New Journal Entry


We took a plane from Davao International Airport  at around 2:00PM to NAIA3 for our connecting flight to Singapore.  Our flight from Manila to Singapore was at 8:45PM so we had a 4 hour wait in the airport.  There's not much to see yet at NAIA3 since it only opened last August 2008 so only a few shops and eateries around. We arrived at Budget terminal airport in Singapore at around 11:55pm.  Cebu Pacific indeed have live up to its commitment and that is to depart & arrive on time.  We took a car (BMW) arranged by my brother to pick us up at the airport and bring us to Summerview Hotel at Bencoolen St.  It is my first time in Singapore and amazingly it is very clean.  There's so many trees even as we enter the City proper. 

ImageWe arrived at Summerview a few minutes past midnight and my brother met us in the lobby.  There was a long embrace by my brother & mom (we haven't seen each other for almost 2 years since he's working in UK).  The bellboy took our bags and noticeably he is an old man.  At the back of my mind I was thinking they don't retire their personnel.  The man took us in our room and demontrated in a very courteous manner how to use the hotel facilities and told us that water in Singapore are clean and that you can drink it straight from the tap.  He even drank from it in assurance.

Hi Zanjoe, if ever I will go back to Singapore I will still stay at Summerview Hotel for reasons it is convenient (near Bugis, Little India, Orchard etc) you can practically just walk to reach where you wanted to be (just be sure to bring a map with you). Second, don't expect to get a 5 star treatment from a 2 star hotel ( my experience was the service is better for a 2 star). You can read my journal to know more. Thanks

Zanjoe, thank you for reading my trip journal, glad it helps you on your trip. There are still a lot to see in Singapore that's why I will be coming back there (someday...) Anyway another journal will be coming up after our trip to Bangkok in March. I hope you'll read it too. And do make a journal after your trip, not only will it make us remember but will also help others. And do make review on hotels. Have a great trip!!!
