For beers, just "go with the flow."
I'd suggest that those interested in such (bbq is likely, as opushomes suggests, and chicken dishes) band together to form a just-say-no-to-fish-abuse table - vegetarians might have to be included to make a quorum. I'll say this will be one of the few occasions when I'll not be eager to dine with lili. As far as not eating at all goes, don't plan on getting off cheap. Some concession will be made, I'm sure, if you don't eat, but imagining that your bill will be 0 is a foolish fond old wish. I'd also suggest if there are multiple noneaters that you should spread themselves out to be no more than one or two at a table - if more, you will be cutting down on the food variety at that particular table, a behavior that should be penalized! Sunday night's restaurant is Chinese, but the beef dish and fried chicken are IMO outstanding (and do not taste particularly Chinese). They also offer numerous vegetarian and meat dishes. Noodle and rice variations are available. If nothing else, you can drink beer while we watch the garbage truck working on the street outside. I doubt that they have wine, but I bet if one brought at bottle or two and an opener, they would let you use a mug to drink it. Please follow his succinct comments about paying. Mahasamatman, if I speak for him in his absence and I agree completely. It is not worth becoming a FT pariah for lack of a few Singapore Dollars thrown into the kitty. Jumbo has verified that my receipt for my never-received Jumbo card is sufficient to get our 10% discount. BTW: expect Elaine, in addition to the others already mentioned (Juna and Erik) to be working on Saturday night. The reservation is under "FlyerTalk". Five tables at this point.

However, I can assure those of you interested in Boat Quay beers that AT LEAST WWBGD and I will be at the Thai place with Tigers in tow. ;) :D
It is approximately half way down the Quay, and YES, we will likely have made special arranagements prior to Violist's arrival. ;) Dave

Really looking forward to my first DO -- and apologies if this is not the best place to post the following:
Anyone interested in a long walk or hike on Saturday the 16th? could meet up anywhere. Long walk = 5 or 7 miles (+/-), trails or urban walk ok, not hiking boots or roped climbing :D . Thanks, -C Take MRT to Harbour Front, exit D. Take Bus 10,30,57,61,65,80,93,100,131,143,145,161 or 300 to the start at Mount Faber Park. If anyone wants a copy of the map, I can send you a scan (or fax) if you provide your real e-mail or FAX number. I've had this map for almost a year, but did not post the information for two reasons. 1. 5km between beers is not reasonable. :D 2. Most attendees only bother to read the final two weeks posts. :) |

Thought I should clarify my earlier post on the other thread re the SAT night dinner. I do NOT plan to turn up at DINNER while everyone is eating and NOT eat.
My hope or plan was to come towards the very end of dinner to join up with some friends in the hope of continuing on to either an IC RA party ;) or some other after dinner events, whatever they may be. I am a social being, after all :p. Rest assured, I do NOT plan on eating anyone's share of peanuts or using anyone's wipes, bibs, drinks or anything else for FREE :eek: :D. As I will be having a large Hilton buffet HIGH TEA during the day, I will not be needing a big dinner as well. Thanks for doing the lists, Opushomes - its fantastic ^. |
I'll be at dinner Sat and Sun.

I will be attending the SIN Do, arriving on UA 875 at 00:20 on Sat. Jan. 16th. (That upgrade better clear :D). Will folks still be at the Hawker Stalls at that hour? Haven't decided on a hotel yet, but better do something soon or will be sleeping in the streets of Singapore.
Noelene, what the heck is a fishspa? Is it like aromatherapy or something? Do I still get first dibs on the minibar at the IC? BTW, I owe you a birthday drink. Sounds like the party was festive:D Plan on attending dinner on Sat. & Sun. |
