[Ryu Shikimori]

Hmm..seems like quite a number of ppl is going to AFA'09 already~

Staying near City Hall is much easier to get access with, I would be staying at Bugis area which is just next to City Hall area, much more convenient to me to go forth and back from the convention... (might buy quite a numbers of stuff over there, so easier for me to carry back to my place if staying near...)

[SiLveR_WinG]

(wana save money 4 d concert ticket)

[inreality]

Is Suntec Convention Hall near Orchard Road? and, is it possible to take an MRT to Suntec from Orchard Road? o.o

[akiko.wolf]

makie> oh gosh! i cant resist not to go~ >__< thanks so much for the info *hugs*

inreality> i suggest you take the MRT to city hall station, and there is a walkway directly to city hall, where suntec sis located (based on previous year's experience).

[dotted.tofu]

I might be going with a couple of my friends once I can find a cheap guesthouse under the budget of SGD20 >.<

[Ryu Shikimori]

ryu>>bugis backpacker??8D~i dunno my fren book ady anot....>< hv to ask him ady....><

Nop, I'm staying at superbhub @ bugis...cost me around SGD 50 per night...although I can found a cheaper hostel/guesthouse bt considering the distance, I still willing to spend abit more rather then staying quite a far distance from City Hall...

[Nightress]

[yume-chan]

Hi, does anyone knows any hotel/inn/hostel near MRT station?

Hi, does anyone knows any hotel/inn/hostel near MRT station?

I think most of the hotel/inn/hostel are near MRT Station, mostly u just nid to walk for few minutes to reach there.

[SiLveR_WinG]

I might be going with a couple of my friends once I can find a cheap guesthouse under the budget of SGD20 >.<

With less than four days left, I thought it'd be appropriate that we blast the details of AFA09 one more time!

Mind you this is not spam but a gentle reminder of what to expect at AFA09. So do make plans if you haven't!

Incidentally, CF will have a booth there so do drop by and say hi!

i need to know one thing and one thing only.

there is NO statement that says non-ticket holders cannot enter the AFA09 concert. plus, there is an allocation in hall404 for "Public AUDIENCE" in the Concert Layout Plan:


that means i can enter with normal visitor ticket and a good binoculars right? =D

[DeidaraGS]

Yep!

[SweepingButler92]

lol looks like I'm gonna have to skip this event... ^^ I'd be stupid enough to go due to a certain national event happening this 18th(known as the "Most Easiest Certificate" XD)...

Anyone who's going, I wish you all the best at AFA and hope that it doesnt suck like a few that happened this year.. ^^;;

[yayai]

akiko.wolf > Yup, you can still see from the back, and actually it's not that far from the stage, can see clearly without binoculars :p

Anyway, anyone who still need train ticket to S'pore on Friday nite, I have 1 (or 2) ticket to sell.

[space-chan]

ooo noes..now im getting envious n envious n envious...........= =+
