Thanks for the report. I didn't notice the Serendib lounge had showers. Then again I was very tired (fell down the little step between bathroom and main part of lounge ).

Based on our transit experience, I would probably recommend actually clearing immigration and checking-in through the normal channels when connecting at CMB to a non-UL-operated flight, time permitting, as we did on our outbound journey.
I understand this is a temporary issue. SQ at CMB has changed computers and transit desk is unable to issue BP (someone goes landside to check you in). From what I've heard the transit desk computers will get the ability to check in SQ again shortly.
