Also, I am sure there will be local FTers who will be in Singapore early than the runners. I myself will be there earlier, and could be as early as Jan 10th/11th. I am willing to offer my services as a tour guide

Note that these FC's do not have air conditioning.
If I had to recommend just one, it would be the Chinatown Complex FC.
This area can be reached easily, by cab maybe 6 minutes from the Conrad down South Bridge Road, Maxwell Road FC by the East-West Blue MRT to Tanjong Pagar (W1) and walk up Maxwell Road and the Chinatown Complex FC by the Northeast Purple MRT to Chinatown (NE4) down Pagoda St, right on Trennganu.

^ Thank you, RestlessinReno!
Kudos to RestlessinReno for alerting us to the fare. Who knew it would turn out to be such a short window? I've bought, I've upgraded, no stress waiting at the gate for my upgrade - thank you, Mr. RReno!!

ok... i understand why. as for me and sean, well the HKG-SIN fare war is on, now that Valuair are here, but let'd just wait a while and see what else comes along, we may be doing a complex routing via KUL or BKK to save even a few more pennies..

In short V fares which we got were supposed to be Q fares that cost $200 more. V fares = 6 day stay, Q fares = 4 day stay. Amazingly these were also available during peak times in December.
