  Take any bus (not 173)out to Upp Bt Timah Rd, change to 171 to Yishun and transfer to 39/858 to Jln Kayu then u walk in or take cab in. The journey may take about 1+ hour (inclusive of waiting time for the buses). Cost would be about $2+. If you miss 171, then i think it would be better to take taxi as taxi can go straight into SLE from Mandai, no need go Yishun so save some time.
  
  If you no time, take 171 to like Mandai Rd then change a taxi, cost of bus ride will surely be less than $2 but taxi may not be able to be hired so easily there (Depending on condition). This way is about 40 mins(play safe).

  You may take Sv 970 to Jln Jurong Kechil, then transfer to Sv 985 till Jln Toa Payoh (Os former Siong Hoe Biscuit Fty/ Trellis Twr), x-fer again to Sv 153 till Upp Serangoon Rd (Aft Serangoon MRT Srn) then transfer to Sv 103

  You may consider taking route 963 to Woodlands. Make a transfer to route 168 there, and then alight when you reach the old Jalan Kayu bus terminal (outside the old Seletar Camp gates). I don't know which point along Edgware Road are you going to, but if it is nearer to the Seletar Airport area, grab a taxi if you are really pressed for time. Otherwise, unless you are very lucky, you will have to wait more than 20 minutes for the route 103W bus (get off before it reaches the second roundabout on it's way in - ask the bus captain if you are not sure). If it's nearer to the old camp gates, I suggest that you walk in.
  
  The time taken should be around 1 hour plus - route 963 takes about 30 to 40 minutes to reach Woodlands from Hillview, and about another 30 minutes for route 168 to get to it's Jalan Kayu detour, judging by my estimates. It may be faster though - my boldest estimate (and if you are lucky enough to have near-instant transfers and drivers who speed on expressways ( )) is 40 to 50 minutes.
