Buying a train ticket for Singapore to KL

I want to take the sleeper train from Singapore to KL. I understand that getting on at JB will make it much cheaper so I am willing to do that. But how can I buy tickets before I get to JB Sentral? The KTM website has a bug and trains for next Tue. won't show up. I asked a Singaporean friend but she just told me that no one she knows ever takes the train to Malaysia. Thanks in advance.

Share hotel room for Marina Bay Sands Singapore June 8th

Hello! I have booked a night at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore for Saturday June 8th, I was just wondering if anyone would like to share the room with me? It's £308 GBP for the one night(including taxes), so split between two people, it wouldn't be bad. The hotel is amazing! I'm a 30 year old female traveling alone. Here is the hotel website. http://www.marinabaysands.com/

Visa agent in Singapore?

Hello

Can anyone advise me of a visa agent based in Singapore.

I have been told that I can obtain a visa for Papau New Guinea in just a day by visiting the embassy in Singapore - however, I have also been advised that this probably will not be possible without an agent?

Any advise would be gratefully received!

Thanks Legdeg

Chances of catching a bus from Johor Bahru to Singapore

Hi, this morning I've tried to book a bus ticket to Singapore from Melacca. However, it's not possible due to the elections, fully booked etc.

I have booked a 2 PM bus from Malacca to Johor Bahru estimating to arrive at 5 PM.

What are the chances of being able to catch a bus to Singapore from the bus terminal at Larkin JB with no ticket?
Do they go frequently, and in the evening?

Thanks

Where to watch FA Cup Final in Singapore?

I will be in Singapore from May 8-13, and am hoping to catch the English FA Cup Final on May 11 somewhere. Can anyone recommend a good place? I'd like to watch it at a pub that especially caters to/is popular with football supporters. As it would be the Saturday night, I don't just want to go to any old place that will throw up the game on a TV screen. Thanks!

Hi!

I am going to a lighting fair later this year in Singapore, and plan to spend some days extra i Singapore after that.
My plan is to find som beach resort. My first thought was to book a plane to somewhere in Thailand, but would it be cheaper to find something nearer, as i shall depart from Singapore again. i am flying in from Denmark therefore i plan to be away at least 1 1/2 week.

Looking forward to hear from you.
