  1. And growing more each and every day! It turns out my baggage is further delayed, but I intend to post later tonight anyway. At present I’m trying to figure out my options before heading out to the Singapore Air offices on Orchard Rd to ask about further compensation. But truthfully, I do that only because I think I’m entitled to do so. Whereas in reality, I’m not that upset about the whole mishap. After all, I’ve got the two best hosts in the world looking after me as I gallop across the country. :)

  2. Hi Matt,

    Welcome back to the world of laksa, roti pratas and chili crabs! I’m sure you will have a great time here again, despite the heat!

    Enjoy! :)

  3. Hello again, Doreen! Indeed I am once more in food heaven. Upon arriving I lost my luggage but again gained my appetite. In my opinion, and because I’m just easy, I feel that’s a fair trade-off.

    Maybe we will all run into each other before I depart?
