Singapore Airlines' Check-in counter at Hong Kong International Airport.

Check-in counters are managed by SATS (Hong Kong) Limited, which provides ground handling services at the Hong Kong International Airport.

I don't know when will I have the opportunity to visit Hong Kong again. Anyway, see you soon, HK!

The new livery VH-QPJ (Airbus A330) parked next to my SQ Boeing 777-300ER.

3-3-3 seating configuration - typical seating config for B777s.

Seat Number: 45C (aisle seat)

If I travel by myself, I have no chance but to sit next to the aisle. I really want to sit on a window seat but then I need to stretch my legs from time to time and I don't want to disturb other passengers during the flight so aisle seat is my only option. 

Nice Inflight Entertainment System (IFE).

This is the New Economy Class IFE.

Singapore Airline's New Economy Class features extra legroom and personal space. In addition, there is a new backrest cushion with bolstered sides on each seat, providing extra comfort to the travellers. The 4-way adjustable cushioned headrest provides more support to the passenger's head while sleeping. Lastly, KrisWorld Inflight Entertainment in the New Economy Class has been improved by offering an 11.1-inch wide touch-screen monitor and a video touch-screen handset. There are a selection of 1,000 entertainment options including movies, television programmes, music, games and apps. On selected flights, passengers can stay in touch with their family, friends and colleagues with Internet connectivity. The New Economy Class is available on SQ's A350-900s and retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.

Mixed nuts are served before the dinner.

Special Meal order (SPML) - Low Salt Meal (LSML)

Note that the meal was prepared by Cathay Pacific Catering Services (CPCS).

I've ordered this iconic Singapore Sling.
It's special and you cannot find this drink on other Airlines' drink list.

Haagen-Dazs strawberry flavoured Ice-cream.

The interior skylight is beautiful!

Can you spot out Singapore Changi Airport (SIN)? 

This is what the captain wrote on my log sheet.

Conclusion

The captains and the rest of the flight crew were very nice! The captain invited me to the cockpit and we had a little chat. He said there's a lot of opportunities, and SQ is recruiting cadets. He mentioned that THE SKY IS THE LIMIT, and wished me Good Luck! Thank you Captain Lim and Senior First Officer (SFO) David!
