Re: Singapore (Thread 26)

[engroselle]

thanks sis! :-)

worst case na hindi po ako makabili ng SIM sa airport, may free wifi po sa airport? makontak ko kaya sya sa whatsapp? para po syang Viber, tama?

tia!

[bratty]

^Hi Sis,

Makikisagot, yes may wifi sa Changi pero ipa-roaming mo muna ang Philippine simcard mo kasi may registration process pa at isesend ang activation code sa number mo.

As mentioned by another sis, marami payphone sa airport pero yung mga free local calls ay nasa loob, meaning before immigration. Sa immigration area din maraming phones na free ang local calls. Meron din mga PC na pwede gamitin for free, nagkalat sila sa airport.

Madami naman nagbebenta ng sim card sa airport, di nyo ma-miss out yun.

Day 3

Umuulan sa SG and Johor Bahru

We went to Legoland today. We bought our tickets at Redbus. Less than 2 hrs ang byahe kasi walang traffic pero ayun nga umuulan. Nawawala din siya tapos mainit ulit tapos uulan nanaman x10 haha

We had fun at Legoland! Akala namin nung una walang magagawa pero ang swerte kasi namin na wala masyadong tao so nakakailang ulit kami ng mga rides. Di na kami pinapababa. Plus, the staffs are all so nice!!!

After namin mag-Legoland, nag-Mustafa Centre kami at namili kami ng maraming chocolates na wala sa atin haha

Sis forumera, may mga rides naman mae-enjoy ang bata sa USS pero majority kasi leaning towards adults.

[chinablue]

Hi mga sis. Anyone na nakapagstay na sa Hotel 81 Orchid? I'm considering it kasi may available na private room with own bathroom. Okay lang naman sa akin maski maliit kasi tutulugan lang naman. Ang major concern ko lang is kung safe ba ang place kasi sa Geylang area daw ito na red light district sa SG.

Another question, this is my first time to book through booking.com. I don't have a credit card but I have a BDO Mastercard debit card which I used to reserve my booking. It worked naman. Is it safe? Paano ang payment pag ganito? Do I need to have a downpayment before I go to the hotel or sa mismong stay na ko magbabayad? And recognized naman ba siya ng hotel? I'm torn between booking through the hotel directly or through booking.com kaso pag sa hotel nagbook directly, need daw pay ng whole amount. Hope you can enlighten me mga sis. Thanks in advance. Sorry po wala time magbackread medyo busy po sa work. Salamat ulit.

Day 4

We went to Sentosa today kaso sobrang maulan kaya di kami nakapag-ikot. Nag-Luge kami 2x and once na Skyline. Super nag-enjoy kami sa rides na yan. Dapat 2x din si Skyline kaso maulan talaga. Bumaba na kami para sa Trick Eye Museum. It was fun kaso sobrang bilis lang tapusin kasi konti lang meron.

After Sentosa, we went to Vivo City. Ikot ikot kami dun then nagpunta na kami Gardens by the Bay. Hay ang ganda sobra nung 2 Conservatories at ang perfect dahil malamig haha ang ganda din nung Garden Symphony nila. Do not miss this

[forumera]

^@Heatherette sis how's KLOOK? Hassle free naman?

[ataypool]

Re the free wifi sa airport, it was useless for me kasi ang tagal ipadala ng activation code or I didn't get it at all. I used my mobile data roaming for the convenience.

[Heatherette]

^^Some Klook tickets need to be printed and some others need to be exchanged at the ticketing counter. Read the fine print para alam kung saan ipapapalit.

Day 5 (yesterday)

We went to Ikea Alexandra. Ang sarap nung Swedish meatballs and chicken wings! Nag-ikot ikot kami sa loob tapos may nabili ako ng konti.

We went to the aiport after that para maikot din kaso late nag-open ang check-in counter so di rin namin masyado naikot Changi Terminal 2.

Maaraw pala kanina

[engroselle]

hi!
finally paid yung tutulugan namin sa SG. this is it na! haha!
i asked our host kung may wifi sa condo nya. wala pa reply. if wala kasi, i plan to rent a pocket wifi sa airport. yun kasi ginawa namin nun sa Japan. kasi namin nakaka-windang train system dun. haha!
malakas po ba signal sa SG? kasi baka masayang. kasi kung wala syang wifi sa condo, mas makakatipid if magrent na lang ako kesa ipa-roaming ko SIM ko. sa condo kasi, maiinip mga kids. syempre internet lagi hahanapin nun. hehe

dami lights shows! haha! ano ba uunahin? meron sa MBS, preferred ko yung light show kesa sa water, tapos meron din sa GBTB... saan po ba maganda pumwesto para kita namin yung parehong shows? magkalapit din kasi yung time,e...
tia!

p.s.
we if go to USS thru the Boardwalk, paano po kami lalabas? ano po pwede sakyan and how much?
if i remember right, if monorail papasok, libre na palabas thru monorail din?...

[Heatherette]

^Yung sa MBS natatanaw lang namin from Esplanade or Merlion. Parang ok lang siya pero yung sa GBTB panuorin niyo sis! Ang ganda!

[engroselle]

^sis, may nabasa ako na nkahiga sila sa ilalim ng super grove trees habang nagaganap yung lights show... possible ba un? pwede talaga humiga? 😄parang exciting lang. haha!

[Heatherette]

^Yes sis kasi around the tree may pwede ka upuan. Malaki na space yun so pwede mo din higaan. Ganun ginawa namin pero di lang kami humiga hehe

[ficklemind]

@engroselle
Once inside Sentosa, free na ang monorail, wala ng ticket na needed if gusto nyo sumakay.
If boardwalk kayo pumasok, you can take the monorail palabas or to any other stations.

[forumera]

^very very informative. Thank you sis!
By the way, saan ka nagpapalit ng Sgd, here or sa SG? Nagaaccept ba Cebu Air ng credit card?

[Heatherette]

^You can PM Cebu Air and Travel sa FB nila if they accept CC. SGD kasi pinangbayad namin

Dito na kami nagpapalit sis.

If you're planning on visiting Legoland, nire-recommend ko yung Redbus. Sa Golden Mile Complex yung pickup and drop off point. SGD14-SGD15 lang RT na Nakakatuwa pa kasi Friday kami nag-Legoland so kasama lang namin 4 sa bus. So mabilis kami sa immigration and travel time. Took less than 2 hrs kasi wala pang traffic. Pag-uwi ganun din kasi yung family na kasama namin bukas pa ang uwi so 3 lang kami ng mga kasama ko sa isang malaking bus.
