3D2N Singapore Solo Budget Itinerary | 2018

Singapore never fails to amaze me.
This is my second time and supposed to be, I'm with Manang (Older female) Koleen. Unfortunately, something happened in the airport. All our attraction tickets were booked already in KLOOK and the Immigration Officer didn't want her to pass through. So I am the only one who flew. It was a bad experience for Manang Koleen since it's her first time flying. I felt so dumb because I didn't know that there are additional requirements if working in the government. I was in great confidence that we can pass through the immigration.

To make the long story short, we must move one and I have to continue the journey of travelling alone again.

This time, I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights only. I know I can't go to all the places I wanted to go so I'll leave it on my next trip. My total expenses for this trip is at the end of the blog.

ACCOMMODATION

DATE HOSTEL SGD Currency Rate SUBTOTAL JULY 21-23, 2018 2 NIGHTS Fisher BnB $152 ₱39.3 ₱5,973.60 Total per pax ₱2,986.80 Average per night ₱1,493.40

                   If you need just a place to stay your night, Hostels are great deal since you are out during the the day. I booked through Agoda because I find it cheaper than other travel apps. You can also use Agoda PointMax on your chosen miles. Better to book your stay three months before your stay for great insider deal and also check your email for Promo Codes. Agoda sends email for 5% discount on your stay. Also, use the Agoda App on your phone because it is much cheaper than on their website.

FOOD

I know I saved from having brunch during my travel but I have biscuits with me that I can eat from time to time. And bought snacks using the EZlink since I top-up a bigger bill. I have 350mL/12 fl. oz. bottle for water and it can fit in my little bag. If you'd stick to SG$8 per meal. You'll save a lot. You can also have meals below SG$ 8 just like I had in Tyrwhitt Road.

I booked our one way during Piso Fare of Cebu Pacific Air last November 2017 and 143 pesos base fare last February 2018. I chose a low-cost airline since we are going on budget. You may wonder why there were two 20kls. additional luggage. Supposed to be we were together by Manang Koleen and our luggage when we return to Philippines was on her name. Since I was the one who flew, I can't used it. Emergency alert! I have to buy additional luggage and the currency exchange rate on my time was low.

GETTING AROUND SINGAPORE?

You can easily memorize the stations and getting around Singapore by its MRT/LRT but sometimes you need to look at the destination map to avoid getting lost. Also look for Exits because you may lost your way.

• By Bus - it's better to ride a bus if you need to alight in Point-to-Point location.
• By MRT / LRT - the use of EZlink is cheaper than buying a regular ticket. It is a loadable card and you can use in some stores. It is used to ride a bus also.

WHAT TO BRING?

• Adapter

Here's the type (G) of socket at Fisher BnB:

• Medicine - if you have sensitive stomach like mine, and gets to eat different food for the next three hours, I probably get bloated
• Tissue
• Tumbler - you need to be hydrated all throughout your journey
• Umbrella - we don't know the weather so it's better to be ready
• Comfy shoes & outfit 
• Eyemask - for a good night sleep
