Singapore (Thread 21)

[chizzyness]

hi mga sis yung great singapore sale ba pati sa changi airport kasama? 

[GirlCrush]

q-tee, if your son eats pasta, may kids pasta sa Ikea. Sa mga food courts/Hawkers naman, there's hokkien mee (noodles), Omurice if there's a "Japanese" stall or those traditional soups

Re: your itinerary, if you're going to go to Ikea Alexandra, better if you can just have dinner here so you can look around right after eating. Assuming you finish at 8:30-9pm if you have dinner by 7:30pm, you have 2 hrs to look around since they close at 11PM... Or if you can finish dinner by 8:30 you can go to Anchorpoint for a while. The mall is just small and there's only Charles & Keith, Pedro, Cotton On, Esprit, G2000 and Billabong outlets here so it won't really take you that long.

Also, there's a Lacoste store inside Changi Airport so it's okay if you can just ditch the trip going to Changi City Point

^Sis, is the lacoste inside changi terminal cheaper (w.o GST) than the lacoste outlet store in Changi point outlet? 

[GirlCrush]

^They have similar promotions and sometimes can be cheaper.. The problem with Lacoste's CCP is they don't have much small sizes. If you're after mens shirts tho it's okay but even their normal stores like the one in Ion and Wisma have similar promotions if you're buying 2 or more shirts. Last time I hoarded on their Lacoste Shirts at Ion, I got 3 shirts for $69 each and they're selling the same price at CCP

[xtine]

^Hmmm.  Thanks sis, I think I want to pay a visit in their outlet in Ion one time.  hehe

[_*q-tee*_]

@xtine thanks sa input.. I just put orchard kc hilig magshopping mga kasama ko and for sure dadaan ng dadaan doon mga yun.. Haha!
Day 2 hsbc kc may meeting kami doon haha!
Day 4 pala is our last day.. Flight kc namin is may 30 - june 3 ng 1am.. Kasya pa kya if we go early at sg zoo then be back at the hotel to check out? Or check out
1st then iwan yung luggage sa hotel muna then go to sg zoo? No river safari na..

@girlcrush thanks sa info on lacoste.. My hubby wanted to shirts kasi doon..

[GirlCrush]

^I think it was last month when me and my friend hoarded on their shirt (mens and women's) and got them for $199 for 3 shirts. If you compute it, it's the same price as what they sell at CCP

[xtine]

^^Take note sis _*q-tee*_ that if take the sg zoo on the last day, sobrang pagod yan dahil maraming activities sa sg zoo.  Then you have to run to your hotel then to Changi airport.  If you still want to do this, taxi na kayo all the way para mabilis at hindi na kayo mapagod sa kakalakad with your luggages.  I suggest just take the sg zoo on the third day then your last day is your free shopping day.

[_*q-tee*_]

I will just let go of the gardens by the bay then palit ko ng sg zoo. Ang 2 yrs old and below ba free admission?

[xtine]

^I'm not sure though.  Everything pertaining to Singapore, even citizens go to the website to check.  Do see SG zoo's main website to see.

[GirlCrush]

^^free entrance for 3yrs and below take note that SG zoo will take atleast 1 day for you to go around specially if you're going to see the programs/animal shows scheduled.

[xtine]

^^Parang day 3 is too cramped.  Sentosa is one day (for those who haven't been there) as well as SG zoo.  Parang sayang ang pera if both will be for half day lang.  Especially SG zoo na ang entrance is SGD30++.

You can buy prepaid at any 7-11 stores.

Hello sisters! Punta kaming SG sa november... Kasama ko hubby ko at baby namin na almost 2 years old na by then... 11:55pm kasi arrival namin via cebupac... Pwede bang mag stay na lang kami sa airport hanggang mag-umaga then saka na lang kami mag check in sa hotel? Hindi pa naman kami nakabook ng hotel.. First time ko kasi mag travel abroad kaya wala pa akong alam 

[xtine]

^Mahirap ata dahil wala kayo pahinga from 12 noon onwards.  When you hit your day 1 pasyal, hindi nyo kaya ang pagod, hindi rin enjoy.  I suggest you get a decent hotel where you can rest so that on the following day, you have enough energy to enjoy SG.

[GirlCrush]

q-tee, your day 3 itinerary is impossible specially with a kid on tow

i dont suggest staying in the airport overnight lalo na you have a toddler in tow.

Parang OT tong post ko mga sis pero SG bound din ako, verify ko lang sa mga nag stay na nakapagbook na sa hotel.

ito kasi yung terms: "guest must pay in full for applicable stay period during registration"

Ibig ba sabihin na 'registration' - pagdating na namin sa hotel ay dun pa lang kami magbabayad? Kasi dun sa booking site kinukuha na yung Payment Details. Pasigurado lang ba nila yun just in case na mag no show ang guest? Magpapabook na kasi ako, I'm not sure lang how it goes, kung charge na ba kaagad or kung may reservation fee lang muna na deduct sa cc.

[xtine]

^Yes.  Upon check in kelangan mag full payment na.  Normally, they act as deposit (full amount), which ibabalik upon checkout. 

[_*q-tee*_]

I have to let go of either sg zoo or sentosa.. Baka sg zoo na lang balik na lang kami pag 4 yrs old na son ko then 2 yrs old naman daughter ko..

[rocky]

^sg zoo na lang sis, puro animals lang naman yon & halos ganon din makikita mo sa ibang zoo
