An overview of what kaijun has said

¶ the fridge IS VERY big... there're lots of pans and pots available there... so you can cook maggi mee. there's also the type of freezer you use to put drinks and ice
¶ the bbq pits are right in front of the chalets... no shelter or whatsoever.
¶ the bus stop is right in front of the chalet.the reception counter is directly at the opp. Lane
¶ no need to worry about food... if you walk further up , there're a few coffee shops there. However, it is not advisable to walk there at night because it is very deserted.
¶ Anyway, if we are going to take bus 29, be prepared for a 20min bus ride? a bit long... so it would be better if you take the shuttle bus (from pasir ris).
¶ The first bus for 29 is 0520 and last bus is 2345. anyway, 67 goes to tampiness too... just a few stops before palm gardens. you have to change bus before you can reach the destination.
¶ There should be enough space so probably no need bring sleeping bags. There are 6 beds. Each room has 2. Possible to join them together. likely to be able to accomodate 5 people
¶ There is also a sofa, and we can drag it to the room

¶ PLS bring insect repellant. BE PREPARED to make blood donation to the mosquitoes. Probably a few packets of blood? HAHAS. So do consider wearing track pants at night.
¶ Perhaps we can check in earlier... because it's REALLY DESERTED THERE! and the door is NOT LOCKED.

how do u get there...

Those staying in jurong or near jurong; take mrt travelling towards pasir ris (takes about 1hr+), alight at tampines to take bus no 29 or pasir ris to take the shuttle bus <--- cheaper.

Those staying near woodlands can take bus no 969 from woodlands int. It travels all the way to tampines. Takes approx 40-50min

Alternatively, you can board the bus that stops near admiralty stn, yishun stn and khatib stn. The route for 969 is as follows( it’s the fastest mode of transport, but more costly for those staying at CCK I supposed…by a few cents?? Hahas =D)
