My local phone number in Singapore is now active.

please dail 96877993 if you cannot find me for the lunch today or walk tomorrow.

Ok I'm joining the darkside :) I guess I'll have to wait for April to experience SQ again. Anyhow as SanDiego1k said they didn't like our tickets at SQ so now we're on CX J!

violist is in Changi - may try to meet the CX people on arrival.
If so, of course, I'll miss lunch. Will try also to call miles4all
on the phone # that has so kindly been posted.

Cheers,
Michael

Wow. In SIN at Conrad.
 

I watched from SMF as UA 869 was being delayed. I looked at the flight arrival time yesterday while at SFO and was hoping UA would hold the flight to SIN. I was lamenting eating alone with my arrival (Saturday) this morning into SIN on SQ1 in F. So I am at the Conrad in SIN awaiting the rest of the contingent. Thank goodness I was not on that flight. Hope everyone makes it in for dinner. Regards from SIN.

Just enjoyed having lunch in Little India with miles4all et al. The mango juice took a little getting used to though! Sorry to hear about the delays for the SFO-HKG folks. I talked with SanDiego1K and jan_az at the SFO RCC Thursday. (I'm glad I took the SFO-NRT-SIN flight. :) ) Please post to let us know you've arrived.

by gosh, we're finally in Singapore. We thought it wasn't going to be possible after all that...

Nice service on CX.

We've arrived :) violist met us at the gate. Wireless and I are at the Sheraton now. jan_az and SanDiego1k should have made it to the Conrad by now.

Thanks Miles4All for setting up the lunch, the smell of Indian food as we arrived in the street had my appetite going (or was it because we slept through breakfast ?)

Anyhow, time for a chill out now, just been drinking in the sun on boat quay, and heck it is only an hour before we Sheraton people meet for pre dinner drinks at 6pm.

See you all later.

Folks... MikeinSIN sends his apologies for not being able to meet any of you this weekend. His step-father passed away suddenly in England and he left Singapore 2 days ago.....

Hi Guys,

Sad to hear about the sudden death.

Hope y'all enjoyed the lunch.
i will see you again at 14.00 at the long bar in the raffles hotel.

Please remember to bring a sun hat and a brully (might rain).
A bottle of water is always handy, but also available along the route.
Try to avoid wearing shorts, makes it easier getting into places.

We will take the walk slowly and i have opted for the short route!

Enjoy your dinner!!

Miles

yeah, what she said.

Perhaps I should have clarified that 730am is not the preferred time to receive such phone calls ;)

Sounded like y'all are having a great time!

Wish I was there!

Excellent dinner!!
 

Heya all!

Sorry to hear about the death. Deepest sympathies to MikeInSin...

Wow! This do is turning out to be one heck of a fun do! :) The walk in Chinatown was good. I'll remember to bring the fruit for the walk tomorrow! :)

Dinner was excellent! Thanks Mike! Stuffed to the brim. Drinks at the conrad was nice... Good to catch up with Jan and Carol! Enjoy your pampering tomorrow!!! (Or should I say later today!) and drinks at Harry's was brilliant! Thanks Graeme & Sean!! The only bit was almost dying when I thought my car was locked in the basement carpark!! Didn't relish the thought of having to grab a cab back on Sunday morning to pick it up!! (Thanks for the pic Debs!)

Am looking forward to tomorrow's walk! Catch you guys later!!!

Sweet Willie, we all missed you!!

Gaz

Absolutely Delicious Dinner !!!
 

It was a pleasure meeting everyone for dinner last evening.
Food was Absolutely Delicious !!! ..... finger lickin good ...

Thanks Mike for organising the SIN Run Do 2005. I really had a great time and looking forward to future "get-togethers".

See you guys this afternoon.

Cheers,
Faizal

p.s. for those departing today .... have a safe trip ....

wished that a certain Raiders fan hadn't gone home so early. :D

This post was not intended to offend any of the SIN-DO attendees. :)

But still....

San Demas High School Football.... er, Newton Circus Food Court RULES!!!

Thanks Gaz,

guess two MR's to SIN back to back took its toll on me. Made the mistake of lying down (for a bit I thought) at 4pm on Sat. Woke up at 9:30, grabbed some bak ku teh(sp?) downstairs in the food court beneath my hotel (Le Meridien) and slept till 4:30am when I caught my cab to SIN.

I'm here typing at one of the free internet areas and a traveler walks up and asks the question "is anyone here from Flyertalk" It was Yogi (sp?) on his way to KL.

Very sorry to all that I missed the dinner, sounds like it was a blast of which there was no doubt that it was going to be. How did the restaurant handle the 50 FT'ers and which crabs were the best, chili or white pepper?

Willie

Thanks mjm for the organize for yesterdays dinner. It was good. I only got one stain on my pants. At the SQ F Lounge at SIN for my flight to MNL. Safe travels everyone. See you soon. Regards

Mike another excellent job! Thank you for a job well done.
Sweet Willie sorry to have missed you.I would say the Black Pepper Crabs are the best and I am sure someone has a picture of why:)

Spiff and Sean the Pilot and all those late nighters sorry about leaving early.Can I blame it on Mrs PETEFLYS.

See all of those at the Long Bar at 2PM.

Great meeting you all last night and this morning.

The crabs were finger-licking great, the Tiger beers went down well and the company was the best.

Thanks to Mike for organising, traveliter for the badge and Gaz for the goodies.

Hope to meet again soon. Safe journeys everyone.

oh dear... i spent more on booze than i did on food all day - both lunch and dinner were very good value !

thanks mike for co-ordinating it all, my vote was for pepper crabs. see you all later, it is midday and am just getting up now. so no late drinks tonight, or we'll miss our flight tomorrow.

Another thanks to Mike for co-ordinating all that yesterday.

Great night and good to finally meet so many FT'ers in one go. Just bumped into seanthepilot in the Conrad lobby and he's trying to blame Spiff and cawhite60156 for the reason he looks under the weather :D .

mafbar, your friend 'J' just checked me out of the Conrad and is disappointed to hear she missed you but not surprised to hear you were taking pictures ! :D .

Safe journey everyone. In SKL at Changi for an hour and a half if anyone is around.

Thanks again Mike for organizing such a wonderful DO in Singapore.
Also to sailaway75 of course, for the lift and the nice goodies.
And more goodies from Kiwi Flyer. :D

Finally got to meet many FTers this time.
The crabs were yummy. ^

Have a safe flight back, everyone. :)

I had an amazing time meeting so many FTers last night. I'm sorry I couldn't join you all today. Thanks to mjm for putting this together, Kiwi Flyer for the little gift and everyone else for great company. I'm looking forward to meeting folks here in SIN (and elsewhere) soon! I hope those of you traveling have a good trip. Thanks again eveyone for a very successful SIN do!

Thanks Kiwi Flyer! cawhite60156 told me they were a big hit last night, and I'm sorry I couldn't attend (our flight ran late and we didn't even land at SIN until after 12:30 a.m.).

It was great getting to meet those who showed up today, though. Lunch at the food centre across from the Sheraton, a terrific walking tour led by William, then an awesome time at the Night Safari!

[BTW, I've gotten the seal of approval from Randy P. to use that talk bubble design for the buttons, so hopefully I can continue to make them for future do's). :) ]

He's not just Wireless anymore.....
 

Andrew's New Flyertalk Handle:

Disconnected Wireless Fishballs.

As we're sitting here poolside at the Sheraton finishing off some adult beverages and getting ready to dive in with Spiff's rubber ducky.....where is the 2006 SIN thread??? I could have swore I saw one earlier today or at least it was being talked about.

Thanks mjm for setting this up. See ya in a couple hours.

P.S. Where is Sean?

Wireless seems to pick up nicknames everywhere he goes. First Pickle Me Elmo...and now this! Did he hurl in anyones front lawn this trip?? ;)

Quack Quack Quack
 

The ducky's in the pool.

Which FlyerTalker is next??

mmm 'lovely' SATS Premier Lounge
 

Well it is early, and we are here in this delightful orange themed room, (sean, myself and debbie) and just hope we get a nice breakfast on this flight !

Thanks to all, have great flights home..

A new way to minimize jetlag?
 

Well some people slept last night (okay, just for a few hours) ... but me, I just need to stay awake for another hour until I'm comfy in that C seat with my name on it so I can pass out for a few hours.

Well ... SQ couldn't check me in this early, because they haven't yet
opened the special security line for US travel ... so here I am in some
deserted corridor above T2 where I've found a hotspot (not a freebie,
but what can you do) ...

Sorry to miss everyone at the SATS lounge, but it was fun greeting
everyone at the UA C line. Hope you don't get extra security for
associating with a lowlife like me.

Thanks to mjm, miles4all, sailaway75, Kiwiflyer, and all who helped
make this a weekend to remember (pretty much everyone, I'd say).

See you all next year if not earlier.

ML

solo at nrt
 

Well, my flight arrived on time at NRT and I am just loitering around the Signet Lounge. Kinda bummed that I left a tad early before the 5am allnighter crew.. but if my JFK flight is oversold, I will be sure to happily bump to an afternoon departure !..

Had a wonderful time as usual and look forward to seeing you guys soon (as well as meeting new FTers!). ---glen

I'm currently at Changi, my stuff is upstairs in the SQ Raffles lounge, and I am using the 'free PC's' on the main level, so if anyone is around just let me know. I'll echo everyones sentiment and say ....as usual, a great time was had by all!. ^ Thanks so much to all who organized this event, and hope to see everyone real soon. :cool:

We Want Photos ... We Want Photos!!

missydarlin -- make sure to ask Cheryl to post the photo from the Night Safari of Skye1 and Wireless riding little springy horsies in the playground.

well that was a quick trip..
 

not only was our flight on time, but i got to have a breakfast date with the lovely jan_az, whilst sean watched the movie.

it was all so on-time, that it is nearly midday and i am at my desk in the office already. shocker. see some of you again soon, and here's to next year..

Cheryl... please post the springy horsie photo :)

Does it look like THIS??



Did anyone get photos of the Foady skinnydip incident? :D

Oh yes, a springy horsie like that!

The UA SIN-NRT-xxx contingent has safely arrived at the RCC. We had 11 FTers on our flight - mjm, cawhite, bseller, wireless, kluau88, GoingAway, WBDG, restlessinRNO, seanthepilot, Indo79 and me. Sean slummed in biz for 5 minutes near the end, mjm refused to sit in the mini-cabin, and a good time was had by all.

mjm has peeled off; he is home - and the rest of us fan out across the UA globe to BKK, SFO, LAX, ORD and JFK.

Leaving SIN
 

Came in a couple hours ago from MNL on SQ. Had lunch with a fellow FT and now in the SQ F Lounge charging the computer just in case no inseat power again. Regards from still in SIN.
