Sorry somehow I just feel their bed is "unclean" and disgusts me if you know what I mean. Oh well, that's my opinion no intention to put Hotel81's group of hotels down ok. NSS itself and the hotel guests are decent that's all I'm saying.

Another backpackers' favourite is Prince of Wales www.pow.com.sg It's located at Dunlop Street in Little India. I never stayed there but I have been there for their varities of cold draught beers and it's dirt cheap. I paid SGD7.00 for a pint due to discount, normal price is about SGD10-12 I think. Lots of Europeans due to cheap stay, show rugby games on tv, pool (one table) and of course b e e r s

Another vote for the NSS hotel. Located at a very convinient location. Would definately be staying there again should I visit S'pore. Here's a shot taken from the room window.

So wats the normal bus ticket price to go to Singapore from KL?

another vote for inn crowd. i love that place! they have this board near their entrance, and they will write travel opportunities/free tour etc there.

the last time I travelled was RM30 from puduraya but I have saved the hassle by paying more, I'm taking better coach now.

wah dat's really cheap but only for card members only........haha......mayb she could get it for u...or else wat's the point she sign up as a member.....

Lol..No la dude..Not interested in going with people..

http://www.summertavern.com/

the owners were interviewed about how they started and why they do it... check out their site, some quite impressive

Does the Singapore F1 ticket start selling?...going to singapore see it..1st in earth F1 race in night mode

yes it is on sale now..
http://www.singaporegp.sg/ticket.html

Marina Bay Street - 3 day season passes priced from SGD 168 for a walkabout to SGD S$1,388 for the premeir Pit Grandstand.

Haiz.....can't reschedule my time table.....looks like i have to miss the SG sales oso......but anyway wil still go travel around SG during august.

Now already planning to book NSS hotel, really seems like very convenient. Prev someone mention that it's near Durian building......just wondering what is that? only noted is a building that looks like durian........ is it a shopping complex or building full of durian ...

Im gonna book the inn crowd..seems like a nice place..haha

My favorite place in SG is still the excellent RP on Scotts... They renovated the place when my mum and bros were there around 2 weekends ago and what a change... The hotel room looks very contemporary and stylish, although the facade outside still looks like what it was 20 years ago!

Unfortunately, as me and my gf were on a budget, we went for the Hotel 81 Palace on Lorong 16, Geylang (we were on the same trip with my mum actually, but they flew via AirAsia whilst we drove in!)... That was a real budget hotel, standard bed and tiny toilet...

The main Geylang Road was quite happening at night, with all sorts of weird entertainment around as well as crowded kopitiams... However, Lorong 16 was quite scary though, with trannies and other strange ppl around the area...

Currently here's the summary of places that i planning to go.....

1. Bugis Juction mall
2. Suntec city ......famous for largest fountain.....but main thing is shopping. Is this the so call famous durian building??
3. Bugis village.......still checking on the map where is it.......famous for hawkers food n pasar malam
4. Sim Lim Square (KIV) .....actually is it cheap to buy electronic stuff there as compare to Low Yat ????
5. Kwan Im Temple......maybe can stop by to pray that have more increment.....or get married faster.......lol
6. Marina bay.......to have a look a the merlion and the flyer is there oso rite???
7. Night safari (KIV)......not sure whether is it worth it
8. China town.......is it sort of like our version of petaling street? Hoping to taste great food there
9. ..........still checking out

People.......more suggestion please.............

i'll be there for 3 days 2 nights.......main purpose is shopping (eventhough is not during the great sales....damn), secondary purpose is anything that is nice, not expensive entrance fee (flyer is expensive but planning to go hav a look anyway), must go, not to be miss places.....

stay sg 2 years liao.. heres what i think

1) Bugis Mall ok la... but since it's nearby Bugis Village & Sim Lim, might as well go there. Can try the reasonably nice Siao Long Baos at Nanxiang Steam Bun Restaurant 2nd floor. (Cannot beat the main Branch in Shanghai, but still not bad la.)
2) Suntec City ok for shopping too.. you can go to a machine console near fountain which you can input free text which will then projected onto the fountain using lasers... you can also try Tony Roma's prime pork ribs near the fountain as well... yummy.
3) Bugis Village just has lots of those small boutique shops. Not to a guy's interest la (albeit a sex shop...heeheee)... so i can't say
4) Sim Lim... yes slightly cheaper generally. Just be careful of most shops on bottom floor selling cameras. Some horror stories on them... Alan Photo is ok however
5) No comment. I guess this is the one near Bugis as well?
6) think so.
7) ok ok la... nothing too special, although its something to experience just once.
8) ok ok la... is a touristy area... so i think it's not cheap too. Food? Not too sure.
9) Head to Sentosa in the morning/afternoon, and head to Vivocity for shopping in the evening. After that head down to Clarke Quay for a drink or just chill out. They are located quite near each other.
10) How could you miss out the number 1 place to shop at? Orchard Road?!!@!

The Durian building is the Esplanade at Marina Bay..quite nice view..
