Might HI it up for the stay credit that night and IC from the 14th.

Not sure about the PreDo, tho I am keen to visit Changi Prison Museum, there are tours in English at 11am and 2pm, so if anyone wants to go too, thats great, I understand its excellent
Done, but I left out the Holiday Inn since you are unsure and it probably is not important unless others are staying there that night. Maybe, I missed it since LarryU and I did not go through all 400 posts to extract the information, but what are your intentions in respect to the dinners? Please let me know.

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!
violists comments are spot on. I've already stated that Jumbo will work with you to meet any distinctive menu needs. Unfortunately, they do not have a copy of the entire menu that they can send. Yes, they have chicken, the can prepare shrimp with butter or cheese. MarshaB, my wife, learned from experience that the butter shrimp are not what your palate expects. In Singapore, "Dominos Delivers!". No one is going to starve.

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.

It is approximately half way down the Quay, and YES, we will likely have made special arranagements prior to Violist's arrival.

Have you and B decided on a start time?

Long walk = 5 or 7 miles (+/-), trails or urban walk ok, not hiking boots or roped climbing .

Thanks,

The amazing race went to Mount Faber Park. The Singapore Tourist Bureau provided me with a map for an approximately 5 km. hike (maybe longer as they not are high on factual data) through Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park and Kent Ridge Park. It includes a hilltop walk, forest walk, flora walk and canopy walk. violist offered another more jungle walk. The botanical garden is also good for walking. Paved.

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.
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 .

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 . 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 think that is likely going to be a plan that others will adopt as well. The HighTea buffet makes good sense, but I expect that getting to the dinner as it is breaking up will allow for everyone to find their options open.

Glad to hear you're going to make it on Saturday at some point!

As with all things SIN DO related, it is "up in the air type" of thing. Our recollection is that the start time has been 2 or 3PM in the past couple of years. I hope that helps!!

Had a few other things in the works, but travel usually wins - especially when it's with my FT friends!

I will be attending the SIN Do, arriving on UA 875 at 00:20 on Sat. Jan. 16th. (That upgrade better clear ). 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

Plan on attending dinner on Sat. & Sun.
