Singapore Diaries, part I [Mowgli]
Hello from Singapore! I haven't posted in a while, but I'll be here in Singapore airport for the next 8+ hours and I figured I'd make a blog series of it.
The flight to Singapore was fine, about 17 hours including the layover in HK. I mainly slept and watched a string of movies. I hadn't seen The Incredibles before, that was the best part of the flight. I liked Spiderman 2, but the storytelling felt really heavy-handed at times. If they'd gone a bit more subtly I think it could have been a better movie. It's still good though. Ocean's Twelve, on the other hand, was not. I didn't even finish watching it once it got into the whole Julia Roberts playing Tess playing Julia Roberts part. Bleh. On the two hour leg from HK to Singapore I watched I, Robot, which is fun in a Cyber-Will Smith teams up with robot messiah to fight Shodan sort of way.
Something I'd never tried out before, the audio-on-demand on SIA flights is really good stuff. You can either listen to entire cds (218 choices) or pick tracks from them to add to your playlist. There wasn't much to listen to other than Franz Ferdinand, but the system was pretty tight.
That's it for the first part of the Singapore Diaries. We'll be updating in the next 2 to 4 hours with exciting news updates as I wade through the layover!
