Only authors of this blog may post new entries.
To become an author of this blog, you need to accept an invitation to become one.
Invitations will be provided on receipt of (a) a stack of unmarked bills, preferably in large deonminations, in Sing $ or US greenbacks, or (b) upon request with your email address. You will then need to accept the invitation, and then you can become an author. In either case, if you want to be discrete about it, you may make a comment on the comment link at the bottom of this message and in the body of the comment either asked for the unnumbered Swiss Bank account number or provide your email address - please put a "DO NOT PUBLISH" as the title of your comment. :-)
But you need to hurry to get in on this once in a lifetime opportunity; invitations are going out fast and once the quota for number of authors is filled you can get in on it only if someone else leaves.
Authors can add new entries, and modify their old messages or delete them, and can also allow/reject comments to their posts. They may not change the post or comment of someone else.

How to add comments to this blog
It would be nice to know if you are visiting from around the world if you leave your mark. However, the problem with most open guest books is that they are quickly filled by spambots telling you where to get insurance, mail order brides, body part and performance enhancing pharmaceutical ... which though interesting to our cohorts, pretty much drown out the comments of our friends and well-wishers.
Any legitimate comments to posts or to comments will be published after being moderated. When you click on the comments link at the end of an entry, you are taken to a screen where you can make a comment and then choose how and if you choose to reveal your identity or pen name.
If you have a Google Account (which is based on a valid email address, not necessarily a GMail address) you can associate a pen name with that account for this blog. Each time you use that Google Account, your pen name will show up, and optionally, you can display your profile. Your email address itself will not show up if you choose.
Another way is to use OPEN ID which won't be discussed further here
A third way is to just put in your name or pen name which will appear as entered with no additional information required.
The fourth way is to call yourself the famous prolific writer called "Anonymous".
All of these require that you recognize a string of distorted characters or numbers from an image - the idea is that computers will find it more difficult to recognize these than a human being. However, sometimes it is so difficult to interpret that it may b easier to write a program to check it out for you....
Additional information added Aug 2. The word recognition exercise has been temporarily suspened because some visitors could not get the image to show up. For now, you can post without showing you are not a machine

SQ1 flight from SFO to HK
Not having travelled on SIA for a while, I was pleasantly surprised at the service when compared to other airlines on international flights. Many US based carriers now charge for alcoholic beverages served during the flight. Beer, wine, and other spirits are offered free on the flight, as well as a little pack with a pair of light slippers (sockettes) and a disposable toothbrush with a tiny tube of toothpaste. Also in the restrooms, in the amenities drawers, are individual packs of disposable shavers and shaving cream, and of combs so that weary travellers can freshen themselves before leaving the plane.
As usual, the food was good, but note that on Singapore airlines there is a wide variety of special meals available, to accomodate all diets to accomodate regligious, medical, allergy, and personal dietary restrictions. In fact the number of special meals put together outnumber the number of regular meals - and it is remarkable how the special meals manage to find their correct destination in the friendly skies. And if you are traveling on Business or First Class, it appears you can preorder your meals ahead of time.
And of course, the flight attendants are all well groomed, easy on the eyes, solicitious of the comfort of the passengers, and pleasant and friendly to talk to.
In-flight entertainment is certainly plenitful, and multiple movies and TV on demand programs. Entertainment is plentiful, and for comparison, we will compare side by side the enternatinment programs on SIA and UA (on which another of our cohorts travelled) to illustrate the variety of entertainment. What is most impressive is the number of movies and TV programs on demand, which ire truly on demand so that it is possible to watch what is going on or pausing at any time, rather than waiting for the 2 hour or so cycle on which each program starts individually.
I stayed on the the aircraft while in transit, and found myself, in the company of the pretty and friendly flight attendants, many of whom took the excellent service as a given. They are not above doing the unpleasant job of cleaning the lavatories when required, and found it inconceivable that on such long flights on other airlines this was not done. I confirmed that alcoholic drinks were served at no charge on the flight.
As I write this, I find a lot of activity going on with the ground staff cleaning the plane. This is in addition to the flight attendants coming around and collecting papers and wrapping before the customers deplaned. The ground cleaning crew drag large plastic garbage bags behind them, and go from seat to seat cleaning them, and doing whatever else is necessary to refresh them, loading and unloading all the meal packs in boxes.and running. Blankets are plentyful, and in sealed clean plastic bags to show they are fresh, and replace the used blankets. The ground crew removes any of old blankets, and replaces them with new blankets, and wipes tray tables, and vacuum the floor.
The flight attendant stay in the plane as long as any passengers stay on board. A ground staff came in to check my boarding pass and passport to make sure they accounted for me, and tagged with the green sticker saying "transit". This is differnt from other situations where transit passengers leave the plane with all their belongings and go through security all over again coming on to the plane. Passengers were told they could leave their carryon baggage on the plane, carrying only their valuables with them. I chose to stay on board to avoid the inconvenience of the security checkpoints and lining up again to board.
