Singapore (Thread 27)

[ficklemind]

^ try gothere.sg
sikat pa din ba ang app na yan or may bago na? sorry but almost 2 years na din since i left Singapore baka hinde na ako updated.

based sa gothere, there is no direct bus IMM to/from Nigh Safari, 2 or 1 transfers but it will take like 73mins!
Fastest route is train+bus, Jurong East stn to Chua Chu Kang Stn + Bus to Night Safari , 1 hr din aabutin.
Nasa liblib kasi talaga si Night Safari, malayo sa kabihasnan 

take note lang sis hinde malapit yung IMM mall sa Jurong East stn. around 500m walk, may free shuttle sila.
There's another mall mismo sa Jurong East stn, Westgate ata, ok din dito, madaming shops ng international brands ex: H&M and kainan.
Dun sa mall kasi sa CCK parang mga local shops lang.
sa IMM kasi mga outlets like Coach.

^ Thank you sis! That's what I also used! Pero I actually found better routes than the recommended lol!
It's funny like sa experience ko yung suggestion ng gothere.sg is to walk 500 meters to the closest station, when there's actually a bus stop in front of our hotel, and 3 stops later Orchard station na hahaha mga 5 mins lang. Eh ayoko naman maglakad sa init and tamad din...plus unli card so... Thank you for the specifics, I appreciate it! Kaloka baka same yung mistake namin like naglakad kami from Snow City to nearest metro... I found it far under the sweltering heat.. the local said, "Do you want to get there faster, or you want the easy way?"  The faster way is to walk 10 minutes, easier way is to wait 10 mins for the bus, and another 10-15 mins to get to the metro. pff

darn, I might need to convince my friends to skip Night Safari haha

Wala lang, I just don't think Night safari is worth doing twice in my opinion, medyo overhyped... or baka di ko lang talaga bet yung mga zoo and animals... and amoy poop hahahaa and unless you have an amazing camera that can shoot amazing pictures in low light without flash photography, you can't take pics with the animals. They will scold you and stop your tram if you use flash.. even possibly escorting you off the tram..

Nung magpunta kayo sa Sentosa mga sis, operational na ba yung bungee jump doon?

[minatay91]

^ hindi po. I actually didn't see an option for bungee jumping that time?

Baka bago yun? I just saw ziplining before

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

Wala pa nung nagpunta ako.

[nerddict]

^ang alam ko po is new attraction sya sa Sentosa sana mag-open na. Thanks mga sis!

Hello mga sissy,

Patulong naman sa itinerary namin,  10 pax kami (5 adults,  3 seniors,  2 kids (3 & 11 y/o).  Arrival in sg on May 13 at 2am, bale separate flight kami kasi magkaiba kami ng airlines,  half of the group (3 adults + 2 seniors)  is on cebu pacific arriving in terminal 4 while the other half (2 adults, 2 kids & 1 senior)  is on jetstar flight arriving in terminal 1. Question : Paano kami magkikita sa sg if magkaiba terminal kami?  24 hours ba ang transfer bus sa airport?
Plan namin is to wait until 6am para open na ang mrt, where can we stay sa airport?  Saka advisable ba na magtaxi kami going to hotel considering na big group kami?  We booked a hotel in geylang kaso check in is 2pm pa so baka iwanan na lang namin luggage then start na sa itinerary namin as follows :

Day 1 (may 13):
8am-2pm - Singapore zoo
3pm - 5 pm - merlion park/marina bay
6pm - 9pm - gardens by the bay

Day 2 (Monday)
8am-6pm = Universal Studios
6pm - 9pm = sentosa island
9pm - 12pm = Mustafa or Bugis night market

Day 3 (Tuesday)
8am - 2pm = Malaysia tour
(Hindi na kami papasok ng legoland, plan namin is magpapicture lang sa legoland,  hello kity entrance and umikot sa mga outlet shops sa johor bahru.  Wala pa kami detailed itinerary dito,  and ok ba if we avail yun private car transfer sa klook na diy tour na 12 hours? Around 10k rate ng transfer or meron mas mura pa don?  Ang pinaka purpose lang namin sa malaysia is matatakan passports namin hehe.
3pm - 5pm = Chinatown / little india
5pm - 7pm = Marina Bay skypark (worth it ba pumunta dito?  If we avail sa klook meron kasama na open top bus tour,  kelan namin pwede gamitin at saan ang route nito?)
7pm - 9pm = orchard road 
9 pm = back to hotel
10:30 pm = half of the group (3 adults + 2 seniors)  head to airport for the 3am flight back to Manila

Day 4 (Wednesday)
Ano po maganda gawin with the kids before the 5 pm flight to Manila ?

Additional questions :
1) Ano mas ok kuhanin,  ez-link card or yun unlimited tourist pass?  Yun daughter ko na 3 years old ikukuha na ba sya ng card?
2) Mas makakatipid ba kami if mag uber or taxi kami,  ilan maximum passengers sa regular taxi? Meron ba kasya kami na 10 pax?
3) Saan po recommended na mura at masarap na kainan?
4) Saan po mura bumili ng pasalubong (keychains,  ref magnets,  tshirts mga ganon items?  Ano po food aside sa chocolate na pwede ipasalubong sa pinas?
4) Sa johor bahru ano po mga tourist spot na pwede namin pasyalan? Saan pwede bumili ng mga murang pasalubong? Saan kami magpapalit ng ringgit or accept na sa johor ang sg dollar?
5) How much kaya sg dollar na ipapalit namin for food,transpo at pasalubong?  Kasya na ba 10k per pax?  We plan to book all tickets sa klook.

Sana po matulungan nyo kami to plan our sg trip, excited na kami.
Thanks po.

^ may airport trains (they call it Skytrain) that connects the terminals 1,2&3
almost 24hrs ang operation nito. Nagcclose around 2am to 5am for maintenance, during this time,  may shuttle bus to operate in replacement of the trains.
the train and the shuttle bus are free to use.
Terminal 4 hinde pa connected sa Sky train but there is shuttle (also free) that operates 24hrs, the shuttle connects terminal 4 to terminal 2.

eto muna sis, later ko basahim the rest of your post, haba kasi hehe

[althea_ge]

^^ Sis parang ako napagod pagkabasa sa ITI mo .
Day 1 pa lang , arrival is 2AM, for sure di naman kayo makakatulog sa airport nito.tapos 8AM going to Singapore zoo na, then hanggang 9pm sa ITI nyo.
sa Singapore zoo pa lang puro lakad na yan, tapos malayo rin lakarin sa Gardens by the bay kung explore nyo until sa light tree show.
I know some hotels allows early check-in, but you have to pay extra, and if may available room na.
Pero worth it naman if makapag rest kayo , naisip ko lang din kasi may senior and kids na kasama.

[beng052177]

Sis althea,  do you think drop na namin Singapore zoo sa first day? Worth it ba if miss namin ang zoo?   I'll try to coordinate with the hotel if pwede early check in then rest muna kami then start na iti after lunch.

anong month ok pumunta sa singapore yun hindi masyado mainit?

natanong ko rin yan sa mga friends ko na dun nagwowork, lagi raw mainit

[ficklemind]

^ Ganun din sagot ko, all year round naman mainit tapos uulan.

i have to agree with sis althea_ge about Day 1, parang ang labo nung Singapore Zoo sa umaga. I'm sure your group is tired from the flight, hinde naman makakapagpahinga mabuti sa airport kasi most likely nakaupo lang kau while waiting magumaga then sa umaga mga antok na then you have to settle your things pa sa hotel, kakain pa, papalit SGD.
Also, ang layo ng Singapore Zoo from the city.

Based lang sa experience ko w/ my visiting friends/relatives na dadating ng umaga ng SG, usually start ng gala is after makapgcheck-in na. take note also  na ang laki ng group niyo w/ kids and seniors.

Ang masusuggest ko ay out na Singapore Zoo ng Day 1 then tuloy lang yung plans nyo sa hapon na merlion park/marina bay, gardens by the bay, i-add nyo na din dito yung Marina Bay skypark (alisin sa Day 3). 

to follow yung ibang days at yung questions

[michi247]

@beng052177

Nakakapagod ang Singapore Zoo, whole day kami ng anak ko nung nagpunta sa Zoo. I suggest magbook na lang kayo ng hotel ng May 12 para makapagpahinga kayo. Naglate flight na rin kami, 12 AM na yata kami nakapagcheck-in sa hotel, as in pagod na pagod na kami nito, tulog agad tapos after several hours, nag River Safari na kami. Mas maliit kasi ito kaysa sa SG Zoo, Day 2 namin ang SG Zoo.

[Ma.Jewel_1987]

We will visit Singapore then Malaysia on October. Any suggestions for rooms around 1500 for 3 pax, merun ba?

[ficklemind]

^ tbh sis, mahihirapan ka makahanap ng hotels in that price, kahit hostels.

[Ma.Jewel_1987]

^yun nga sis naghahanap ako sa agoda. Anyway may employee rate naman ako sa Holiday Inn around 2500 so keri na yung rate na yun no? Baka lang kasi may cheaper options.
