  Watching the F15s and F16s perform in this manner isn't all that interesting as the maneuvers are all well within their flight envelopes.

  However, I would pay good money to watch an RSAF fly-past that included an E-2C or KC-135R doing  loops, barrel rolls, vertical climbs and simulated strafing runs, though. 

  
  This is Singapore leh....it isn't like the USAF where they really show what the fighters can do.

  I've seen an RSAF KC-135 flying at about 200 feet above sea-level though....now that's really cool.

  Don't quite get the rationale of getting ginas to join in....I went for one rehearsal and at least 3 people went down, all from the girl guides/scouts etc.

  meet up with lots of people.. then they're off to Shanghai next week while her friend and boyfriend goes back to Melbourne...

  after Shanghai, they'll be back for a few days, then off to Lombok for a scuba trip..

  after that they'll be back here.. zora and my tasks are to see if we can find a special offer trip to drag the whole family to HK for a short vacation... if not, we'll just bum around in Singapore until they go back to Melbourne...

  we may attempt to go to Melbourne at the end of the year

  The same could be said of 300....

  A small number of ultra-tough warriors vs a horde of amateurs....

  Some of the SC loonies say that the YOG should've been given to Moscow... they'd be nuts to send athletes there now with the smog from the wildfires.

  nb

  the buses are getting slower and slower.

  I took 143 from harbourfront to nus, and took 30 min

  Seriously wtf!

  When I alighted, there were 4 buses bunched up behind and a long line of angry motorists.

  The fastest we went was probably only 35km/h.
