Massage and reflexology
 

Personally I could spend the entire weekend eating crab, hanging out in the Conrad lounge and getting massages and reflexology. Maybe we can call this one the massage run :D

You have my attention
 

I have to admit the discussion of massage more than pepper crabs has caught my attention -- still thinking about this one.

This is one chicky who will be doing the spa thing in 2005. I was SOOO jealous when I heard about the fab cheap spa treatments you girls had in SIN.

Ok spa-sister, expect a full report from me sometime in the last week of May! For the meantime, lemme get my weekly Reiki treatment -- have you tried it? You should! I hope they have Reiki in Sing... but I would settle for Thai or Swedish, or maybe they have a specialty of their own in Singapore.

Spa and crabs? Wow, what more can a lady ask for?!?!

Probably a good pediculicide. Sorry, couldn't resist. :eek: :D :p

LOL!!!!!!!! Smarty pants! :p

Being a prncess, one would expect nothing less ^ :)

SIN Run 05 a.k.a. The Pepper Crab Do is a Go, Go, Go!
 

And back due to popular demand........:)

One and all definite, possible, or just simply dreaming about it FlyerTalkers, the SIN RUN 2005 or as we have decided to dub it this year the Pepper Crab Do 2005 is now in full plan mode.

The webpage is up and will be kept current. You can find it at:

SIN RUN 2004 had FTers from all over the globe arriving in Singapore with a single purpose, a major crab feast.

This year the main event is dinner on Saturday, January 15, 2004, and we are adding a second day munch in the form of a Sunday Afternoon Food Court Lunch Run hosted by our own transpac. All in all I would recommend eating light for the few days building up to this party on the equator. :)

Last year many of us met up at the Conrad for pre-dinner drinks and then shared a van (same fare per person as a taxi) to and back from the restaurant. Same again this year I am sure. Some go directly from other hotels, shopping, or sightseeing expeditions and meet at the restaurant directly. A new restaurant this year for returning Crab fans so be sure to check the webpage for a map and details of the Geylang location.

Post here if you will join, or if you just have questions or comments.

Kick off the year with a big mileage boost and join us in SIN!

See you there,

Mike

Awesome website!
 

Mike, you've outdone yourself. That website rocks!


Add me to the food court run on Sunday. transpac knows good food.

Carol,

Thanks for the kind words and you are now on the lunch list. I suspect it will be a good knosh.

Mike

Mixing our ethnic groups here are we :) - Add me to the list to please

Jan

Jan,

As you well know I am all mixed up anyway. :)

Got you on the list now. See you there.

Mike

put me down as a 'maybe'.

^

izzik,

You sir are now an official maybe. :)

Hope you can make it. Would be like old times.

Mike

I've booked my SQ in Raffles from NYC-SIN, so put me down as a YES!! :D (baring any emergency room visits caused by Hubby :p ) !! I'll send you an e mail with details.

Please list me as a "Maybe." I am considering a RTW run on SQ or SQ/CO.

Wow, are you flying on SQ's new EWR-SIN nonstop?

It's very tempting .. I might just do that if fares don't come down at all.

Yes, on the return. Outbound I'm doing JFK-FRA-SIN in Raffles, with the non stop on my return. The JFK flight leaves at 9pm, with the non stop out of EWR leaving at 11:15pm-- call me insane, but I didn't want to wait around till almost midnight for my flight out. This way I can leave work at 6 ish, and get out to JFK, as I really didn't want to work all day, come home (get comfy) then pack up and leave for the ariport!! The diff in fare was about $300 (non stop r/t was $5800). I had a credit of $4000 which was applied to the fare, so it wasn't all that bad.

Count me in
 

Right now the best UA fares ex PHX are around $1100 for a Q. I am assuming there will cheaper fares as the time draws closer.

I will be doing a 2 or 3 week trip and go to some other parts of southeast Asia.

Factor in more time at the new Virgin Atlantic Lounge in JFK. Have not been to the JFK one, but from what I've seen from other Virgin Lounges, they are really cool.

Sounds good to me :cool: I've seen some pics of the new lounge in JFK and can't wait to try it out.

Count me in!!!!! :D
 

Heya all!!

I have also recently been relocated to SIN for a 2 year project with the airport authority. So count me in for this one and I'll be happy to volunteer to help out in any organisation work required.

Also, since I'm working in the airport, let me know what info you guys need or if you need a welcome party to meet you at the gate. :)

Ski - I'll be happy to join you for a non-seafood meal...
FTers in SIN - Let's meet for drinks sometime soon... Suffering from withdrawal symptoms after leaving all those microbreweries back in YUL. :D

Forgot to add...

Great website MJM!!!!!!!!! ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

mjm - I love your website! I was sorry I couldn't attend SIN RUN 2004. I assume Jan. 15-16 is the MLK holiday weekend in the USA. Please put me on the definite maybe list. I'll be following this thread closely. I'm of course hoping UA offers something better than the current $1095.82 for RNO-SFO-SIN Jan.13-17 - but I have 8 months to keep checking! :)

Suggestion
 

Perhaps mjm would be kind enough to start a new thread? That way the website link and other details can be at the top instead of buried and hard to find (well for people like me who struggle with search function!).

No need, I added the link to mjm's webpage to my original post. ok?

Great Idea!
 

Thank you transpac. That's a great idea, to have a link to mjm's webpage on page 1. I note your first link is to the "SIN RUN 2004 DO". Might it also be useful to clarify that in your post to avoid confusion?

Sunday Food Court Run
 

For Sunday's Food Court Run I am leaning towards going to just one Food Court, to make things easier for everybody. The Food Court at Chinatown Complex is quite impressive;

Chinatown Complex Map

maybe a hundred stalls offering everything. This is easily accessible on the new purple NE MRT line, stop NE4. This complex is bordered by New Bridge Road, Smith Street, and two or three other streets ;). What do you think?

Failing that we could walk near Beach, Middle & Rochor Road and visit two or three separate spots (quite close to the Conrad)?

Please add my name to the list.

Can I do this with my air?
 

If the dreaded 6 day minimum is still in place for cheaper tickets on UA in January, is it "legal" to do this for those of us also going to Shanghai in February?

SAN-SIN/PVG-SAN

SIN-SAN/SAN-PVG

Isnt that nested?
 

But I'm with you:)

Hi sailaway

I suppose its too much to hope you can arrange a visit to parts of airport normally off limits?

As for the beer, why not pop over to NZ for a weekend? I notice SQ has a special on now and it is mileage earning at full economy rate.

Too bad this offer does not extend till next year. It's on SQ USA website.

Fly 2 for the price of 1 aboard the new Airbus A345 non-stop flight between Newark and Singapore in the comfort of our luxurious Raffles Class Spacebed.

You may fly from Newark to the following destinations on this offer: Singapore, Bangkok, Bali (Denpesar), Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, or Penang. The offer is valid for either one-way or round-trip travel. Outbound travel is valid between our June 28th launch date and August 20, 2004 with a 30-day maximum stay. Other important terms and conditions apply.

To book or learn more, please call Singapore Airlines reservations at 1-800-742-3333 or your travel agent. This offer will not be bookable through Singaporeair.com.

PETEFLYS,

Got you added to the list as a maybe and will look out for your confirmation. Will be good to see you again. Keep us posted.

transpac,

Solid call on the food court. I will watch here for definitive plans and adjust webpage accordingly or you can e-mail me anytime.

Any other takers.....

Mike

Darn..... January is no good. I have to be in Punta del Este.... :mad: Cant we do this in February...???? :D

January is Singapore, February is Shanghai, ...

Mike, Please enter myself and mrs. unagi1 as maybes...Thx

Regards,
Bob

Bob,

Got the pair of you down on the webpage now. Hope you can swing it and will look forward to seeing you there.

Mike

Count me as a maybe. I'm considering spending the winter doing a series of CMB-SFO-CMB runs on SQ in C for the PPS segments. :cool:

Mike,

Since I have never been to the far east, I am going to try to make the run with you all. January is usually my busiest time at work but if the refineries don't plan any major turnaround work, then I should be able to get over there for a week. Hope to see you there!
