Singapore (Thread 23)

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ if tama pagkaalala ko, we had breakfast sa McDo yata yun then punta na kami Genting Highlands (sa KL Sentral yung sakayan nung bus pa-Genting so dun na din kami naligo, me pay shower naman).

Sa Golden Mile sa SG kami sumakay ng bus pa-KL. Nasa 20-25pax lang per bus. Mala la-z-boy ang seats so comfy and maluwag naman.

[burberi]

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.

Really sis? May I know what bus company? Check ko para di na kami daan ng JB kasi hassle rin. Thank you!

Safe naman mga sisses mag-bus right? Mas reco nyo ba bus kesa train?

Question lang mga sis, we're planning to go to Legoland. From Singapore san kame sasakay ng bus to lego land? and also san ba pwede bumili ng entrance ticket? TIA!

[GirlCrush]

^You can buy tickets online for Legoland. For bus naman, I suggest you get from travel agency like WTS. Their meet up and drop off point is just at Singapore Flyer...

If tama naalala ko, Transtar or Starmart buses. Meron din Singapore to Malaysia thread dito sa GT, check it out, baka me other info doon.

mga sis may alam ba kayong malinis na hotel na nasa 5 to 7k lang per night? malapit sana sa malls..

[ilovetigger]

Guys! Can you please check my IT for our 2N/3D Singapore trip and let me know if feasible. There will be four of us, me and bf and my parents.

Day 1: Arrival 9:05 AM

Leave bags at hotel
Go to church at 1030 or 1130am
Lunch
Singapore Zoo
Merlion Park
Lights and Sounds?

Day 2:

USS (me and bf)
Sentos cable car ( all of us)
Gardens by the Bay and Casino (parents)

Day 3: Departure is at 540PM

Botanic Garden
Chinatown? Mall?
Souvenir Shopping

Jampacked ba masyado? Let me know what to remove or add sa mga pupuntahan pero non-negotiable ang ZOO. Hehe.

[xtine]

^Sorry sis, but your singapore zoo must be whole day.  Otherwise, the S$28 is not worth it. 

Try to have the Singapore zoo the whole day on your first day.  Then on your 2nd day, whole day USS (plus Sentosa, songs of the sea)

Third day is Marina bay sands, gardens by the bay and chinatown.  Then if you think you still have enough energy, you can hit Orchard or botanical garden.

Guys ask ko lang regarding sa GST, bumili ako ng rubber shoes sa queensway at binigyan ako ng resibo para ma-claim ang tax, bukod sa resibo, need ko pa ba ipakita yung box ng shoes ko or yung mismong sapatos lang?
 
About naman sa customs sa naia terminal 3, mahigpit ba sila? Kasi binilhan ako ng ipad ng wife ko, inaalala ko lang kasi baka masita ako. First time ko lang kasi sa terminal 3 usually sa naia1 ako eh hindi naman mahigpit dun.

Salamat mga sis

we are thinking of buying the either 3-in-1 park hopper or the 2-in-1 park hopper. Singapore, jurong bird park then were thinking pa if isama namin river safari. Okay bang puntahan lahat yun in 1 day lang? Recommended ba ang river safari? or you think okay na yung zoo and bird park na lang kami for a day.

Other sites that we want to visit is Sentosa, USS, Marina Bay, Gardens by the bay, photo op sa Merlion. Yung botanical garden saka na lang siguro sa last day if may time pa. KAya ba lahat ng 3 days? Kasi on the 4th day we'll be going to KL na. Pero sa 5th day back to Singapore uli baka shopping shopping na lang yun kasi flight na rin namin ng gabi nun.

Recommended ba to buy the all day pass sa Sentosa and USS? We only have 1 day to visit both.

[xtine]

^Sis, I suggest you just select one of the parks.  River safari is quite new kaya I think this should the best so far.  Among Bird park, zoo and night safari, the best ang Bird park, even my friends here in SG says so. 

For sentosa and USS, if you're going to get USS, then you won't have enough time to explore sentosa so I recommend that you don't get the all day pass sa Sentosa since almost whole day ka sa USS.

I also don't think you can do USS, Marina Bay, Gardens by the bay and Sentosa all in one day.  USS and Sentosa lang ang magagawa nyo as you may also waste time  especially kung hahanapin nyo pa ang lugar. 

3rd day, that's where you squeeze Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the bay and esplanade as these three are walking distance from each other.  If you still have enough energy, hit Orchard Rd. 

On your last day, I suggest you just go to chinatown. 

[msals2007]

Thanks sis xtine for the recommendation. Hindi ba masyadong mahaba pa din ang pila for the river safari? Yun kasi yung mga nababasa kong feedbacks. Sige i think will just visit river safari and bird park for one day. Then will just buy yung mga 3 or 4 attractions sa Sentosa and USS. Hindi rin naman kami mahilig sa rides so pipili na lang kami. I'll follow your suggestion sis. Yung gardens by the bay talagang gusto kong puntahan yun kasi magaganda feedbacks and ang gaganda ng photos na nakikita ko.

Anong magandang gawin for half day lang? Kasi around 9 am yung dating namin dun. We'll drop our luggage first dun sa kilala ng friend namin, then lunch. So after lunch na kami makakagala nun til night time. Anong mga attractions ang pwedeng isqueeze puntahan for that period? Yung night safari parang hindi ko type so i think will just skip that.

[xtine]

^Mahaba ang pila but you can buy your ticket online.  Or better yet, arrive around 8AM para di pa gaano maraming tao.

Where does your friend live?  If they live near the city, you can start by botanical garden or chinatown.  But if your friend lives somewhere north (Yishun, woodlands), east (tampines), west (Joo koon or jurong), allot around 1 hour travel time and drop off of bag. 

you can hit Gardens by the bay, Merlion and MBS on the day you arrive.

[msals2007]

Thanks so much for all the information sis xtine. Will definitely follow your recommendations.
