Yes.

I confess, I'm not completely sure what the major draw of that pool is, but I've learned at this point to take your word for it. 8)

What about the rest of my post? Any opinion?

You're going to have to prioritize and carefully manage your time, but I suppose it's doable.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

...precisely what I stink at. :(

As someone who's done most (all?) of these activities, how would you do them, in what order? What should I cut out of the itinerary?

IMHO-I would go first to the Singapore zoo which is imo the best I've ever seen , then possibly to the bird park or botanical gardens (I was not at either but I heard they are both amazing)-I would skip the luge as it is in Sentosa Island which is semi-far out and an attraction that you could easily spend 3 days at in itself (just till you figure things out there and wait on line it can take you until its time to leave-def. not for such a short visit)-then I would head to the rooftop pool at MBS-I would skip chinatown as well (not as interesting as it's made out to be-smelly, a few markets -but nothing that compare to the real stuff)...

Are you being serious or sarcastic?

From the DDMS TR:

Quote
From there we walked to Orchard Road, home to literally dozens of malls.  There’s more retail shopping here than you’ve seen in your entire life.  You can’t possibly check them all out, so this is where a guidebook is helpful to determine where to go.

Any hot tips for the guidebook-deprived? Or anywhere to obtain this valuable information online, at least?

August 7-10 will be the 50 year celebration for anyone who will be there then. Looks like it will be fun.

I'm thinking about booking this..

What would be the pros/cons of that decision?
