The plane touched down at 5:00 AM and rolled up to the gate at Terminal 3 at 5:05 AM. Changi was quiet, and I was through immigration and customs and inside a taxi by 5:15. By 5:30, I'd reached home and by 6 AM I was showered and in bed.

At 11 AM, my alarm clock rang, and I ran off for an hour of errands and came back just in time to see Z climbing out of a taxi with her rollaboard. Tomorrow was her birthday, and I'd booked award flights to Bali for us in economy... or so she thought.

Unusually enough, I was looking forward to the airport more than the flight itself: this marked my first visit to the spanking new Singapore Changi Terminal 3, officially opened just a week earlier. Aviation geek that I am, I'd already had a sneak peek in the pre-opening "open house", but this was my first time venturing into airside.

Suddenly I thought: wasn't coming to this place the reason I had continued on my journey for so long? I was brought here by a countless series of coincidences. Those coincidences did not need a word like "god" to explain them; no, it was just the wind, the water, the light, and yes, the buses. Thanks to public buses I was brought here...

One year had passed since my incorporation, and with the annual report out and a fairly healthy-looking balance sheet, it was time to dig a hole in it. Plan A was Italian-Indonesian fusion joint Buko Nero, but getting a reservation there remains impossible and my virtual secretary had pasta coming out her ears anyway, so we opted for Le Tonkin, a recently opened French-Vietnamese place on Mohamed Sultan.

Ever since I came to Singapore, I've kept hearing about Chikuyotei for two reasons. First, it's Singapore's only Japanese restaurant that specializes in eel (unagi), a dish that is quite difficult to prepare properly. Every now and then, hope has overcome bitter experience and I've tried my luck elsewhere, always ending up with a slab of boney, fishy rubber coated with excessive amounts of sauce.

'Twas the night before Christmas, which made for a pretty good excuse to visit my favorite restaurant in Singapore, Halia. The name means "ginger" in Malay, and not only is this probably my favorite root vegetable, but in my book this place just has it all: a beautiful outdoor location in the jungles of the Botanic Gardens, an atmosphere as laid back as the smooth jazz they play, prices that burn only moderately severe holes in your wallet, and last but not least, consistently grrrrrrreat food.

The problem with flying business class is that it's usually too darn expensive, but yesterday I found a way to get myself and a friend into an exclusive lounge and then a plush, spacious, high-tech controllable reclining seat with a hostess available at the touch of a button and a humongous screen showing the latest in Hollywood entertainment, all for just S$30 (that's around US$20) per person. The catch?
