Sept 13-16, 2012

DAY 1: Airport, Chinatown, Bugis, Orchard Road, Lucky Plaza

Pay travel tax muna bago magcheck-in para di na pabalik-balik. IO PH: mabait na baby face na lalaki yung natapat sa amin. Sabay na rin kami lumapit ng kasama ko. Since friendly sila pareho nung kasama ako, ayun nagkwentuhan pa sila. IO SG: binasa lang first name ko sa passport at tinanong kung kasama ko yung nauna sakin (friend ko). di na iniscan luggage namin. pagkalabas ng door, turn right: andun free shuttle bus to changi terminal 2. follow sign "trains to city" ata yun. topped up our EZLink na hiniram lang namin ($20.22 lang yung nagastos ko for 3.5 days including bus to JB). Went to our friend's flat to leave our luggages, ate lunch there then went to chinatown. I <3 SG Shirt at SGD 3, ref magnets 5 for $5. Ate at Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken sa Maxwell, $3.50 chicken, rice, soup large size. Yung friend ko bumili din somewhere sa Maxwell ng seafood rice at $4.50. Went to Buddha Tooth Relic Temple (masarap magpalamig dito hehe) and Sri Mariamman Temple (walang makikita sa loob). Bumili ng chili pork jerky 1 kg at $46 sa Kim Hua Guan sa may People's Park Centre. Went to bugis street. dito pa lang suko na mga paa namin. bought honeydew juice at $1, egg puffs (di ko to natikman sa HK) at $2. Went to orchard road. ate $1 ice cream.. mas masarap yung new flavor nila. nalimutan ko yung name. basta yung may "marble" something.. ate dinner at ION foodcourt: hor fun $4.50, kway teow $6, indonesian food $9. Nagpapalit ng sgd to ringgit sa lucky plaza yung mga kasama ko.

DAY 2: Universal Studios, Sentosa, Clarke Quay

Sa flat ng friend ko may Fairprice na grocery store. nakabili kami ng 3 bottled water for $0.85.

Sa mga pupunta ng zoos, kuha kayo ng discount voucher for tourists sa Vivo City. Just show your passport. Ask the information counter na lang, nalimutan ko kasi kung 2nd floor ba yun. $3.50 ang entrance sa sentosa kaya sulitin. gawing 1 day lahat ang activities sa sentosa.

USS. $60 fee sa USS c/o mastercard promo. diretso na agad sa entrance, ticket na talaga yung paper na ipprint nyo. walang pila kasi friday kami. Okay yung transformers, pati The Mummy. Niregret ko na hindi ko triny yung Battlestar kasi sabi ng friend ko mas nakakatakot pa daw yung drop ng The Mummy (take note, matatakutin ako sa rides). Ayos din yung Waterworld (umupo sa brown benches para hindi basain) at Lights, Camera, Action! Ang pinilahan lang namin yung mga papicture sa mga Universal Studios characters. Galing din ng streetboys, pinoy pride talaga. bought small size of chicago mix garrett's popcorn for $8. Pinoy pa yung vendor at super friendly siya.

Lunch sa KFC Sentosa $7.50 for 2 na yan: chicken + 2 sides + drinks. di ko nagustuhan yung ketchup dito.

Luge and Skyride. $18 for 2 luge and 2 skyrides. 1 skyride lang ginawa namin. kasalanan ko, natakot ako sa skyride. di ko na uulitin yun. hahaha acrophobic kasi ako at open na open siya. nakakaloka. tuwang tuwa ako sa luge. sana mas mahaba pa yung trail. :)

Southernmost point of continental asia at Palawan Beach + Siloso Beach: Wala nagpapapic lang kami dito. parang sa MOA lang din ang feeling ko dito eh. Sa Siloso beach, nagenjoy lang kaming panoorin yung mga tanders na americans na nagttrapeeze. ang cute nila.

Bumalik kami sa USS para magpapicture sa mga characters at manood ng Donkey Live. hehe pwede na rin, nakakatawa naman.

Clarke Quay. Mineet namin friends namin na nagwwork sa SG and kumain kami sa Mall malapit dun sa boat quay. sa foodtimes @ SG ata yun. $4 for Mee Goreng na malaki ang serving pero naubos ko. hehe Picture2x lang, pinanood yung GMax, nakakatakot sya. hehe. Experienced night life at Aquanova bar and restaurant. Ang mahal! cocktails at $16, juice at $10. sakit sa bangs. pero masaya.. dance all night long. di ko maalala yung entrance fee, $16 nga ata, consumable na yun. may 4 brazillian girls pa na sumasayaw ng pussycat dolls. hahaha ginabi na kami ng uwi so nagtaxi kami. alam ko inabot kami ng $18.30 e. clarke quay to hougang with surcharge na.

DAY 3: SG City tour

late na kami gumising since gabi naman ang habol naming shots sa mga spots na to. went to funan mall para sa mga bilin ng mga friends namin. then passed by st. andrew's cathedral. lunch at lau pa sat. wala pang tao. kaya super asikaso kami ni uncle. sarap ng satay! Asli ata yung name ng stall.. pero mahal din eh. laki ng prawns. $48 yung set ng mutton, chicken, prawn satay, share na kaming 4. went to gardens by the bay at nagpadilim.. wala syang kwenta pag umaga so go there sa gabi. na starstruck ako sa MBS. ganda ng exterior, pati yung mall ang ganda. natuwa ako dun sa bilog sa tapat ng MBS shoppes. yung pwede kayo magkarinigan kahit malayo. hehe then watched the Wonder Full Show at 830pm. buti nakakuha kami ng pwesto. ang ganda. libre pa. dinner at makansutra gluttons bay: chili crab, cereal prawns (sarap nito!), grilled sting ray, crab rolls, stir fried kangkong, bandung juice $2.50. passed by SG flyer, esplanade, art science museum, helix bridge. nakapagpapic pa kami ng malayuan sa MBS habang may WonderFull show ng 11pm. kaya may laser lights si MBS dun sa mga pics namin. :) last stop, si Merlion. swerte namin kasi last week, nasa SG yung friend namin, at kita ko sa pics nya na may bakod pa si merlion at di pa nagfflow yung water. pero nung andun kami, gawa na sya. then accdg sa friend na kasama namin na nagwwork sa SG, bago yung base niya na color blue. buti na lang.. well, F1 na rin kasi at nagpprepare na sila. pumasok lang ako sa fullerton hotel para mag cr then uwi na. muntik na naman kaming masaraduhan ng mga trains/buses. napatakbo talaga kami sa overpass nung nakakita pa kami ng tamang bus no.

DAY 4: to Legoland Johor Bahru Malaysia

Tips:

1.  For those going to SENTOSA, no need to buy the sentosa entrance if you have ezlink, just tap your ezlink on appropriate slot.  In this way, time is not wasted on lines.

2.  When in Ion, don't forget to try 4fingers.  Masarap na version of bonchon, frequent ang mga locals dito at pinoy.

3.  Also, for Garette's popcorn, try the Caramelcrisp MIX (Almond or Macadamia flavor).  It sells for S$9 for small.  Its their best seller, reason why it is more expensive.

4. Try to visit any IKEA in singapore (Tampines or Alexandra).  There's no IKEA in Phils so eating here as well as shopping is a good must do.

Do not forget to try their meatballs with lingonberry sauce and gravy as this is their best seller.  The cakes are likewise very good.

Sis wala ka talaga mapapanood pag nasa labas ka. Kasi nilalagyan nila ng cover yung parts ng track na medyo nadadaanan ng non-ticket holders. The best you can do is watch inside the Esplanade (im not sure what specific area though) through projectors na set up nila and hear the loud engine roars at the same time. The next choice if you really want to take a picture of the racing cars is at least buy 1-day ticket. Friday is the cheapest para my chance ka makapicture during practice time nila. The tickets will be worth it if you're really into F1. :)

naku sis, sold out na ang 1day ticket. di na kami nakahabol. i'll check nalang yung advise mo, inside Esplanade. tomorrow na ang f1. so excited to experience the event. hopefully magmura ang merchandise nila after the event. nagrrange din sa S$59 - 89 ang shirt; S$120 ang polo shirt.

most of the day dito lang ako sa loob ng hotel, sobrang init kasi sa labas. usually lumalabas lang ako pag 5pm onwards to do errands and to housekeep na din ng room.

me promo ang USS for this month. S$60 (U.P. S$74 peak day) for mastercard holder. but i only have visa cc. pwede din kaya ang gamitin maestro (metrobank paycard) dito? di ba ang maestro is affiliate ng mastercard?
