We're hanging out at Changi Airport's Arrival Hall at T3. It's around 5.45pm and passengers are waiting for their luggage at the belts. A few more interviews and I hope we can have dinner. I am famished.
I am spending a full day, from dawn till late night, at Changi Airport with Ryan and a team of other folks, chatting with passengers and getting their real-life views of our airport. It is quite an eye-opener to hear such real praise.
Follow us on Twitter at the hashtag #atchangi today. The Changi Airport twitter username is @fansofchangi and mine is of course, @mrbrown.
After weeks embedded inside this project, I can finally show you what was happening at Changi Airport.
That is the official video of the fantastic event involving more than 400 dancers of all ages and races. I will have more Changi Airport Millionaire Dance videos of my own to share over the next few days.
Enjoy.
The wife and I had a lovely evening at the Esplanade, to celebrate Valentine's Day early. I know, I know, it is very early but 14th of February is also Chinese New Year this year so I thought I'd get a headstart.
Full disclosure: Esplanade arranged for this evening for us. But I will let you know my honest feelings about the food and drinks, don't worry.
We start off with dinner at Barossa. We started with their crab cakes as an appetizer. We quite enjoyed the nutty bits mixed with the generous helping of crab cakes.
Then for the main course, we had the ravioli and a half-and-half pizza. Half of it was a Four Cheeses pizza and the other half was a Kurobuta ham pizza.
I liked the Kurobuta ham a lot. Wife liked the ravioli.
We could not finish the pizza, or more accurately, we chose not to, because we wanted to make room for the dessert. So we got them to doggy-bag the pizza for us.
For dessert, it was an ice cream dish surrounded with cone-shaped marshmallows and set aflame with liquor, then doused in chocolate.
The dessert was big enough for three, really. I liked most of it but the marshmallow cones were a little too sweet for my palate.
Then it was time to have after-dinner drinks (wah so atas!) at Orgo's, on the Roof Terrace of the Esplanade. The view, I have to say, was spectacular. Our Twitter and Foursquare friends told us to try the Apple Shiso Martini and the Frozen Mango Daiquiri, and they were right, both were very good. We also had a Pomelo Martini and a Long Island Iced Tea, which is a favourite drink of my wife's.
I liked Orgo a lot. I think we'll come back again. I bet it is even nicer when there is a performance at the open air theatre below.
Esplanade is having a promotion now for Valentine's Day, check it out at their website: www.esplanade.com/vday/
When I planned this holiday Christmas giveaway with my kind sponsor, Wotif.com, I thought it would be easy to run and fun to do.
I was half right.
It has been tremendous fun doing it. But it was way way hard to judge.
I received more than double the entries compared to the last mrbrown Giveaway, via Twitter, email and even via the Comments section of my blog.
I read every single entry I received. And you guys made me laugh... and sometimes, cry. Your entries were witty, fun and in many cases, personal and touching.
But I only have one prize to give away. I wish I had more.
So the winner of this 3D2N stay at Bintan Lagoon Resort is...Tracy F.
Her entry, via email, reads:
"I want a holiday from mrbrown because I want to celebrate with my hubby for being able to triumph from a sick kidney dialysis patient one year ago to a healthy man who has nursed his kidneys back to health now."
And here is the best part. I don't know if you knew this or not, Tracy, but your husband was also thinking of you when he sent me his entry earlier. Because I received this from him:
"I want a holiday from mrbrown because it's been years since I've gone on a holiday with my wife. It's been a tough year for us as I was fighting off a kidney disease and struggling to get off dialysis, and all I want now is to be able to spend some quiet alone time with my beloved wife."
I was going to give it to him, but then I received your entry, Tracy, and I thought it would create a perfect circle to give it to you instead.
So Tracy and Eric, enjoy your time together and have a blessed Christmas.
I promised another Christmas giveaway and here it is! I am giving away a 3D2N stay at Bintan Lagoon Resort, courtesy of Wotif.com.
You will be staying in a newly renovated Deluxe Room at the Bintan Lagoon Resort, and the prize includes daily buffet breakfast for two persons, welcome drink, two-way land transfer from Bintan Ferry Terminal to Hotel, and one buffet dinner for two persons at Kopi-O Restaurant.
Total value of this prize is $1000, and the prize is usable from January onwards.
Again, I want you to tell me why I should give this holiday to you.
All you have to do is to email (mrbrown [at] mrbrown [dot] com) or tweet @mrbrown, "I want a holiday from mrbrown because..." and then your witty and/or convincing reason.
Keep it short and sharp. I will pick a winner and announce it on Christmas Eve, which is 24th December 2009. You have about two days to enter.
Send me your holiday tweets and emails now!
