Singapore (Thread 23)

[michi247]

^Thanks sis, natry mo na ba WTS? online ang booking and payment?

Isip ko din kung pagdating na lang ko bili sa WTS kaso ano kaya pinakamalapit sa bugis dito sa branch nila. http://legoland.wtstravel.com.sg/contact-us.html

[burberi]

^^Sis bakit delikado sa JB? And paano sya delikado?

[GirlCrush]

^^Yes, we usually avail WTS' Legoland package Better if you book online nalang, wala kasi malapit sa Bugis area yung mga offices nila.. We booked online before and wala naman problems.

^Madaming manloloko sa JB... And ang mga lalaki dun walang sinasanto kahit babae. Taxi drivers palang if they know na hindi ka taga doon tatagain ka talaga that's why you have to insist on using the meter if possible or you should know kung mga magkano ang singilan sa distance na pupuntahan mo.. And nowadays grabe ang crime rate sa Malaysia and they usually target foreigners, From mugging to kidnapping 

[u8mypinkcookies]

^^ my mom's Malaysian friend na taga-KL told usthe same thing. Di safe sa JB compared to
KL kaya wag daw kami mag-hotel dun, balikan nalang. We hired a car nalang to JB kasi nag outlet pa kami after Legoland. The driver was recommended by a Singaporean family friend kasi yun nagdrive sa kanya lagi to Genting worry din namin pag we avail of the package, whole day kami magstay sa Legoland kadi may oras yung bus nila, eh in our case mga 2-3pm tapos na kami. Hehe.

[GirlCrush]

^KL's crime rate is also getting worse since last year.. 2 of my colleagues who are based there had a first hand experience sa bag snatching doon na nakamotor pa. Kawawa lang yung isa coz she was with her toddler when that happened and even her kid was not spared  With regards to the bus for package, you can choose whether to leave at an earlier time or ng mas late. In our case we usually choose yung 8:30pm since we have kids with us...

[burberi]

@GirlCrush ahhh ganoon ba. Hindi naman kami mag-stay sa JB. Punta lang kami dun from Singapore to ride the midnight train back to Kuala Lumpur. Would you know how far ang train station sa pagbababaan samin ng bus? Ayaw namin mag-taxi if late na byahe namin :S

[sweetsofia02]

Hi sisses! choosing between Hotel V lavander and YMCA. Which is better? In terms of location, kid friendly,service. TIA!😄

[xtine]

^Def sis YMCA.  Its practically close to everything.

[sweetsofia02]

Thank you sis xtine! 😃

Anyone here have tried to book thru asiatravel? Wala na kasing available sa agoda for ymca eh.
Tia!😃

[michi247]

@girlcrush - may marereceive ba ko na confirmation sa email pag nagbook online? Natry niyo na yung Little Big Club?

Natakot naman ko sa mga kwento about JB and KL. Gusto ko nga kumuha ng tour sa KL para hindi na lang magcommute kaso namamahalan naman ko sa RM350 na city tour. Plan pa naman namin lakarin na lang from hotel yung Petronas.

[msals2007]

Napaisip tuloy ako bigla kung tutuloy kami ng Malaysia. Para tuloy ayaw na lang namin.

Can you recommend pala what attractions sa sentosa and uss for someone na mahiluhin at hindi mahilig sa rides. For sentosa were thinking of watching songs of the sea, then mag cable car siguro. ano pa kaya? How bout sa USS. Yung transformer ride okay lang ba yun? Then yung mga parks na like gardens by the bay, jurong bird park siguro

[ficklemind]

^ Ok naman sa KL mga sis, twice na ako namasyal dun, good naman, although of course dapat alert and maingat parang kung pano tayo magingat sa Manila 

as for JB, ewan ko lang hinde pa talaga ako nakapasyal sa JB and no plans at all, nadadaanan ko lang everytime punta KL or Legoland. Hinde nga kasi maganda kwento about JB dito sa SG eh. I remember pa my landlady before nung bago pa ako dito sa SG, ang description niya sa KL is parang Quiapo daw pero lagi siyang nasa mall dun sa JB mura daw kasi dun lol
Ay meron pala akong experience sa JB, bus ride from JB Sentral to Larkin, hays grabe kala ko talaga katapusan ko na or praning lang talaga ako dahil sa mga kwento

@ burberi, what train station are your referring to? Trains in KL? or yung train sa JB going to KL?

@ msals2007 - try mo Luge sa Sentosa, super fun sya (for us)

[burberi]

^Sis, yung train station from JB going to KL (yung overnight sleeper train). Malayo ba yun from the bus stop kung saan kami ibaba ng bus coming from Singapore?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ sis, ayaw mo na bus na lang straight from SG to KL? twice or thrice ko na na-try and ok naman. nare-recline ang seats and comfy naman.

[scents01]

Ive been to malaysia, jb and kl, so far so good. Take precautionary measures lang, same as here in Manila. Madami din akong bad stories na naririnig from my SG friends, pinoys and singaporeans, pero napansin ko lang, syempre kasi sanay sila sa SG na kahit nakabukas yung bag or iwan sa table, walang kukuha. And sanay sila sa minimal lang sa crime rate, sa higpit ba naman ng batas sa kanila.

And warning din ng mga Singaporeans sa akin when exiting to Malaysia, always check the immigration stamp coz before daw minsan "sinasadya" na hindi tatakan passport upon entry tapos kakasuhan ng illegal entry pag exit. Uso din daw bribery sa Malaysia.

[burberi]

^^wala kasi overnight na travel yung mga bus sis. eh sayang kasi oras kaya mag-overnight nalang kami sa train. tipid pa sa hotel hehe.

[GirlCrush]

^^Not just in MY but also in Indonesia... Lalo na pag naamoy nila na umexit ka lang, naku expect na peperahan ka talaga nila.. I'd say mas safe pa kahit papano sa Manila, sa atin naman kasi may respeto sa babae and bata, sa MY kasi no considerations ang mga loko doon And I would like to correct you na meron rin pickpocket dito. May mga nakawan rin but not as rampant as compared to JB kasi naman dito kalat rin ang security cameras... Recently lang meron kidnapping incident dito. Madami na rin ang loko dito but at least mabilis ang justice system dito

michi247, Little big Club's okay for toddlers. Meron confirmation email. Mabilis naman sila sumagot... Ang mahal nung 350RM ha

[michi247]

^thanks sis, kunin ko na lang yung package ng legoland + little big club. 

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^wala kasi overnight na travel yung mga bus sis. eh sayang kasi oras kaya mag-overnight nalang kami sa train. tipid pa sa hotel hehe.

Meron overnight sis. Yung sinakyan namin bus before, left SG at 11pm, meron din 10pm and midnight. Travel time from SG was about 6hrs (or was it 7hrs, forgot exact duration) so tulog kami for most of the trip. We left SG Friday night, madaling-araw ng Saturday dating sa KL. Pabalik ng Sunday night, ganun din, late alis ng KL, madaling araw ng Monday dating sa SG.

[msals2007]

When you arrived at KL ng madaling araw, anong unang pinuntahan ninyo? Open na ba mga establishments nun?
