For free water - in LCCT there is a water fountain on the way to the Loos; beside the big duty free which sells liquor/chocolates. This is after the security check, so no one will forbid you to collect some water in your own bottle. 2. If you pre-order a meal - you get free water with it; albeit about 120 ml or so. I guess you get it free even if you buy your meal on the spot. 3. My choice was to buy bottled water from the plane itself. In any case I found Air Asia as a value for money proposition (if you can afford the transit time) to fly to Singapore (via KL) than Silk Air which will of course give you free water (and orange juice) and charge you almost 3 times the fare of AA.

So tired that I couldn’t even sleep
So many secrets I couldn’t keep
Promised myself I wouldn’t weep
One more promise I couldn’t keep

It seems no one can help me now
I’m in too deep
There’s no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

but I am not never comin back. i will surface when I am ready.
