The theory was that you tap a few digits into a keypad next to the door and with a quiet reassuring shhhhh sound, the door opens, closing again automatically after 5 seconds. It never worked. After [...] My wargaming projects were interrupted a little this weekend. I had a great Saturday. I caught up with my old boss from Korea, CW, as he passed through Singapore on his way to India. A few beers and some noodles at the airport set me up nicely for the rest of the night. At 6:00 [...] In the end I did not take a number 39 bus to Pasir Ris, I caught a taxi to Sporecon 2011.
