Have planned to go there on my own.
Hihi, u can take public transport like bus and mrt (train). I wld not encourage u to taxi as I dun find them cheap as a S'porean myself.
Parking is limited in town area so the best is still bus or mrt.
U can chose to stay near shopping malls near mrt stations like orchard, sommerset, cityhall so u are always walking distance for shopping.
If u want to go sentosa, just take mrt to Harbourfront mrt station. From habourfront, it's just 2 mrt stops from chinatown, and 1 more stop to clarke quay. The next stop from clarke quay is Dhoby Ghaut mrt station and the station itself interchanges to Orchard. All link and easy. U won't get lost taking mrt.
Zoo and Bird Park are not walking distance to mrt stations.
