i looked up SIA's future deployment plans for the A380...sorry to disappoint you siaohui but doesnt look like the a380 will be flying to melbourne anytime soon...the A380s that are gonna be delivered to SIA next year will all be on the london-singapore-sydney route...the years after that, some of them will be flying to the US through japan...so if you want to get on the a380, you'll have to fly to sydney...i'm also looking forward to getting a chance to ride that magnificent feat of engineering but don't think i'll be able to anytime soon...

hope everyone's well! i'm having my exams in 2 wks' time and will end on the 19th...gonna have a real short winter break of 2 wks' and den sch reopens on the 3rd of jan again...boohooo...temperature has dipped below 0 since this wk and i've just endured my first (relatively minor) snowstorm of the season...snow is fun!!!
