aka the "OMG why isn't my flight here yet?" - place
though it still took...
and did I mention food?
and here we are at the transit holding area
which occupants have yet to mount, evolve and be delivered over...
the check in booth area on level 2nd (departures)
yup we are right! & free movies??
...on a wall spanning 300m in length!
not to mention how many Tasmanian Tigers & Dodos we can bring back on top of lowering the sea level with the power we save o
we have stone age stairs to go with it as well!
7 feet of retro gaming in the heart of singapore's airport and a matching tree to go with it!
theres 11 check in rows in total
you can't help but notice the carpets in the area, at least they look good on photo!
here we are the twilight departure wrap gate, but...
the the dismay of aunties all around, looks like no one can do much shopping today!
not to mention 7 floors in height and almost 63 football fields in area!
with lots of s p a c e between gates, much bigger than what I've seen built for 747s
whos your daddy?
with the exception of some modern technology...
we seem to have more trees imported from Jurassic park!
3 more plasma screens to the count and I am out of fingers already!
the whole terminal is luminated purely by sunlight in the day
again, lets see how the aerobridge slops down to so much accommodate the smaller A340.. whoooo
like this cool baggage collection area for example!
we are first to check in!

there will be tons of R&R TVs, sofas, not to mention lots of free internet access stations for ya geeknerds
more arrows which points everywhere, anywhere
a scene from 'the terminal"?
it seems that the skylight is everywhere!
our good ol' ICA in proud glory!
the departure entrance is similar to that of T2, with a 2nd level fly-over entrance for direct vehicular alighting
this system automatically adjusts the ceiling reflectos so the optimum light levels can be directed in given cloud and sun posit
and we still have not checked in yet!
here we are told more on appreciating the skylight system again
view from the counters, imagine see a horde/swarm of people coming towards you here when a A380 is emptied
noticeably is a long green wall lining the whole length of the terminal walls
another overview of the 2nd level entrance area
and heres 8 of them already!
theres even a prominent bulk luggage exit point as well.
departure UFO - whos your daddy?
littered along the terminal are large multi-coloured, multi-lingual sign boards
and more!
wait till u take a bite off it!
the place is rather well lit by the sun in the day
here are some of the few "goldfish" centralised air-conditioning towers, minimising the need for inefficient air-con d
one of the few plasma walls
another view of the long big spaces of air
