walk around Singapore....Garden by the Bay

I was impressed by the night view of Garden by the Bay shared by someone in their websites. Hence, this garden was listed as our 'must visit' attraction of this Singapore trip. 

We took SMRT to Bayfront station and walked to Garden by the Bay, followed the clear signboard along the way. Don't worry, just around 5-10 minutes walking distance.

For non local resident, the standard rate of adult will be S$28 for two conservatories. I would like to share a tip here for a budget traveller...since this Garden is quite attractive, there will be some promotion/ package offer by the group purchase voucher (i.e. Groupon in Malaysia). Check it out and you might be able to grab the ticket with cheaper price. This is the way how we save our budget :)

We made ourselves in the garden around 4pm to ensure we able to enjoy both day and night view of the garden.

We hop onto the Garden Cruiser tram (S$5 per adult) and follow the ride within garden before enter the conservatories.





Flower Dome

It was my first experience to enjoy walking around in the garden that fully air-conditioned. So great! We could slowly took the photo without sweating. Various attractive flowers were waiting for our camera flashing.








Cloud Forest

The second conservatory is Cloud Forest. Upon entry, we were amazed by the indoor waterfall.


Experienced the 'lost world' in this conservatory...




In overall, this Garden by the Bay is worth to give a visit, we have an enjoyable moment there. The souvenir shop is also offering unique items in reasonable price.

from Senai Airport to Singapore by Sky Shuttle

Lets have short break in Singapore.... few tips for those go for budget trip..

We grab a free seat by Air Asia and travel to Johor Senai Airport in April 2013. Now AirAsia and Causewaylink had provided free Sky Shuttle Bus from Senai Airport to Singapore. Book your  free Sky Shuttle in Causewaylink website by only key in flight confirmation number. Once e-ticket ready, print it out and show to the Causewaylink counter at Senai Airport for verification. Present it to Sky Shuttle driver and you could enjoy the service. After CIQ Johor Bahru, present e-ticket to the Causewaylink bus CW1 or CW2. Take either one bus to CIQ Woodlands, Singapore. After go through the immigration, then take the right Causewaylink bus to your destination, CW1 to Kranji MRT Station and CW2 to Queen Street.

In case you book the round trip flight ticket to Senai Airport, the Sky Shuttle Bus service is covering both ways to and from Singapore. Travelling process is same, just in opposite way.
