In Topic: The Journey of a Lifetime (Singapore Airlines' B747 retirement flights)

Just before entering the aerobridges, flight attendants handed out goody bags to every passenger. As you can see below, yours truly received his few seconds of fame (appearing in the footage of the news coverage by the local news channel).
The four pilots were treated as celebrities, and attention was never far from them even after we landed back in Singapore later that day. Apparently, all four of them were captains, which left me wondering: Who's REALLY in charge?
Next, they carried out their mandatory preflight inspection, sincerely hoping everything was in perfect condition. No, the jumbo just couldn't afford to fail us. Certainly not on its final journey.
At door L1, I was warmly greeted and directed towards the stairs to the iconic Upper Deck where my seat, 18C awaited. As you can see, there were even reporters onboard the flight (Once again, I do apologise for this blurry picture. There were many other passengers behind so naturally the pressure was on me)
Once upstairs, I could immediately understand why this beloved Upper Deck was so popular with regular travelers. The exclusivity was simply amazing. A wide array of international and local newspapers were on offer, along with the special souvenirs such as playing cards, postcards etc.
I chose the only remaining Upper Deck seat although it wasn't a window seat. Just hoping for a seatmate who's kind enough to swap with me.
Finally, I had arrived at my seat. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: The SpaceBed. The design may be 10 years old, but it's still one of the best in the skies if you ask me. The gentle purple colour creates such a soothing atmosphere, and goes well with the colors of the cabin crew uniforms.

Breakfast was served, and waiters came around every couple of minutes ensuring that everyone had a drink in their hands.
There were so many people with cameras surrounding them that it made even Business passengers feel unimportant. Vice President, Marketing Department Director, Chief Spokesperson, First SIA B747 captain, Madame Tussauds Muesuem Stewardess.... The list was endless.
First up, a speech by the Vice President of the SIA Group. Sorry for the disappointing pictures that follow.
Followed by the entertaining cabin crew all dressed up as they dance to the hits of the 70's, 80's and 90's, which depicts the 747's journey through the decades.
"I'm glad you came" by The Wanted was played as the VP sounded the gong, marking the start of the boarding process. What a fitting song, I thought.
