Singapore (Thread 21)

[ilovenaffy]

Sis, ilovenaffy, yes.  Bili nlang kayo ng Ezlink sa 7-11 para mas mura then top up nalang kayo once you feel na kukulangin kayo. 

Hi Sis Xtine,
ask ko lang kung alam mo kung kailan ang expiration ng ez link card? may friend kasi has one tapos papahiram nya sa akin. huling gamit nya last year. or 2 years max.

[gracita13]

mga sissies bigyan nyo naman ako ng idea hm magagastos ko for 3days kame lang ni hubby.simula ticket hanggang pampasalubong.mga magkano kaya aabutin? plan ko i-surprise si hubby by nextyear pa naman para mapag ipunan.TIA!

[yapeegurl]

gracita13, roughly around this much:
- Airfare roundtrip Pinas to SG: 15k pesos (Pero kapag may promo, it can go as low as 5k pesos each na round trip)
- Accomodation for 2 nights and 3 days: 9k pesos (if you book a hotel na 130SGD per night)
- Pasalubong: Meron dito mga keychain at shirts that are sold 3 for 10SGD. 1SGD is roughly equal to 33 pesos.
- Transpo: Baka ok na sa inyo ang 10SGD each kasi 2 days lang naman kayo. Average taxi fare during non peak hours ay 12 SGD. Peak hours siguro max 40 SGD ang maspend ninyo if you travel from East to West.
- Food: For simple hawker food mga 5SGD each. Fine dining can go as much as 80-100SGD per person.

So mag save ka around 50k pesos kasama na ang entrance fees sa mga amusement parks and may konting shopping

Hope this helps.

^ wow super thank you sis!! grabe anmahal ng hotels pala dyan to think na tutulugan lang naman namen dahil puro pasyal naman ang gagawin.anyways thank you again sissy this is so helpful! post na lang ulit ako kung san magandang pasyalan pag nakaready na si 50k 

[yapeegurl]

gracita13, meron pang mas mura diyan. Hindi ko lang kasi alam kung ano ang preference ninyo. Approximate lang iyan. But I'd suggest check ka sa agoda. Marami naman mura din. 50k pesos for 2 naman na iyon kasama airfare, board and lodgin, transpo, food, pasalubong, entrance fees sa amusement park, and possibly some shopping

[gracita13]

^eeeeh gusto ko naman yung shopping sis sige sis magtingin tingin na din ako sa agoda.thanks so much!

Hi Sis, wala akong makitang writeup regarding ezlink expiration.  Although I know it expires, let me check tomorrow kasi makikita daw sa receipt once i did a topup.  I will let yo know kasi ako rin gusto ko rin malaman how many years ang ating EZlink.

Update:  Its good for 5 years.

[jdabello]

hi mga sis...anybody of you have stayed in festive hotel? how do you get from changi airport to the hotel? we are a group of 4 with 2 tweenies and maybe 4 small luggage.

will it be MRT, bus or taxi for us? 

thanks in advance..

[rocky]

^kung madami kayo sis mas ok taxi

^^sis andylhen, pwede mo namang refund yon sis. email mo lang yong airline & attached ka ng med cert

[yapeegurl]

^^since meron ka kasamang babies, I'd suggest mag taxi na lang kayo from the airport to your hotel. Festive Hotel ba ito sa Resorts World?

[jdabello]

yes sis yapeegurl,festive hotel is in resorts world.. 2 nights lang kami don para masulit ang sentosa attractions, then we'll transfer hotel for the next two nights para naman sa mga gala outside sentosa...

sige, we'll consider taxi na lang para isang sakayan ang isang babaan na lang..

salamat..

[jdabello]

hi mga sis...please help me with my itinerary..here's what i did so far...

          Day 1 – arrival (2:00pm)
               -  check in hotel
                   -  Sentosa – songs of the sea, MBS, Singapore flyer, esplanade, merlion, imbiah station,
                                    -  luge
   
         Day 2 – USS
                    - vivo city

         Day 3 –  Singapore zoo
               -  Clarke quay
   
         Day 4 – Adventure cove water park until lunch time perhaps (?)
              -  orchard/bugis/chinatown/changi point in the afternoon 'til night
   
         Day 5 – check out

any suggestions, please...thanks ng madami..

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ for me, looks ok naman, except for Day 1. I think ang magagawa nyo lang is either Sentosa (Songs of the Sea, Luge, etc) then perhaps Vivo City after; or MBS-Flyer-Esplanade-Merlion.. magkalayong area din kasi yung dalawa so you have to consider travel time (+ travel time nyo pa from airport to hotel).

Sis, I suggest on day 1, squeeze gardens by the bay (3 - 5PM) then stroll along merlion and esplanade while there's still sunlight.  The sun sets here in SG at around 7PM.  Then by 7 - 9PM try to catch the wonderfull show in Marina Bay sands. 

Then Day 2, USS and Sentosa as both are located in a single island.

Day 3 is Okay.

Day 4.. I dunno where Adventure cove is, nor heard of it.  but if you think its fun, then I guess its okay.  There's nothing to see in bugis if you aren't into tiangge shopping IMO.  Chinatown is the place for pasalubong.  Orchard is for some serious shopping like H&M or eat in good restaus like Marche.

[yapeegurl]

jdabello, you're welcome! Regarding your itinerary:

Day 1: Songs of the Sea sa gabi lang siya. Magkasama dapat ang Songs of the Sea, Imbiah Station, and Luge. If arrival niyo ay 2pm, I assume makakarating na kayo sa hotel by 4pm siguro. Latest 4:30pm kasi mag queue pa kayo sa taxi sa airport going to Resorts world. I guess you'll have to choose either Sentosa tour or MBS area tour (includes Flyer, Esplanade and Merlion).

Day 2-3: OK

Day 4: Baka mabitin kayo sa Adventure Cove if half day lang. Or maybe you can stay there until 2pm lang pero baka hindi ninyo macover ang 4 locations na Orchard, Bugis, Chinatown, Changi City Point. Maybe Orchard and Bugis area lang. Or Changi City Point lang.

I just want to share pala. Not the usual tourist stop, but my husband and I usually meet up with our SG-based friends for brunch or dinner at Holland Village. And just recently, nagiging option na din ang The Star Vista. Both those places have good selection of nice restaurants, and we love the vibe. We used to go for Sunday brunch at Marche (the one in Vivo), but lately ang kinakainan na namin if nasa Vivo e yung mga Japanese restos dun. Just in case you have spare time in SG for a chillax brunch or dinner out, you might want to consider HollandV and Star Vista for a change - they're accessible by public transpo naman.

[yapeegurl]

^I agree! Favorite hang out place namin din noon ang Holland V (sa Wala-Wala). Marami din restaurants doon ano? And I remember doon kami bumibili noon ng party needs. Kung sa West area lang kami ulit nakatira, we'll frequent Holland V din And favorite ko din puntahan ang Marche (usually sa Somerset kami kasi meron small play place doon for our son at favorite ko ang crepe nila!). I haven't been to Star Vista mall. Bago pa lang kasi.

Update ko din pala regarding No Sign Board, we had dinner there last night. Ala carte kami. We had Chili crab (Sri Lanka) small, Coffee Ribs (hindi masarap!), Honey Chicken (hindi ko din masyado type), Shark's Fin soup, Duck, Sambal kangkong, Steamed Fish (grouper), yang chow fried rice, and 2 glasses of chardonnay. Total damage was 390 SGD. We were 6. Against sa set menu na good for 4 persons na 440 SGD.

[berrycherry]

question lang mga sis, per guest ba talaga ang bayad sa mga hotel dito sa sg? like kapag may kasamang kids additional bayad pa yun?

[xtine]

^Depende sa accommodation.  If mga 5 star hotels, normally they don't charge per person.  Pero if its 3 stars or less, minsan talagang they charge.  They don't accept many guests na hindi accounted for.  The same also happened to me in Cebu.  So I guess it applies to all small hotels.
