Majroj, this trip is going to be pretty much a city excursion, unless the
plane lands unexpectedly. And the extension cord would have to be rather long, as US appliances really don't work in Singapore outlets--different voltage. Just about anything I need I can get there, too, and come home with weird labels that will be the talk of Tumwater. So I will have the lunches and jettison appropriately...
There will assuredly be edibles in the carry-on bag, along with other amusements.

Got the coils and the pump spray, and the malaria meds,
in case we go anywhere beyond the city where they claim skeeters are not an issue. (I suppose they cane 'e when they catch 'em in Singapore: *Whack!*
Oh, yeah-- I forgot the 'bring your own buddy' rule...

Ciel, Ciel, Ciel...
What will you do for FOOD if they stick you at the end of the runway and you have to wait sixteen hours before they roll you back to the terminal? Eat your MRE's?? Those are for breakfast!!
Seriously, if you're stateside (or not) and not going into Okeefenokee or something, you can divert the money you'd spend on one touristy lunch out, spend it at a Deseret Industries or similar, and come away with a serviceable disposable (recycleable) wardrobe, maybe a George Foreman grill and/or Hot Pot, small clothes iron, extension cord, ice chest, windbreaker, etc., recoup your money eating one (or more) dinner "in" reading or resting up for your departure, then jettison it.
Don't forget your copy of "Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and a towel

Clothes???
Toiletries, food on your carryon, first aid kit, small flashlight, jungle boots, compass, snare wire, mosquite repellant...sorry, flashback there.....a couple BIG ziplock bags, some braided nylon twine (for luggage rescue if it breaks), sleeping bag, extra ammo, night vision goggles...there I go again...
You're not going into the jungle? Take money, buy second hand and discard before you go home!
