For the past many occasions, I have been in a position where I stood infront of the water dispenser to get some water, just to realised that its absolutely empty (yes, even the reserve tank is empty), and no one bothers to change or inform others.
Look. IF YOU FUCKING FINISH THE BOTTLE, CHANGE TO A NEW BOTTLE. IF YOU ARE TOO WEAK, INFORM OTHERS TO HELP!
And the best part is, even the reserve tank can be empty! This shows that the person who came after the fella who emptied the tank, cannot be bothered to tell others or change as well.
Its not that I cannot just keep quiet and change to another bottle… but the thing is, after I change, I do not get the hot water! The reserve tank is empty, making it impossible to boil water! And I have to fucking wait for another 10-20mins!
What selfish bastards are those? And to think that I am working with them day in, day out…. nah beh…
And you, fellow colleagues of mine, who are reading this, if you are one of them…. tiu lei ler…..
Students now-a-days are so incorrigible!
So I was trying to get up the bus this morning to get to the Interchange, and this fella, stood at the rear door, leaving the back of the bus absolutely empty of standing passengers. There were at least another 10 person trying to get up the bus. And surprisingly, no other passengers go past him to get to the back! All just stood there like dorks!
The bus driver stood up, and asked people to move in, and no one bothers. So the bus driver told us: “Sorry, I have to close the door”.
That pissed me off and I screamed to those at the back “EH! CAN MOVE IN ANOT?”
And you know what? The student (yes, 100% student! wearing secondary school uniform!) stared at me, like he would stab me with a knife if he has one in his hands right now.
Just then, right behind me, a chao ah beng shouted “Siong! Li Siong Similanjiao? Lan pa dua, buay kia lor ah? Go mai lip ki, lim peh eh ka dan li!”*
*translation:
Singlish: Stare! What cock you staring at? balls too big cannot walk ah? Still dun move in, your father, me, wait for you downstairs
English: Stare! What are you staring at? Testicles too big to walk? I will wait for you down the bus if you still refuse to move in!
And he turns to me “Thanks for doing that, I have been the one screaming most of the time” IN PERFECT ENGLISH!
He has tattoo on both his arms, shoulders, and has a pack of cigarette on his shoulder, typical Ah Beng lah. But his kind of Ah Beng.. I respect!
So coming back, after his shout, the student moved in, and the rest got up the bus. And we moved on with our lives…
But still…. what the fuck the wrong with that student siah?!
I have been having a bit of a dizzy spell recently, and the doctor deduced that it is caused by my balancing system in my left ear.
So, I was sent to the Ear Nose Throat (ENT) centre at SGH for checkup.
I was told that they need to do a scope up my nose, and so, I was given a shot of crack into my nose.
Yes…. COCAINE…. the real thing babe….
The supposed to numb the nose so that the scope wun hurt that much when entering.
It sure numb my nose.. and my throat as as well… and let me tell you… COCAINE TASTE AND SMELL REAL BAD!
I am wondering how can addicts actually consume it.
Anyway, the scope was done, and to my surprise, I get to see everything, where the the probe is going, and it sure is not a comfortable feeling.
The Doc took some pictures, and gave me a a souvenir.
So, how much to get legal crack in Singapore? $204 per pop man! (thats the bill for the scope).
This post is inspired by ’s recent posting on aviation.
Since young, I too, like Synapseman, have been totally amazed by aviation, be it commercial or military aircraft. I have even had an ambition of being a pilot, but alas… too f*cking fat to fit into the cockpit lah. So now, I keep up with my dream in Flight Sim.
Anyway, the Concorde has been an aircraft that interests me very much. And having SIA using one of these fella had generated even more interests in me. But I was too young to have seen the concorde arrive and take off at Paya Lebar Airport.
Below, is a short history of the Concorde in Singapore.

British Airways – Singapore Airlines joint services
1977-1980
Since Air France and British Airways had been denied landing authorizations at John F. Kennedy airport by the Port Authority of New York both airlines were searching for routes to operate their Concordes on. An important and lucrative market to BA, besides North America, was Asia and its former colonies, such as Singapore (SIN), Hong Kong (HKG) and the ‘Kangaroo Routes’ to Australia – more specifically Sydney (SYD) – where 747-200s making the long journey had to make two stop-overs.
During the route proving flights, before entry into service, a great deal of flight time was spend on trips to the Far East and Australian in preparation for Concordes eventual use on these routes.
The first step of a Concorde route to South-East Asia and Australia was the inaugural BA Concorde flight between London – Heathrow (LHR) and Bahrain (BAH) on 21 January 1976 by G-BOAA
Unfortunately, the route was mainly overland, forcing the Concorde to fly at subsonic speeds on large portions of the LHR-BAH flight. But the aircraft still managed to save around two and a half hours over the regular flights with a M.95 cruise speed during these segments. The supersonic operations over the Saudi desert had to be dropped after some complaints from nomads whose camels reportedly stopped breeding because of the supersonic boom!
The choice of Bahrain as stop-over for the Concorde operations was due to the ideal location en route to South-East Asia. Furthermore the engines had an improved performance at 55-60,000ft, where the air is colder around the tropics. The better conditions could add up to 200 more miles range to the aircraft with 75 passengers on board
On 26 October 1977, BA and Singapore Airlines announced an agreement for a thrice-weekly Concorde service between London and Singapore via Bahrain. On 09 December 1977, BA and Singapore Airlines started a service between LHR and Singapore – Paya Lebar via Bahrain, bringing the travel time to only 9 hours.
This service basically was a very early form of code share/alliance between both airlines. The technical crew and operations were supplied by British Airways while the flight attendants were 50/50 between the two.
BA had battled hard with the Indian government to gain the approval to fly supersonic over the country, which the Concorde was forced to avoid, adding more flight time and increasing the fuel consumption. The Indian government had demanded that in exchange Air India (AI) would get more slots and 5th freedom rights at LHR.
The Concorde assigned to the Singapore route was G-BOAD (c/n 210), The airplane was easily identified, as it had been repainted with the Singapore Airlines’ livery on its left side, while BA’s was kept on the right side.
The Singapore – Bahrain leg against the headwinds was sometimes payload-restricted because of the temperature at Paya Lebar Airport, even though the Concorde could accelerate straight after its take-off to M2.02.
The service was withdrawn on 13 December 1977 after only 3 return flights, because of complaints from the Malaysian government about the supersonic boom over the Straits of Malacca, on the West coast of Malaysia. But in the summer of the same year, Malaysia Airlines plans of further capacity increase on the London route were denied in order to protect BA and Cathy Pacific, causing a clash between the Malaysian and British governments. In addition to these difficult relations, Singapore Airlines was a tough Malaysian competitor.
Even though the service was not running the aircraft kept the Singapore Airlines livery during this time, giving them a free adverts as the aircraft was utilised on other routes, including flights to the USA
On 24 January 1979 the service was resumed with new routings avoiding Malaysia and a recommended take-off from runway 02 at SIN to avoid flying over the Malaysian state of Johore.
The service was ended for good on 01 November 1980, mainly because of falling traffic on the route, which was reportedly losing around £2 millions a year. The loads had been very low, especially on westbound flights. The operations, especially at subsonic speeds, were extremely expensive, demanding load factors that could not be achieved.

Latest update – 11th June
The finale of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee weekend, on June 4th 2002, was a fly past that included 27 aircraft from the Royal Air Force and a Concorde from British Airways
The Flypast, which took place at 18:20, was watched by Members of the Royal Family from the balcony of Buckingham Palace, while over one million well-wishers packed the Mall and surrounding streets for one of the most passionate displays of pageantry the UK capital had ever witnessed in modern times.
The Jubilee Flypast was one of the many highlights of a day that had seen the Queen journey to St Paul’s Cathedral in the Gold State Coach for a thanksgiving service. In the afternoon the Queen returned to the Mall to watch, from a specially constructed platform on the Queen Victoria Memorial, 20,000 people take part in a 50th Anniversary parade and pageant which featured people from all over the UK and the Commonwealth.
Concorde Alpha Delta departed from London’s Heathrow airport just after 4:30pm and headed for the designated Concorde holding point above the North Sea off the coast of Great Yarmouth. Click to see a graphic of the chart for where the Concorde holding point was.
Concorde G-BOAD had several Red Day-Glow formation stickers placed on her fuselage, as can be seen in the picture, to assist the Reds in keeping in the set formation. The aircraft, which was Commanded by BA Chief Concorde Pilot Mike Bannister, meet up with the RAF Red Arrows and flew in towards the centre of London with the other aircraft in the formation.
The full formation included:
RAF Graphic – Crown Copyright
C-17 Globemaster
TriStar with two Tornado GA4s
E3 Sentry with two Tornado F3s
VC10 with two Jaguars
Nimrod with two Canberras
BAe 146 with two BAe125s
Eurofighter (Typhoon)
Concorde in formation with the Red Arrows
The Fly past was scheduled to be over Buckingham Palace at 17:55 but due to the scale of the events taking place had to be delayed by 30 Minutes. The Red Arrows left Stansted at 1739 to meet up with Concorde at the holding point off the Norfolk coast.
After formating over the North Sea the formations pasted over the coast line at Southwold just after 6pm and headed Overhead Ipswich, Chelmsford, Fairlop Waters Country Park and north east of Ilford before flying into Central London. At 6:25PM the flypast fleet flew down the Mall then over Buckingham Palace at a height of 1,500ft and at a speed of 280Knots.Click to see a graphic of the chart for the flight path into London and a seperate one for the flight path over London are available.

The head of the fleet, including the Globemaster, Tristar and VC10 routed back to RAF Brize Norton, with the BAE146 of the Queen’s flight and BAE 125s touching down at RAF Northolt.
As soon as Concorde was clear to the flypast she climbed to 2,500ft, picked up the ILS localiser and arrived 5 minutes later at London Heathrow on Runway 27R. The Red Arrows returned to their Base at RAF Scampton, passing near to Hertford, St Neots, Thurlby, Corby Glen and Grantham.
This was the first time Concorde has been used in its flagship role since the fleet were grounded following the Paris accident in July 2000. Before the accident around 1% of Concorde flights were in that flagship role, which have included flying the England Football and European Ryder cup teams to tournaments as well as politicians to world summits.
A Concorde has flown in formation with the RAF Red Arrows on 6 previous occasions, with the last being at the Royal opening of the Scottish parliament in 1999: Concorde G-BOAE, on that occasion, had been chartered by the UK government to ferry dignitaries in style from London to Edinburgh. Since the aircraft was positioned at Edinburgh Airport, a fly past was scheduled to take place with the Red Arrows who had been booked previously. As well as flying over Edinburgh, the formation transited the 60 miles and flew over Glasgow. From more details on the previous times that Concorde has flown with the team see the Red Arrows and Concorde flight log

There was a rehearsal of the Jubilee Flypast on Wednesday May29th overhead RAF Marham in Norfolk. It consisted of all 27 aircraft including Concorde and the RAF Aerobatics Team – The Red Arrows. The Eurofighter was replaced by an RAF hawk trainer for the Rehearsal
The formation formed up at approximately 3.30pm off the coast of Southwold, Then ran in towards RAF Marham at a height of 1,500 feet and at a speed of 280 Kts. The first Aircraft, the C17 Globemaster, was above RAF Marham at 3.55pm, with the other aircraft taking around 10 minutes to pass.
The formation routed south of Norwich, Old Buckenham, Shropham, to the south of Watton, and south of Swaffham, adjacent to Cockley Cley and directly over RAF Marham giving the local residents and other visitors who had turned out in great numbers a chance to see the formations.
Concorde along with the Reds then headed back out over the North Sea and the Wash to complete some additional practice runs. Photographs of these runs can bee seen in the pictures that follow, which were taken by Dutch aviation photographer E.J. van Koningsveld.
