Sure thing. Too bad I'm only gonna be there for a day (in November so its still a long way). I'll probably be taking the MRT for the whole day so I'll see how efficient it is compared to our LRT. I might also take a taxi and see whether they're as corrupt as ours.

You may as well test out and see if the sun rises from the east.
And I though you go there for a fruitful visit.

planning to go to s'pore on 22-25 oct, planning to stay in hostel, do i need to book early?

I also thought planning means making early arrangements and booking early, no?

you are surely gonna be disappointed with this one. their taxi driver will state in their lights a certain location if they are changing shift, else no matter where u wanna go, they have to take you not like in KL where u have to ask before you board the taxi. and all their taxi run on meter and i tested with 5 taxis before, all from my house to my company $8 only. mayb some get $7.80 if the traffic lights are green. personally i think KL taxis should really learn from them.

Any great sales on December 2010? If yes, how does this sales compared to GSS?

sure there will be haha.

actually i dont think GSS is really that great anyway... i mean i had seen sales that are as good as it for other periods.

Personally, I do not find GSS that great, mostly stocks for clearance kind.

I would rather go for Robinson/John Little sales, esp worth it for member.

Hi there...planning to go to SG on 24th December...staying in JB...
My question is...if I were to countdown for xmas in SG, is there any transport such as taxi or bus back to JB after 12am? or isit better for me to drive into SG?

No, there is Transtar TS8 that operates past midnight on Saturdays and Sundays, but since the 24th is a Friday, there are no public busses or trains operating cross-border after midnight.

whats the cheapest way to go spore from kl?
any operator going to casino on every friday night? or saturday morning?

How about taxis? Do they cross border after midnite?

You need to reserve an authorised taxi that can cross the border, but are you rich? It will be extremely expensive!

Haha...Im not rich...but will have about 3 ppl sharing...where do I go to reserve? Btw I read that the taxi stand at Queens St offers taxis to JB 24 hours a day...and cost about SG40 per car

No need reserve, just go to Queens St near Bugis Stn. Only need to reserve if you need them to pick you up. Price is SGD45. MRT should be operational past midnight on Christmas eve, so I think taking the MRT after your countdown is not a problem. Just give them a call to be certain on how they operate on festive occasions, maybe it will be different? Number is +65 62967054

If u come on that date, think u will stuck at JB and SG custom for few hours...

Okay...thanks for all the help and info...

I am planning to visit Singapore at the end of 2010.
My main agenda to Singapore is to visit the Universal Studios.
I am planning to stay there for 3 days 2 nights.

I seek your kind advice on:

1. The best travelling method from Malaysia (Kuala lumpur) - by bus, train or car or flight?
2. The best travelling method when I am in Singapore?
3. Which affordable yet comfortable hotel (less than RM200) to stay that is the nearest to the Universal Studios?
4. What are other attraction in Singapore that is in every tourists' must-visit-place list?
5. Is it safe in Singapore? Have you ever being robbed or snatched or conned while you were in Singapore?

Thanks!

If u confirm coming to SG by end of this year then wanna go universal studio, u need to book the ticket in advance and the price is S$72.

1) For me, i will take flight, fast and easy, depends on the price also. If u take coach, need 5 hours time, then maybe will jam at custom JB and SG.

2) Of cause mrt and bus.

3) Rm200 hotel per night, i think quite hard cause mostly hotel here is S$1xx per night, unless u go those "ahem" hotel..

4) This is depends lo, like sentosa, merlion, the sand...

5) SG 100% safe than M'sia, so wont worry about this.

1. Take a flight if you don't like long traveling times. Book on Jetstar. I got my return tickets for just under RM130 but of course you would need to pay for transportation to the airport and spend some time waiting. Aeroline busses is just as comfortable and you can sleep throughout the 5hrs journey.

2. MRT and bus. But i find the taxi not that expensive. Rates start as SGD3 but avoid peak hours from 7-9.30am and 4.30pm-7. something like that cos the surchage is 35%.

3. You can stay at Le Peranakan which I find it pretty nice and clean but it's not near to Sentosa. You can always take a bus there. www.leperanakanhotel.com

4. Definitely the shopping. Ion orchard is a nice one to start with! visit the Marina Bay Sands area, check out the 1-altitude bar on rooftop of One Raffles Place building which gives you 360degrees view.

5. it is damn blardy safe! i had no problem walking alone on Orchard even at midnight.
