can get there via MRT?

Which one the branches of Hotel 81 is clean and cheap ? If at geylang which
branch is recommended ? Better far a bit from the red light district - -

Hi,

Just get off at Harbourfront Station and proceed to Harbourfront Tower. Then you can purchase the cable car ticket to Mount Faber from the Harbourfront Tower.

Bencoolen is a bit pricey for me , Geylang district is okay but i just wanna avoid those red light lorongs .. Hotel Palace Geylang maybe ? Any reviews ?

oh yeah... i agree... nice place... the toilet v nice too... got scenery wan... hehe

Any sifu can confirm that Tuas Checkpoint arrival zones before entering Singapore is open 24 hours?

oo means it is at vivocity also? mount faber is better then clark quay?

Yes, you can get to the Harbourfront Tower from Vivocity. It depends on you actually. For me, the ambience in Mount Faber is much better, albeit dining there is more costly. You can refer to http://www.mountfaber.com.sg/ for more informations on Mount Faber.

oooo ok thanks...

btw..any interesting events happening in singapore during the first week of august?

quite sad i can't visit the garden festival.

Yeah I stayed at Hotel Palace 81 b4..Super clean & comes wth free Super mee & mineral water sumore..but room abit small & so do the toilet..something like the 1st world Hotel room in Genting but cleaner.

If u dun mind the location & ignore those red light district should be OK..I even walked to the nearby hawker for supper - No problem-lah...Anyway Lrg 16 really lotsa chicken & Ah Kua wan at night ..Even at the hawker ctr

Can anyone tell me is there any affordable hotel near sentosa island or universal studio?

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

Here's the link to checkpoint:

Plan to get a perfume here in Spore.. Anyone know where is the cheapest place to get it ?

Or airport is cheaper ? hmm ..

Thanks, I've gone there and back already. Done 1600km, Pg to Sinkapo and back. No wonder I dun see any Penang cars. Hardly see any Malaysian registered cars in the 3 days driving in Sinkapo. Was expecting a few Johor cars but I guess they are parked at the Sands.

Oh, dun need to buy the card reader they somehow know how to charge you S$5 per day for the ERP charges, no matter how many times you pass the gantry. Just need to buy their 'AUTOPASS' for S$10 and later need to reload at any 7E outlets.
Parking at the HDB area need coupons 50cent for half and hour, and S$2 for over night. The coupons are purchased in booklets in 7E also.

No need map, just use my handphone GPS and malfree maps.

I suspect the ERP overhead gantree having some form of powerfull chip detector or even powerful camera that can detect any M'sian cars passing by liao.. & thus, easy for them to detect upon exiting..Anyway..Sinkapor Govt very fair for M'sian cars wan..only charge S$5/day whereas their citizen it's not S$5/day but counted by numbers of entry..haha

I think they have powerful camera with number recognition software that auto update their data.

BTW Bro, many thanks for the advices on GPS, without it I wont have make it to Sinkapo, some more driving in Sinkapo to so many places.

I now know why Sinkapo drivers tends to drive veli fast in Malaysia!
