Here are ten ways of knowing you're flying on Singapore Airlines' proposed new low budget airline...

10. No boarding pass is needed – you use your EZ Link card (but do remember to swipe out when you disembark).

9. On-board drinks consist of 2 choices, Longkang Water or NewWater

8. The world-famous “Singapore Girls” are replaced my "former-macdonald aunties" (part of SIA policy to hire retirees)

7. Comfy seats have been replaced in favour of foodcourt stools (another space saving technique) , gives new meaning to "hanging on the edge of your seat" during take-off and landing.

6. There is no air-conditioning and no toilets (to maximise space) – all windows remain open throughout the flight, patrons are advised to contain bodily waste in their own bags and throw it out the window.

5. Food? Who said anything about food?

4. The planes land on Pulau Ubin, proceeded by an hour long trek to the pier (this would be shorter in the event you get chased by wild boars) followed by a 30 minute Bum-Boat ride to the mainland.

3. Inflight entertainment consist of amusing yourself with whatever you can find.

2. There is no such thing as first, business or economy class. Instead they have been renamed, Sub-Standard, Wet Market and Dog hole.

1. The planes are flown by WW2 veterans (lots of flight experience at zero percent insurance premiums!).

My Own Friday The 13th

Well "technically" it's 14th of June when it happened, a Saturday. On my way home after supper and a LONG talk with my friend, I drove back from her house suitably happy that the day went well and I just passed all my exams. Then as I locked my car door, the windows suddenly winded down by themselves!!! Ok that was around 4.30am in the morning, I freaked out. By the way, I live opposite Mount. Vernon Cemetary.

Ok so I frantically hammered away at the window close button, all but one window closed up. Great it's jammed! I called by then sleeping dad to come help me out. Never, I mean really never ever wake up your dad when his asleep and his car window won't wind down. Well, I got an earful from him, something about waking him up in the middle of the night and coming back home so late plus messing up his car. The old man just got in unlocked the safety child-window lock and pressed the button and POOF! window closed! I mean how the hell was I to know the damned Merc had a child safety lock??? My dad continued with the naggings all the way up to the house.

Talk about bad luck! It's probably gonna take a miracle for my dad to allow me to use the car again...
