The new Downtown Line





I supposed it was still too early to have the Downtown line cabin filled with passengers as it was about 8 am when I was travelling in it. The train cabin was clean and the travel was smooth. I heard by 8:30 am the train will be packed with people going to work as well as tourists.

Busy day

Busy attending to my work whole afternoon. Had my lunch (picture below) at one of the air-conditioned foodcourts as the haze is still in the unhealthy zone. Work finished in the evening. Spotted a guy named Kris (story below).





Steward charged for allegedly stealing a lemon

He looked like an ex-steward whom I knew quite well. He was eating at the foodcourt too. I wasn't sure he was Krishnan but if he was, he must've changed a lot. He has aged and put on lots of kilos. Anyway, I remember Kris was charged by the SIA security for allegedly stealing a whole yellow lemon when he arrived home from a Bangkok flight.
At his trial or company's disciplinary inquiry ( CI ), the union was able to prove that BKK catering NEVER did supply lemon but instead green lime for the tea service on the flight.
According to Kris, he often carried lemon in his cabin bag and used it for his wavy black hair.
To cut a long story short, the company did not do its homework because out of BKK the Thai catering supplied only green lime for the tea service.
It was an embarrassment for the company and Kris was proven to be innocent.

At the food court, I wanted to approach and say hello to Kris but changed my mind because it would only serves to remind him of the unpleasant case.
