my story-
Singapore…..what can I say…my passport is full with Sing VISA…..hope one day I’ll just need a S Pass when I come over here….wish me luck…..which hotel is always mentioned? (besides those dark 81 hotels) NSS..yup…NSS…The hyped new seven story or in short NSS hotel is already closed! I went there sometime last year,and to my suprise, I saw a notice somehting like this “closed due to goverment acquire” means, the land is leasthold and now the goverment needs the land to build something on it…….. 
i’ve been like 3-4 times tried to walk in here before but was always full….For F1 period last year, it was already fully booked eversince february 
so for F1 i setted with prince of wales backapackers……cheap but so and so……ok…..cut the crap…..just want to share some info about sing with you guys…………
so where do u sleep when u r in singapore?
1) family’s place
2) friend’s place
3) fragance backpackers hostel, lil india st, all rooms are 6persons p/room…around SGD22 per person.quite clean
4) bugis backpackers……around SDG27….16people mix dorm…..
5) if you want a private room , cheapest is SGD120 with attached bathroom….cheaper then then non attach bathroom…..
where do i go when im in singapore?
not much interesting places i must say, KL/klang valley is way more choices compared to sing……
1) sentosa island, buy bus, by cable car, by train, (by car not recommended)
2) arab street
3) boat quay
4) clarke quay
5) esplanade – theatres on the bay
6) fort canning
7) merlion
nasional museum on sing
9) sing art museum
10) orchard road – shopping yada yada…….i still find malaysia midV n the Garden better 
11) sing flyer – like eye on malaysia thingy
12) war memorial park
13) city hall
14) lil india
15) holland st
16) hippo river cruise

20) waterTours
21) jurong bird park
22) singapore nite safari
23) singapore river cruise
Where do i get a map of Singapore?
if u arried in changi airport u can always go to sing tourist counter…..if u are in orchard road, u can also to go their tourist info……a map of sing and interesting places are easy to get, most hotel lobby’s provide this……dont worry if u dont stay there……..just go inside a hotel…..example in Park View hotel and wallah, there ur sing map……
Best time to go there? during F1 indeed…….very happening….but if off season u get better roam rates
how to i know this?
-ive been to all except jurong bird park/nite safari & river cruise
don’ts – dont drive if u dont know ur way, u will end up getting all sorts of summons…..public transport is tiptop…..
p/s u can cover all this in just 2days
