What to do in Singapore in 5 hours?
There were no cheaper flights yet direct to Bali when we booked last year. Our option was to transit to Singapore, then Singapore to Manila. So on our way back home, we had the chance to revisit SG. Here's what we did.
Then off we went to visit specific areas. Our first stop, Orchard. Of course! We went to Apple stores since my friend was hunting the Gosh bumper case for her 4S. Then we went window shopping to H&M. Yes, just window shopping. It's a weekend and almost all shopaholics were there. We didn't dare to try out and buy something since were we didn't have enough time. You know how girls shop right? Hours. And we only got minutes. Next time H&M, see you in Hongkong this July!
I think we only burned an hour in Orchard (with the travel time from Changi). Second stop, Marina Bay Sands.
After our arrival, we hurriedly went to a baggage storage and left our bags. We paid SGD 5 each. All terminals in Changi has that facility.

See the long queue over there? |
Well, not the hotel and casino, we just passed by to do photo sessions. What I really wanted to see is the Helix Bridge. Lols.
Well, also pass by and do photo sessions. Because our end and ultimate destination is, you know what?! It's Makansutra Gluttons Bay. Food baby! Haha
We just walked from Bayfront MRT, exit at The Shoppes Marina Bay Sands passing Helix Bridge going to Esplanade for Makansutra. And that's how we ended it, filling our tummy. Great itinerary right?
Here's the route we took from Changi Airport
Changi Airport - Somerset Station - Bayfront MRT Circle Line - Esplanade - Changi Airport
I just love how convenient and fast it is to travel in Singapore. How I wish we could have something like that in Manila.
We did some shopping at the airport as well since our flight was moved from 12:45AM to 1:30AM. I kind of enjoyed transiting, it's tiring but you get to hit 2 birds in one stone. Short Singapore stop but I have lots to say about that 9 hours layover.
