*Prices are subject to change so pls visit their websites.

This itinerary was made at the last quarter of 2008. The year, i made an amazing race like tour. Absolutely tiring but worth it! I don’t recommend this kind of itinerary, i must admit that it was one of the most exhausting trips i’ve ever made BUT i just want everyone to know that it’s possible and can be done. With a careful planning and research, this trip can be a success. O well… As the saying goes TIME is GOLD… 😄😄😄

The Story

DAY 1 – Arrival in KL, Malaysia Our flight to Kuala Lumpur is a 4-hr flight. We decided to booked a flight at Air Asia coz of the promo fares. Around 7 am, we headed to Clark International Airport, it’s about an hour drive from Quezon City.

Updated 2014: *one can ride a bus going to Clark, simply inquire about the schedule of the buses located at Trinoma Mall, Quezon City (To get here: Ride an MRT and alight at North Ave Station, the mall is just beside the station). The terminal is located at the ground floor, near CD R King and Mercury, outside the mall. (To get here: Exit at the main entrance near KFC and JCo, then turn left and walk for 2 mins).

3:40 pm – Arrival – LCCT Airport, Kuala Lumpur This is the budget airport of Kuala Lumpur. It’s a small airport so it’s not hard to find your way out.

4:30 pm – Get Skybus to KL Sentral – 9 MYR The buses are located just outside the airport.

The only good thing about this hotel is the good view of Petronas Towers and very near to Train Station.

DAY 4 – Arrival in Singapore

*During this trip, make sure that you have enough coins if you want to use the restrooms during breaks.

*On the arrival point in Singapore, bring all your luggages and your documents for the immigration process. The bus will wait for you at the other side of the building. Make sure to move faster and to be aware of your bus mates. As for our case, we moved too slow and upon exiting, we got confused because there are so many transnasional buses waiting. We were lucky to be helped by one bus driver and drove us to lavender terminal.

3:30 am – Arrival in Singapore (take taxi to hotel) – 15 SGD (7.5/each)

*The bus terminal can’t be considered a literal terminal, it’s more of a big parking lot with a bus stop stand. At first we thought of staying there until the MRT opens, around 5:30 am but since the place is unreliable, we decided to took the taxi to our hotel. Luckily, my companion got some singaporean dollars to keep us through.

-Hotel Lounge

4:00 am – Arrival at Fragrance Selegie Hotel (bring luggage to concierge)

We stayed there for an hour until we’ve decided to walk around towards Mustafa Center. The center is located within walking distance from our hotel. Good thing, it’s open 24 hrs everyday. It’s wee hours in the morning and the entire Singapore is still dark, but we didn’t have any discomfort, and felt safe.

Fragrance Selegie Hotel Website: http://www.fragrancehotel.com

Verdict: Location: ☺☺☺☺ 

Cleanliness: ☺☺ ☺ 

Recommended: ☺☺☺ A very small room, not recommended for caucasians, since the walking space can be occupied by your luggages. Everything is small, even the television. Good thing about it is its proximity to the MRT stations and the location is good to everything. It’s relatively clean. Since everything is expensive in Singapore, this is a better option than staying at Red light district.

It’s beautiful and you will feel the warmth of being in a real jungle. Upon entering, you will be greeted with some fire dancers. Then you need to proceed at the starting point of the Safari Trip. The entire trip is about an hour ride. Everybody is not allowed to use camera flash since you’ll be visiting a zoo full of unguarded wild animals.
