From the viewpoint of a distant observer you *appear* to fall ever more slowly towards the horizon (and your image becomes ever dimmer and redder), but from your viewpoint you cross the horizon in a finite amount of proper time. From then on the singularity is always a (rather short) finite proper time in your future, at least until you hit it.
