Lotsa famous Singapore Street foods just opposite this Buddha Relic temple haha..The Maxwel Food Court

Walk around Chinatown and you get the idea dy. key chains & etc...well suprisingly cheap! Junk food...same like M'sia nia..nothing interesting to bring back..Eat on the spot..probably..just walk inside Maxwel FC opposite the temple...junk food such as Fried Qyster cake (Not available in M'sia), Hum Chin peng..super cheap..6pc for S$1 & more..

Fuuuu unker...Tony Roma junk food liao kah haha

As far as I know..nothing really famous there...

Most budhet hotels will not be located near Central area. Cheap hotels normally located ~ Geylang or Little India area

Hotel81 only cheap if located in Geylang. Those outside of Geylang area, the price will not be cheap..esp Hotel81 at Chinatown..I think ~ S$100. Hotel 81 in Geylang normally ~ S$60. However if book online via asiarooms/agoda, sometime able to get S$40-S$50 on those Hotel81 in Geylang..However from few forumers that tried recently..seems like this dioscounted offers getting lesser

There are few feeder buses going to Singapore & not all stop at Kranji. You can take the bus at Larkin or at the Immigration complex itself.

The Yellow causewaybay buses..That wan go all the way to Opposite Sim lim Plaza M'sian Bus terminal. The SBS red & white bus..yeah stop at kranji MRT station but I think they also having another number that go direct to Singapore..well can't remember liao..check Singapore Bus website lor..

Dun-lah bring your pets everywhere...You might be in love wth your pet but be sensitive to others..i hate seeing ppl bringing their pets to restaurants & eateries...Esp those wth animal fur allergy

5 hours lor...

By car about 4 hrs..

But watch out on border jam..I kena 2 hrs b4..So if teruk, expect 5hrs +2!!

It's about 350+ km As what Darknite said, time wasted normally on the stops. Passengers need to stop to do their "biz" If you drive, gurantee 3.5 hrs can reach border dy, thereafter if without jam ~15min waiting at border immigration lanes & also open boot for Singapore custom (They really kiasu wan ) & another 1/2 hr to Singapore downtown - kenot speed..max I think 80 or 90km/hr

If bus - Wth 1 stop probably 4hrs to reach and if no jam, probably 1/2 hr at the custom complex (You need to go down & que for passport & rush for the bus mah) & thereafter another 30min to bus terminal - so ngam-ngam 5 hrs lor

The m'sia & Singapore border complex very modern & canggih wan. but still jam if you go during peak hours i.e ~ 6am till 9am and from Singapore side from 6pm till 7:30pm. However during Eve or public Holiday..anytime also can jam.. I kena 2 hrs border jam at 24th Dec last yr.. Reach border at 2pm and only managed to reach Woodland side at 4pm darm

The most important thing b4 going up this expensive viewing platform - Check 1st for sign of rain & also hazy consition.

Buta-buta you pay S$20 and it's raining or super smog from Indonesia...Whatever camera you have also gone liao

Honestly I also speed there haha..beh tahan maintaining at 80-90km/hr so sometime I also speed till 110km/hr there..at 110km/hr super fast liao..but at 110km/hr at NSE, super slow wan haha

Unker, nowadays, activation for oversea withdrawals can be done via ATM liao...Either permanent activation or wth Time to expiry. Not necessary Maybank ATM in Sinkapor but any other ATM having the "PLUS" or VISA interlink sign as per the logo at the back of Maybank ATM card

Very funny

This is one of the current best rate in KL. You can use their rate as a yardstick to negotiate wth all the lousy rates available in Puchong. In PJ, Ikano opposite Uncle Lim kopitiam having one of thye best.

In KL - Lotsa money changers in front of BB Plaza having very competetive rate and most of them better or equal to the link below

Added on June 24, 2011, 9:19 amThere is an MRT line at Bugis Junction. Also pls refer to pg1 1st for better understanding of the MRT route.

On Geylang -Well It's for sure the dirtiest part of Singapore for sure but still much cleaner than lotsa surburban or even KL city!! That's the only place you can see lotsa Bangla & South Asian foreigners, Ah Kua & Legalised prostitutes. Also the cheapest hotels are there. The only problem wth Geylang for those without transport - Both MRT stations (Al Juned & Kallang) are far away from hotels. You need to walk atleast 1 -1.5km to the nearest unless you find hotels within walking distance away.

Hmnn From my maps, Emerald located at Lorong 6, Geylang the very 1st lane after KPE/TPE highway. The closest MRT = Kallang on the North west of lorong 6 and about 800M walking distance away..not bad-lah.. From my experience staying at lrg 16, walking ~ 900m to Aljuned MRt - no probloem but after a day of walking around everywhere in Singapore, walking bck from MRT to hotel although just 800M is like 10km walk haha..That time just thinking of flagging a cab liao

Just hop in to any public buses available there lor from JB checkpoint. certain buses goto Kranji MRT station which is nearby and others direct to M'sian bus terminal in Rochor area (near Sim Lim & Bugis)

Long time ago, I thought I got a good deal & bought an MP3 player in SimLim...Well, upon returning to M'sia, the same mps3 player was selling at 3/4 of what I got in Singapore Sigh...I never ever bought any computer & electronics from Sim Lim & Funan thereafter

For Thailand -Yes you can I tested dy recently when my paasport expiring in Oct 2011 & I entered Betong, Thailand in Early June. ..Well you can try be a guinea pig for forumer here ..Make sure go during weekday & once kena halau, goto nearest imigration offcie to renew
