I though the front pg procedure already very clear??

ERP is for those wanna enter Business district which is at S$5/day for foreign cars . Amt deducted from your autopass upon exiting SG. However entering CBD during weekend no ERP.

The toll is actually causway or 2nd link highway toll where bothe M'sia & Singapore also charge (Both share the bridge & causeway kua..

VEP- This is SG road tax for foreign cars. However they gave 10 days free every year except weekend..

So I think this is the best i can summarissed liao

Aiyo...My dummy guide also fail again!! haizz..

VEP is their road tax & u will be automatically given 10 days free ..so why so worry unless u enter SG frequently & more than 10 days??

ERP is their penalty system to reduce numbers of cars to central business district (CBD) during office hour/weekdays. Any for M'sian cars, they will detect based on the powderfull cameras/sensors on the entry point. You will be charged flat S$5/day irregardless of how many times to enter & amt deducted from your autopass card upon exiting SG.

Long time ago, I used to stayed at JB hotel & travel via bus to SG but the time wasted during Morning rush hour, on my later trip, I rather stay at SG easier...Esp those clean budget hotel like Hotel81 (Rm100). Free parking. & cheaper than JB hotel (Crystal Crown - RM140)!

is the ticket transferable? if yes then anyone wanna share with me? i need 2....

Your itinerary shows 5D4N. laugh.gif

Curious, where do you stay? Hotels in Singapore is not cheap! If I were given a chance to change my travel date, I'd say 3D2N is more than enough.

Great, you can really save ALOT by lodging at friend's home thumbup.gif

Since your friend is staying in SG, I think he/she would be the best candidate to advise you on your itinerary.

My main objective to SG next year would be the RWS/USS/Marina Sand Bay & Singapore Flyer.

hello

i highly doubt if there's any luggage storage at the zoo. anyway you might want to think if you wanna visit the zoo and the night safari on the single day. might be too much of the similar, if not same, thing. i would recommend you choose one, depending on the weather and the time you reach Singapore.

your saturday itinerary seems okay, but the vivocity and then the combination of activities after that might seem a bit rushed to me. vivocity is a big shopping mall. if you like shopping, you might spend some time there. if not, well, then i reckon you skip that altogether cause it's nothing but an endless array of shops. =) can go for some drinks at clarke quay - it's fun on a sat night. alternatively, just next to vivo is st. james powerstation, a clubbing venue.

p/s: there's nothing much to do in sentosa besides USS and the casino. finding it pretty weird that you would set aside time for that, considering you're going for the latter options on monday.

if i were you, i would put esplanade and the singapore flyer on the next day, on sunday. it is in close proximity to bugis. that said, any place in sg is close to each other, so no worries.

hope this helps. anything else, just post it up here. have fun! =)

Thanks panasonic88 thumbup.gif

It will be a single trip, so will skip the RW and US part.

Will be planning for shoes/toys hunting + Christmas decoration shooting.

Gah! I need a SG tour guide! unsure.gif
