuha then don't wear green kasi conflict sa green screen nila. Chances are matatagalan bago claim. Ito nangyari sa Mom ko eh! Ginawa nilang blue yung suot niya. Pero if you are not going to avail then you can wear that.

[akireyhoj]

i agree! SG flyer nalang. lugi kami non sa MBS! ang daming tao!!!

[Purple_Power]

Unless na lang kung merong matatakutin o mahiluhin sa rides habang umaakyat at baba then yung MBS na nga lang ang mas okay.

Gusto ko namang maranasang ma-stranded sa SG flyer lalo na sa tuktok  nangyari na raw yun.

[akireyhoj]

^talaga sis? ako malulain eh pero hindi ako nalula. na appreciate ko lang ganda ng SG sa gabi. gaganda nga ng shots ni BF nung nasa SG flyer kami eh kita kasi buong SG.
