This brings flying to a whole new level…

Posted by jaronliu on June 5, 2009

I have started reading flyertalk alot since about 2 years ago and I am really glad to have join FT – brought me numerous good travel deals. I am also exposed to crazy MRs (mileage runs) and now a LAX-SYD itinerary over 3.5 days no longer amazed me.

However, I came across this read and I must say he really brings flying to the next level – check it out.

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/singapore-airlines-krisflyer/944907-will-possible-me-purchase-skysuite-my-bedroom.html

It’s about time for me to replace my mattress, but I thought that rather than throw down a couple of grand on a California King I might try and purchase an SQ Skysuite for my bedrooom. I love flying in F on the 744 so much that I’d actually like to simulate the experience by sleeping in my own F seat every night of the week. Obviously I won’t be able to replicate the whole F experience, not unless I hire a private chef and ask him/her to wear an SQ outfit and hand me an amenity kit 30 minutes before I switch the big light out, but the seat will be enough for now. I’m not bothered about the TV screen, but I want the full recline, all the knobs and levers etc. Is it even possible to buy these from SQ? I’m only interested in the 744 Skysuite, not the A380 Suite (I don’t need the sliding doors in the middle of my bedroom; that would just be absurd). I’ll be grateful for any suggestions as to whom I might contact at SQ.

Summer School @ Capo Caccia

Posted by jaronliu on May 29, 2009

Its really nice to be able to go for conferences at super nice location. Capo Caccia is a small village in Sardegna and the waters there are really spectecular. End May is perhaps the best season to be there – warm but yet quiet without crowds! We stayed at Hotel Capo Caccia – the rooms are so so but food is pretty good, loads of fish/meat everyday.

Anyhow, the summer school was great – got to learn quite abit of T-cells, B-cells, and DCs. I think the best part of the school was interaction. Talking to the profs and tutors over meals, while walking, over a pint of beer, or at the beach is pretty cool. Interactions with students was perfect too, I had great fun meeting with Germans, Spanish, Czech Repulic, Italians (of course), SGers (10 of them!), Norwegians, Swedish, French, and many more. There was like 27 countries or so…

Posted by jaronliu on May 21, 2009

Trip to Athens was quite uneventful… Hotel was okie, food was okie, and weather was perfect. Would hope to go to Santorini when got cash, Aegina (the one near Athens) is not exactly very nice.

1 day in London City

Posted by jaronliu on May 19, 2009

We did the typical 1 day London City tour visiting all the must-sees. Anyway, to me, London city is like not part of Europe – maybe coz everything is in English, everything is relatively new, alot of different races/people, international food cusine, modernized, drivers seat on the right, etc… I hope to be back one day to visit the countryside of UK!!!

Singapore Day @ London

Posted by jaronliu on May 17, 2009

Long overdue post but take away point is SG day rocks – finally able to get some of the taxes paid to our gahmen. Free food, drinks, goodies pack, t-shirts, performances, cds, caps, etc. The gahmen really did spent alot of on this event. The take home message of this event is as Jack Neo puts it very nicely, Sg is changing, our gahmen is changing, there is more freedom, and feel free to return home.

The setup of the event was actually quite nice – ERP gate entry (with beep) at the entrance, food are categorized into diff sections e.g. lao pa sha etc. We had (everything in timespan of 5 hours) chicken rice, bak ku teh, rojak, char kuey teow, nasi, satay, muah chee, chill crab, kuay chup, or ni, curry puff, or bi bur – there alot many other food but we either had no space for it or the que was too long. Performances was also perfect with Jack Neo/Mark Lee, Dimsum Dolly, Broadway Beng, and of course MRBROWNSHOW!!!

Finally… Napoli

Posted by jaronliu on May 16, 2009

First impression – dirty and indeed the people have these “thief head thief face” look. Everywhere you can see papers, cartons, plastics, etc – hard (and probably don’t want) to imagine the times when mafia ordered all nation’s rubbish to be placed in Napoli! We also saw 2 pickpockets while twice on the bus – one of them in action right in front of us!

We didn’t actually spent much time in Napoli, just walk around a little and eat pizza there – think its good enough to have a feel of the city.

Capri and its waters

Posted by jaronliu on April 23, 2009

About 80 euros round trip to go there from Naples but every cent is worth it. The waters and the scenery are just so beautiful. Weather was good, waters are blue, and sun is shining. We did all the touristy thing except going to the blue grotter because the sea was too rough.

The port itself is nice liao
