| We were searching the web for information on IPCS on a budget. That took a lot of time as there wasn't any consolidated web site - leading to this brainstorm of setting up our own web site. Our main aim is to source for places of interest on budget. Places where we do not have to spend exorbitant amount for a leisure weekend with the children. If you have places that you would like to recommend, please feel free to email us at With Warm Regards, Sheryl, Jaya & Lek Hong |

| Changi Airport is the busiest airport in the world. It is just an MRT ride away from the city area. A ride costs between S$.080 - S$1.80. (adult farecard) and S$0.40 - S$ 0.50 (child farecard). Children will enjoy exploring the two Terminals and see the planes land & take-off at the viewing gallery. There are a number of eating places located there. Meals will not be a problem. Check out the above website for more information. |

| Free entry into the History Museum every Friday from 6.00 pm to 9.00 pm. Bring your children. Spend some time in MPH (one of the oldest bookstore in Singapore) earlier in the day and stop by McDonald's at YMCA for dinner before adjourning to the museum. |
| For those interested in the Arts or a trip by the Singapore River, come to The Esplanade. The first theme library, Library@esplanade is located on Level 3 of the Esplanade Mall. There are plenty of retail shops to browse through even if you do not intend to make any purchases. You could also plan for a picnic by the river ! |

| Located next to the Singapore Science Centre, it is the first permanent snow centre on the tropical island. Admission rates are generally not low. Look out for attractive promotions as we gained entrance once for only S$4 per entry. What fun it was to have a snow fight and to try out various styles of sliding down the snow-covered slope ! |
|
| Shopping or rather window shopping is one of our favourite activities. A number of shopping centres are providing free shuttle services in an attempt to attract more people. These centres ocassionally organise free exhibitions (hobbies, health, education etc) and TV contests. Shopping Centres Shuttle Services Jurong Point Boon Lay MRT Station, Jurong West area & NTU Canteen 2 IMM Boon Lay, Jurong East & Clementi MRT Stations |
