Singapore (Thread 24)

[yapeegurl]

^I heard nga sis na iba ang plane na gamit nila ngayon. Baka ito yung meron flight to dubai? Layover nila ang SG? Sometimes ok kasi sa cebupac dahil sa piso fare and kung ito ang pinaka mura sa lahat ng airline ok din naman specially if solo traveller ka. Na-trauma lang siguro ako hahaha

[minnie99]

Thanks mga sis. Habol ko kasi sana sa Tiger yung flight schedule. Gitna kasi ng araw yung scheds ng Jetstar. Sulitin ko sana yung 2 extra days imbis na 2 halfdays na free.

Once rode CEB roundtrip to SG. Thank God yung worst experience ko na ay delays. Pero I would prefer not to ride CebuPac dahil sa horror stories sa news (yung incident sa Davao airport ba yun, hehe).

[kayesl]

Hi po. I will be travelling alone to SG on Sept 17-21. First time to solo travel. peak season po ba yun? Kailangan ko bang bumili ng express pass for USS? I've read na safe for solo travelers ang SG, how safe? parang manila ba? hehe Thanks so much po 

kung mag-isa ka lang, ok lang di ka na mag-express pass. kasi may solo rider lane din yung popular rides. nasa unahan ka na kagad ng pila. pampuno nila yun sa mga bungi bungi eh. hehe. one time nga 4 kami pero sa single rider lahat pumila. pagdating sa unahan kunwari di magkakakilala, nagkasabay sabay din kami sa isang ride. hehe.

SG is safe for solo travelers. no need to worry much. syempre, ingat pa din pero di naman praning/paranoid mode.

[kayesl]

yung uwi namin last week to Pinas, CebuPac kami both flights. sa pauwi ng pinas nataon kami sa 777. ang laki! nakakatuwa kasi ang daming cr. di mo kailangan mag-intay ng matagal.
so far, aside from a few mins delays, wala pa naman kami horror story sa cebupac. swerte lang

[junepets]

booked din sa Cebu Pac on November..

hotel hunting naman kami ngayon..
san ba mga sis okay magstay and budget friendly..
will be there thurs-monday

[minnie99]

^If traveling with friends, okay ang mga hostel (dorm-type). I tried Five Stones last year, it was very nice and clean.

[narsmitz]

waaa.. thanks mga sis. lumalakas tuloy loob ko to do solo travel in SG. hahaha.. another question. How much ang budget if i wanted to enjoy most of sg. tipid pero sulit. planning to stay in mix bedrooms na lang para budget friendly. This will be my first trip using my own money saved from working abroad. yipeee. thanks mga sis.

[entwife]

I stayed in Chinatown, malapit kasi siya sa other tourist spots like clarke quay tapos yung chinatown mismo maaaliw ka na sa dami ng stalls. Rates were around 800-1k per night. I stayed in Beary Best Hostel nung 2nd night ko,. Breakfast is free na. Cereal, coffee and toast.

Nung third night nagstay kami ng friends ko na mineet ko sa Kallang. Cheaper at 700 pero malayo naman.

[minnie99]

I stayed naman at FiveStones, walking distance from Central Mall(?) na may MRT station. Also, may bus stop right in front of the hotel, pwedeng sumakay agad ng bus to ViVo City/USS/Sentosa! Super convenient. Hehe.

Budget ko was 12k (inclusive of hotel na) and here's what I was able to do: USS (discounted ticket), SEA Aquarium, Sentosa, Marina Bay Sands Skypark, Mustafa (visit lang, hehe, bought a few items). I think that's it, may sukli pa yang 12k ko siguro. Also walked to Esplanade, but wasn't able to see Gardens by the Bay (this is free ata). I think I only spent 300 USD in SG, but that's because yung ibang expenses, friends ko na nagbayad (mas maganda kasi trabaho nila, haha).

Would have loved to visit River Safari/Singapore Zoo though, kaso malayo na ito at hindi sulit sa time pag bus (which would have been the cheapest way). Sa Chinatown may temples din pero di ko na napuntahan.

[tweetyai]

mga sis san ok mag dinner sa clarke quay?

[xtine]

^Hi sis, if its an intimate dinner, it would have to be on Jumbo Restaurant as clarke quay restaurants are maingay kasi bars sila.  Also don't expect a budget dinner unless its on the kopitiam of Liang Court, Clarke quay is very expensive place for a dinner / gimmick.

Hi sis, Sakto ka sa Singapore F1 (19-21), peak season, madami tourists nyan, you may want to start looking for hotels now, also baka madami tao sa USS pero solo ka naman sa single rider ka na pumila 

[ficklemind]

sali lang ako sa usapan re Cebu Pacific
mga sis, i dont think meron boeing 777 ang Cebu Pacific maybe u are referring to Airbus A330 yung mga bago nilang plane.  wala kasing boeing ang Cebu Pac on their fleet AFAIK.

if you want the A330 plane to SG, take 5J813 MNL to SIN this is their earliest flight to SG then 5j814 going back to Manila, 1030am to.

oops, hinde po ako nagwowork sa Cebu Pac, medyo mahilig lang ako sa airplanes at kakatingin everyday ng mga flights. Lol

i always take the 5J813 yung 5am nila going to SG para pwede diretso work at 9am, sagad lagi bakasyon sa Pinas  haha

[kayesl]

^ ay oo nga sis, A330, tama ka
thanks for letting us know the cebupac flight number for the A330. if ever uuwi ulit kami, eto siguro ulit kunin namin.  ang haba lang ng pila for boarding at ang aga ng boarding time (syempre madami iche-check eh) pero yung plane ride at plane mismo ok naman sya. 
wow sis 5am flight tapos 9am na start ng work. buzzer beater. di pede ma-delay ang eroplano at male-late ka 

[rocky]

^^sis, 5:40am flight namin bale 3 hilera sya & 9 bawat row gaya nito. ganito rin kasi minsan nasasakyan ko pa-cebu sa PAL, ang difference lang may monitor yong mga chair sa cebu pac wala

[ficklemind]

^ Hi sis,  yes Airbus A330 has 3 rows - 9 seats. eto yung mga bago nilang plane, PAL din has A330 going to SG.
but Cebu Pac as of now has no Boeing plane. PAL have both Boeing and Airbus.

^^ yes sis,   unproductive nga lang sa work sa antok at pagod haha
even sa other airlines yung earliest flight ako para diretso work. may basbas naman ng boss haha, they are so nice lagi, imbes na pagsabihan ako to take a flight the day before para makapagrest, pinapauwi pa nila ako maaga para magrest haha.
sa Tampines lang naman office ko and uso [textspeak!] ganung setup dala ang maleta ☺ , work then diretso airport or airport diretso office, puro kasi kami foreigner.

[rocky]

^i see airbus pa rin pala sya

[jhaynee]

[xtine]

^Singapore is such a small place, you can actually tour the whole place for less than a day (if tour only and no other activities)
