About Singapore

Mustafa and lucky plaza good rates for money change.. sa lucky plaza main entrance sa left don ako lagi nagpapalit pag my left over ako na peso. Better nga po ung peso to s$..
Kung bili kayu nang mga souvenirs or panalubung meron din sa basement ng lucky plaza, mga tshirts na singapore tig 2$.. pero mas marami kang option kung sa chinatown isang buong kalye yun puru souvenirs ang tinda nila.

Better diretso na ang Peso to S$. Bring lots of S$ then back it up with credit card.

saan OK magpapalit ng pera dito sa Metro Manila, yung mababa ang rate in peso then mataas na rate when exchanged in SG$?

and how much do I need to spend in SG (for a 3-4 day leisure)?

singapore is an expensive place.
if you pay the plane ticket and hotel bill here, you will need a lot less pocket money there.
50 SGD transportation expenses a day is probably do-able..
100 SGD a day for ordinary food is ok with me. (i like food.)
research po on what entrance fees you will be paying for your tourist spots.
for electronic items, assume their prices are the same as here..
ask your bank if you can use your atm, to withdraw money there.
have fun.

Sentosa and Universal Studio could cost you S$500/day. Night safari is S$50 and transpo and food could be another s$50/day. Now if you want to shop at Orchard, buy electronics at sim lim square, and bar hop at orchard tower, that would be an entirely different story. Bring a credit card with at least PHP50K credit line. Good luck and have lots of fun!

Safe na ba mamile ulit sa sim lim? Much better yata pag sa funan ka mamile ng electronics.

[erdiedizon]

Ok naman po mamile sa simlim, basta dapat alam mo bininili mo,then u should as if the price is inclusive of gst/tax na.. although my mga magugulang na seller doon,if u feel something fishy then go to other shops.. actually electronics are not so really cheap here.. ang masaklap pa pag my problem nabili mo then nasa pilipinas kana paano mupa ipapalit..

Masyadong broad ang tanong mo. Define what things you want to do (ie. night life, theme parks, electronic shopping, food trip etc..) , then we can provide a more closer estimate. If you need 5 digits of S$ i may be able to help.

Theme parks, roaming around the city, food trip, and maybe night life will do.

BTW, yung accomodation will not be a problem to me since I will sleep at my cousin's place. I might do it in 3 or maybe 4 days (I will be in SG for a week, and yung 3 days is already allotted for me to attend a conference in SG).

Theme parks you can check on their respective website for exact entrance amount and how to get there.

Roaming around, buy ez-link card to pay for trains , buses and some fast food resto para you save on coins. The card & it's left over balance can be refunded pag pauwi kana. East to West taxi fare is about S$55 just to give you an idea.

Hawkers food is bout 6-8 bucks while fastfood and food courts at malls 7-15 bucks.

Night life, i suggest you leave your urge on this as it's expensive since your just be there for just a few days. If you want to try foreign delight, Geylang is the place for S$100-150, a bit high end will be at Brix at Scott road for S$400 minimum depends on nationality.

I'd say S$1K should suffice you for 4 days 3 night stay but for a week, 2K will safe with some left over for shopping. When shopping, always ask for GST receipt which you can refund at the airport prior boarding.

night safari -- NOT WORTH IT. daytime trip ka na lang mas ok. yung night safari you will just be riding on the tram, it stops a few seconds while the recorded voice plays then andar na naman. you can't take pictures since bawal ang flash.

universal studios -- IT CLOSES AT 6PM. so go there at opening (10 am, not sure) and see the more important rides and shows first like transformers. when you enter, go counter clockwise (or turn to the street to the right). pag clockwise ang lakad mo mauuna mo yung mga kiddie rides baka di mo makita (at di mo maulit) yung transformer.

science museum -- not worth it. aksaya lang ng panahon. the adjoining place where they have the indoor snow ekek is also not worth the time.

bird park -- pwede na kung wala ka talaga magawa.

sentosa -- uhm, nothing special. pang singaporean lang 'to, kasi it is the only beach they have. ocean park at the luneta is just as good. and ocean adventure at subic is better than their dolphin show.
when you are going to universal studios e andun ka na din lang naman, just go see madame tussaud's if you finish before 6pm. if you are planning to go to the casino make sure you bring your passport with you.

gardens by the bay -- mas maganda pag may kasama ka. pag isa ka lang boring. sabagay uso naman ang selfie.

marina bay sands -- the view deck is a small part of the roof only. if you want to see the whole garden and pool at the top you need to be a checked in guest. pag nagutom ka dun and you are on a budget there is a food court at the mall.

[xwangbu]

sentosa alone offers most of SG's major attractions. but then kung ikaw lang mag-isa or hindi ka isip bata - di mo maeenjoy. hehe .
-you can try the skyline luge and iFly.
-feb 16-21 is the biennial singapore airshow.
-universal studios - papicture k lang sa may entrance tapos alis na.

night life - clarke quay - $200 ok na for 3-4 persons.

wag ka gawi sa boat quay - para ka lang nagpunta ng makati av.
wag ka ring punta chinese new year.
kung mamili ka souvenir - sa chinatown and bugis village ka punta.
kung gusto mo jollibee punta ka lucky plaza. 😀

[dr. d]

you have to go and experience it, and decide for yourself if you like it or not.
don't "take the word of others", na maganda dito at pangit doon.
singapore is the "garden city".
go and explore.

Bro.,- parang sinasabi mong pumunta na lang siya sa Geylang o sa Kallang o sa Orchard Towers (nandiyan ang dati naming Singapore Office e.... )...

mahigit isa't kalahating dekada na lumipas since last punta ko sa orchard towers bro. at painum-inom lang. daming operada dun nuon kaya di na ko bumalik. sa mga puti patok na patok sila di marunong kumilatis ng adams apple e.

i can stay one whole day in the air-conditioned garden under the bubble.. just sitting there, reading a good book.

Funan Mall will be closed in the third quarter of 2016 for a 3-year renovation.

May uupo sa tabi mong indian na 1 week nang hindi naliligo, at magkakataon pa na katatapos lang nya kumain ng isang kilong sibuyas at bawang with matching 1 kilo na curry powder. Haaaaak!
