Singapore (Thread 20)

[travelling_daisy]

^ sis, maraming pwedeng pasyalan sa SG.

There's Jurong Bird park, Singapore Zoo, USS, Adventure Cove Waterpark, SEA Aquarium and there are other spots in Sentosa like the Luge and Skyride. You may also want to watch the Songs of the Sea show there. How old are your kids? Siguro sis you should based your itinerary from what their interests are. Happy planning!

thanks sis travelling_daisy. contemplating nga ako kasi i read sa tripadvisor, mageenjoy daw kids legoland.. kaso nakakadehydrate daw ang init. 105cm lang kasi anak ko, so baka di nya nga nasulit universal.
 
^hi sis xtine, besides po sa lacoste na outlet ano pa po iba? thanks:))

[Cari]

[travelling_daisy]

^^sis chubbelita, kagagaling lang namin ng Legoland. My kids had fun there though sobrang init talaga. Mas pambata doon.

Re: Johor Premium Outlets -- ok naman. Me good deals na din, especially for makeups, perfumes, beauty stuff. Pero di ako mahilig dun so konti lang nabili ko. Got some shoes sa Pedro, and some stuff sa Esprit, Lacoste, etc. meron din ako nabili dresses sa isang local brand.

Sa Coach outlet, namamahalan pa din ako. Lalabas mas mura pa din if i "pabili" sa states then ship here via Johnny Air. But pwede na din naman, madami selection.

Burberry, wala masyado nice selection when i was there. Michael Kors, medyo mahal pa din. I can get cheaper deals from US websites + JAC shipping. I'm mostly interested in shoes and bags, btw.

I went to JPO on a daytrip/commute from SG. Sulit na din kasi roundtrip bus fare ko was about sgd10 lang. Ok na pampalipas-oras na din. I took Causeway Link bus from/to Queen St station, malapit sa Bugis.

hello po..kailangan ba buong maghapon mag stay sa USS or masyadong bitin pag mga hanggang 4pm lang? we only have 1 day to spend in SG, mga 6am to 9pm siguro, we were thinking kung kakayanin ang USS from opening til 4pm then  gardens by the bay at sightseeing 5pm onwards. kaya po ba? thanks

[kho_leen]

^^yes, mura na ang 7K/room for a 4-star hotel. kasi yung ibis (3-star hotel), 7K/room ang binayaran ko last year at regular price. go get it!

Thanks sis. 

Hubby really eats heavy breakfast.  YMCA na kami and 1night MBS. Got their promo rates 

[minnie99]

@tammy1979 kaya naman sis. Kami usually hanggang 4 lang sa USS, tapos shopping ng chocolates sa labas til 5. Pero kasi weekday kami pumunta, or 2nd time na namin, or naka-express pass kami. Pero tingin ko kaya naman pero di lahat ng attractions mapupuntahan

[dette8888]

I agree. Pag limited time mo for USS, I suggest kumuha ng express pass. Kagagaling lang namin dun last weekend. Saturday pa yun so sobrang dami ng tao. Naka-express pass kami so mas madaming attractions ang napuntahan. Maximum waiting time for each major attraction for express pass holders is 15 minutes vs. 1 hour for non express pass holders. Dun nga sa ibang attractions 5-minute waiting time lang kami. Pre-purchase yata dapat ang express pass - SG$50 (Saturday); SG$30 (other days). 5 hours lang kami dun and madami na kaming nagawa. 

[kho_leen]

Sobrang ganda ba ng Songs of the Sea? 

[dindinstars]

Hi Sis,

Di naman sobrang ganda pero recommended sha as must see kase nakaka-aliw sha.

[minnie99]

^Totoo, recommended siya Maganda naman mapanood once...

Pinag-iisipan ko lang kung sasama pa ko sa friends ko this May na panoorin yun... Sila kasi first time sa SG ako 6th time ko na yata, bale 4th time in 2 years haha

[althea_ge]

saan nakakabli ng beryl's chocolate sa Singapore?

[rachelt12]

advices please.   which area is better to stay:  Bencoolen St, Fort Canning (or near Dhoby Ghaut Stn) or Chinatown?  Budget is below $100 (couple kami), shared bathroom or small hostel/hotel is okay.  We're not so choosy naman, just want it clean.  

Oh, we're going there by January 2013 pa naman but baka mas cheaper to book this early, usually, can cancel naman di ba?

thank you.

[tammy1979]

Thanks sis dette and sis minnie...Magkano na ba ang Express pass at ang yung regular lang? saka may nabasa ako na may 15% discount thru mastercard? kailangan ba direct sa webiste nila to? Thanks uli..

Hi, sis!

Dito kami nag book online: https://reservations.rwsentosa.com/RWSItinerary/Reservation.aspx?&product=Attraction_635006592716172644;1;1&utm_source=uss_mrktg&utm_medium=rws_web_promo&utm_campaign=bookonline&utm_nooverride=1

Better kung jan ka na magbook para sigurado at hindi ka na pipila pagdating mo sa USS.

Check mo mabuti yung date pag magbu-book ka ha, kasi yung express pass valid lang for the date na ibu-book mo. For mastercard promo, 1-day pass is SG$63 (adult, reg is SG$74), SG$46 (child, reg is SG$54).

Ang express pass naman is SG$30 on all days, except Saturdays. SG$50 pag Saturday.

Hi, Sis!

I and my family went to SG last March 30-31. We stayed in Chinatown. Convenient sya for us kasi malapit sa MRT station and dun din may murang bilihin. We booked through www.agoda.com - sa Backpackers' Inn Chinatown. Dorm-type sya pero malinis. Mga pinoy ang staff doon kaya mas madali kausap at pagtanungan ng mga pupuntahan. Price is mga P750++ per head per night (less than P1k).  Free wi-fi din.

Dun na yata ang pinakamalinis na Chinatown. Sa mga nabasa kong blogs before kami bumiyahe, maingay daw sa gabi dahil sa pub na malapit dun. Surprisingly, sobrang tahimik naman nung nandun kami. Nakakabingi ang katahimikan kahit daytime.
