^I think they have lockers but not sure kung pwede mag fit ang luggage.

[chinablue]

thank you sis toria sa input. yung rucksack inn na yun is in mackenzie road at may ensuite bathroom daw sila but hesitant ako kasi they require me to send thru email front and back copy of my debit card for reservation. i might go na lang with sea hotel tutal whole day naman kami nasa galaan, hehe.

by the way, 4 days lang kami sa sg. yung 4th day is early flight in the morning kaya considered as 3 full days lang talaga. more on sightseeing lang kasi hindi naman kami mahilig magshopping ng mudra ko. yung 1st day namin eh manggagaling kami sa malaysia. plan ko is walking tour sa marina bay area and merlion ng 1st day pero sa hapon pa kasi nabasa ko mas maganda daw sa hapon ito gawin. mahilig ang mama ko sa mga gardens so baka maggardens by the bay kami ng morning. keri lang ba ito mga sis? hindi ba magulo itinerary ko ng 1st day?

2nd day naman is ikot ikot sa sentosa in the morning tapos uss day. non negotiable ang 2nd day kasi ibirthday ko yun and i wanna spend it sa uss. friday yung 2nd day. mga sis, marami bang tao sa uss pag friday? plan ko whole day kami sa uss. after uss, ano pa pwede gawin? yung wings of time, worth watching ba? or better magfood trip na lang kami?

3rd day is sea aquarium in the morning tapos chinatown, sri mariamman temple, buddha tooth relic sa hapon until early evening para mas maappreciate ang colorful lights ng chinatown. mga sis, must visit ba ang sea aquarium or pareho lang siya ng ocean park sa manila? if magsingapore zoo ba kami in the morning instead, kaya naman ba if half day lang? kung may namiss pa kong must visit places sa singapore, please tell me mga sis. salamat in advance.

[Heatherette]

^maganda sa hapon to gabi yung maglakad sa Marina Bay kaso maganda din sa hapon to gabi ang Gardens by the Bay. May light show sila dun

2nd day - why not unahin mo to then Sentosa after? Mahirap sa hapon ka magsisimula sa USS. Kalaban mo pila haha

[chinablue]

^thanks sis. sige unahin na namin uss. actually ang plan ko lang naman sa uss eh yung shrek saka transformers saka papic sa characters. takot ako sa mga rollercoasters eh hehe yung mga pambatang rides at shows lang talaga ang trip ko

[toria]

@chinablue Sis you can also try Agoda if you really want to get rucksack inn. Check with them if okay lang to book via Agoda since you are not
comfortable sending your debit card's photo.

First day is okay Gardens By the Bay ng morning, lunch around Marina Bay, walk from Marina Bay -> Helix Bridge -> Esplanade -> Merlion Park.
Medyo nakakapagod na lakad yan sis ha. Sa gardens by the bay palang pagod ka na maglakad. Hehe.

Tama si Heatherette, better na unahin nyo si USS kasi mainit na ng bandang tanghali at nakakaubos talaga sya ng lakas.
Mas manageable padin ang dami ng tao pag Friday compared to Sat/Sun. For me you can skip Wings of Time.

Okay sa Sea Aquarium kasi malamig so medyo chill magikot pero nakakahilo ang mga salamin ng aquarium, haven't been to Manila Ocean Park.
If you want to go to Singapore Zoo, I suggest one whole day dito kasi medyo malayo sya ang mauubos oras mo din sa pagikot.

[chinablue]

^many thanks sis toria sa matiyagang pagsagot sa mga tanong ko.

[toria]

^No problem, enjoy Singapore

[chinablue]

^thanks sis.

by the way, any sis here who have tried na the advance purchase 5% off best available rate ng strand hotel? i'm tempted kaso need daw bayaran the full amount of hotel stay. kasama ba talaga dun ang breakfast? hehe. at wala na talaga need bayaran upon check-in?

lapit na trip namin. need to finalize na the details. thanks sa lahat ng sis dito na matiyagang sumasagot sa mga queries.

[Heatherette]

^Is this Agoda or similar booking site? If yes, babayaran mo na talaga yung full amount unless meron sila yung pay later. Ganun kasi sa amin kasi tagal kami nag-book so yung payment matagal din. May kasamang breakfast pero di siya yung sobrang daming choices. Sa 5-day stay namin eto meron:

Meron silang unlimited bread, fruits and pancit haha

Day 1: 2 pcs bacon
Day 2: 2 pcs sausages

Alternate yan sila.

[chinablue]

^sa mismong website ng strand hotel sis. Parang early bird promo nila pero need to pay the whole price of hotel stay na. Hindi ba bothersome ang noise from the ongoing construction? I'm considering Strand hotel kasi dahil sa location.

[Heatherette]

^During our stay wala kami naririnig na ingay Except yung maiingay sa hallway pero bihira lang din.

Hi Sisses!
I want to ask tips about Singapore trip. I read reviews, DIY tours, and back reading here sa GT as well. Here is my 5day itinerary. please help me if correct yung activities in a day. And the allotted time per activity. First time ko with husband and 9yo Daughter.

4PM-5PM Marina Bay sands
5-8PM Gardens by the Bay
8-9PM dinner
9PM – travel to hotel
(any suggestions for a place to visit before going back to hotel)
(And enough na ba yung 1 hour for each site: merlion, helix bridge, MBS?)

10AM – USS
7PM – exit USS, dinner

630PM flight to manila via CebuPac

I don't know if we should visit SEA Aquarium or just visit Orchard and Little India before our departure. We love Animals kaya we wanted to visit SEA Aquarium sana but if we choose that, wala na time for shopping or check other place.
Another option maybe is to remove LEGOLAND Malaysia. But since we have our 9yo kid, nasa priority din naming yung LEGOLAND.

[chinablue]

^^thanks sis heatherette. I booked strand hotel na.

[Heatherette]

^^

Day 1 - yes enough na. Although ha, mas na-appreciate ko Merlion Park, Helix bridge and MBS sa gabi. Yung gabi nila nasa 8PM pa haha Maganda kasi lights nila especially Helix bridge.

Day 4 - hectic for me. Kami more than half day nasa SG Zoo. Malaki kasi siya ikutin.

Day 5 - ayaw niyo si Trick Eye after ng USS? Kung open pa? Since andun na rin yun? Maliit lang siya. Mauubos ka lang sa kaka-picture pero nakaya namin ng 2 hours to.

Nag-enjoy kami sa Legoland. Kung makakabalik, babalik ulit kami dun haha

^Welcome sis

[forumera]

Hello mga sis, may iba pa ba naka experience ng RedBus.sg bukod kay sis @heatherette?

Worried kasi ako e, ako kasi pasimuno nito kasi mura 530 pesos roundtrip sg-legoland na. Kapag ito scam, cancel or whatever lagot ako sa mother in law, sis in law and bilas ko.

Nagbook ako March, til now kami pa lang rin ang passengers ng bus, no one else. Worried ako baka pagdating namin sa location, no bus, or cancel kasi nga kami lang panssengers.

Huhuhu

Isa pa na kinakaworry ko, yung Legoland tickets namin, sabi ng ka-email ko from Legoland, ni-manual booking niya e paano naman ako nakakasiguro nun di ba. Sa park na daw ang bayad. So kung hindi totoo na na manual booking niya, we will pay the regular rate(mas mahal than the supposed price na manual booking coz of promo) or worst maubusan kami tickets, nangyayari ba yun sa Legoland? I think sa USS nangyayari ata, parang may nabasa ako.

Siguro I just need more reviews of redbus.sg to keep me calm. 😞

[chicafabulosa]

Hi sis question, anyone here tried airbnb in orchard area? Marami kasi kame this travel, around 8 kame so we are thinking of trying airbnb.

And also, hows the train going to JB from woodlands? Any idea how much yung fare now? Is it easier than taking taxi?

TIA

[Heatherette]

^^Why would they cancel if you paid for the tickets? Kasi kami nga pauwi 3 lang kaming passengers sa bus nun. Yung papunta naman nasa 7-8 lang kami.

If you're worried na di legit si Redbus (kahit ako nakasakay na) hanap ka nalang ng iba para less stress and worry on your part. Mahirap na di pa kayo umaalis nagwo-worry ka na ng worst case scenarios.

^Check gothere.sg for estimate fare rates.

[chicafabulosa]

Thanks sis

[forumera]

Sis @heatherette nakakaparanoid lang kasi e. Sana hindi ma cancel due to less passengers. So yun

[ficklemind]

@ chicafabulosa there is no train to JB from woodlands.
either you take bus, taxi (need advance booking ata) or private car (check some car rentals services).
where in JB ang punta nyo?
