Try pulau ubin, technically still in Singapore but it's a small rural island.

Relatively undeveloped. You can get catch a bus to Changi Village and then take a boat across. Cycling around the island is fun.

Another alternative is Johor Bahru for cheaper food/shopping or the exploring the surrounding area.

May want to consider flying to East Malaysia - Kota Kinabalu, Kuching. Flights quite reasonable and you can get good hotel deals.
You should try the white water rafting in KK. It's awesome!

If you dont want to fly - try places like Melacca.

Nothing much in Batam dude. First that comes to mind is Sleazy. No pun intended but that is how i see it.
Visit Kuala Lumpur or Bali if u wanna have a short getaway from rustle bustle singpore.....and yeah....love the beach in Bali and shop,eat,party in KL.

Pulau Hantu, aka Ghost Island? You mean Singapore's solitary dive site, with pea-soup visibility and scenic vistas of container ships?
