First SQ Exp. Is it always this bad?

Hello all,

I had the chance to take my first flight on SQ a couple weeks ago and was extremely disappointed with the service on board. I admit that this was only an hour flight (SIN-PEN), but I still expected more that what I got.

The plane(777) was only about 40% full so we were seated toward the back so that my two friends and I were able to spread out. Headphone's were not in the seats, but I didn't ask because I kept thinking that the crew would hand them out shortly. It never happened.

When the first cart went by I asked what soda's she had. She answered that she didn't have any even though the cart had both Coke and 7Up on it. Five minutes later I noticed that a cart in the far aisle was going by with both Coke and 7up on the top. I raised my voice and asked across the plane if I could get a Coke or 7up(our section of the plane was virtually empty). He nodded a "Yes" to me and a couple minutes later brought carbonated water. I stopped the third cart that came by and this time directly asked if I could have a coke. This FA complied and poured a coke into a glass for me.

I was shocked that we got a hot edible cheese bread like substance for our one hour flight, but I've had better on most USA operated airlines

I was, however, blown away by the entertainment choice available on board. One of my friends and I played battleship and trivia during our one hour flight.

Should I have expected more for my 1 hour flight?
