The shuttle service is FREE for all, coz it's provided by the airport, not the airlines. It's a 24hr service, runs between BT and T2.

Ya, lot's of shoe - non-branded, probably imported from Malaysia. Besides, Singaporean would come to Malaysia to buy shoes!

They would know, the autopass cash card is embedded with chip, got vehicle number. It is stated in the T&C too, you'll kena fine if it's different vehicle.

Last time, I keep just enough money to pay toll, the "extra" balance in the cash card I used at 7-11 to buy newspaper and drinks before I leave S'pore - coz I know I probably won't be driving the same car back to S'pore and I don't want to keep the cash card with $$$ in it. FYI, the cash card can be used to buy things and pay car park fees too.

Yes, 24hrs. Border security is very important to S'pore.

Here's the link to checkpoint:

Load it up with SIM card, and throw away the packaging box. If found by M'sia custom still packed nicely in the box, will kena tax.

Must hide all other "evidence",eg accessary, warranty card, and receipt too.

Not double, but 50% more.

Singapore taxi -all kind of surcharges: peak hour surcharge(35%), midnight surcharge(50%), CBD surcharge, public holiday surcharge, location surcharge(eg pickup from the airport). Passenger also bears the ERP fee.

Quite a few nice one, esp those at the hotels - Hyatt Hotel, Pan Pacific Hotel, Shangri-la Hotel, Marriot Hotel. Cheaper buffets are at Swissotel Merchant Court, Rendezvous Hotel, Amara Hotel, Phoenix Hotel.

Then, the most economical of all, and not in hotels is this restaurant chain called Sakura international buffet restaurant, got a few outlets.

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.

1. Cathay Photo at Peninsular Plaza.
2. Alan Photo at Sim Lim Square, and Funan Centre
3. MS Color at AMK

These are the 3 shops that I go to. All have their own website, check it out. And if you know exactly the model, get e-quotation, print out and bring to the shop.

However, things are cheaper in Malaysia now...

At the moment, which S'pore telco offers the best Value For Money prepaid SIM?

I just need to make calls and sms in S'pore.

If you have a place to stay in JB, then maybe you could consider just go over to S'pore as day trip. RM$500 is about S$200 only, barely enough for one person.

I guess nobody in Singapore would complaint about being "far" coz most of the places are easily accessable by public transport. After all, Singapore is not big la.

If want to go to USS, take train to Harbour Front, or take bus to Vivo City, then another bus to Resort World Sentosa.

In general, if you know which bus to take and which stop to alight, then bus is cheaper than MRT. However, if it's long distance, bus journey may take longer time than MRT.

Got to expect a lot of walking when in Singapore.

Most likely where the local Muslim goes too, which also means might be a bit out of the way for a tourist.

I would say Restu Seafood Restaurant at Bedok North, which is a halal restaurant serving Chinese Food. We go there with our Muslim friends. And the mee soto at Adam Road Hawker Centre.

If in Orchard area, can try Sakura Cuisine at Far East Plaza.

It's true that Google can get a lot of places, but you can further Google and read on peoples' Flogs.

Transferable in what sense? There's no name printed on the tickets.
