Singapore 2012

 We went to Singapore last April 17, then returned by April 19. Yes, we only stayed there for three days.

To maximize our time, we skipped Night Safari Zoo, Singapore Zoo, and Sentosa (but we went to Universal Studio).

Here's some of our photos during our stay:

Singapore Flyer

Unfortunately, I forgot the name of this place. It's just near Marina Bay Sands, and it has similar concept with Mercato at the Fort (food bazaar).

Bugis Village, the best (most affordable) night market at Singapore. Night market is open until 10pm during weekdays and 12mn during weekends. If you want to shop late during weekdays, go to Mustafa (near Farrer-MRT station). It's a department store that's open for 24 hours!

Notes:

1. Ticket from Vivo to Sentosa costs SGD3, two-way ticket already.

2. If you are backpackers or a family who is on budget, stay at Mitraa Inn. We reserved a room with 3 double deck beds and private restroom. FYI, most hostels/inns don't have private restrooms, only common restrooms. We only paid around P11,000 for our stay there (3 days and 2 nights). But, don't expect a luxurious buffet breakfast from them. Free breakfast includes bread and jam, fruit of the day, coffee, and egg.

3. Bring water when you travel because everything is expensive at Singapore, even water.

4. Bring snacks and water bottle to Universal Studios. You can bring food from outside to Universal Studios. As for drinks, you can find a lot of water fountains there.

5. My favorite rides at Universal Studios are: Ride the Movies--The Transformers and The Mummy (Roller Coaster).
