Flying with a minus crew situation is a serious matter.
Section 18 of the industrial act means the cabin crew management has to sit down and discuss with the union as well as take remedial action to solve this problem. If the management does not want to discuss or do something positive, the matter will be referred to the Ministry of Manpower which will then decide on the next form of action.
Continuing from yesterday's topic on the adoption of a dog,the above toy poodle was also adopted by us. This pet belonged to an expat family and they did not want to take her back to their original country and so let us adopt her. She is a loving pet, highly intelligent and playful.
Sometimes, we wonder why would some people want to have pets only later to abandon them (not in the case of the above toy poodle). It is cruel to abandon pets and there is a law in Singapore against it. In the case of the ex-stewardess's adopted dog, the owner wanted to put her down due to a "sickness". The sickness was actually a mild case of "heart murmur". The ex-stewardess sent the dog to the vet and fixed the problem. So really it may just be an excuse to kill the dog.
The STI closed down 8 pts. My portfolio of shares have not been affected except for Noble which is down 0.015 cents. It's no big deal really because it will go up soon. Tiger was up again at 0.005 cents to 0.305 and SIA down 1 cent to 10.71. There will be no trading over the next 2 days because of the weekends.
The haze is as bad as yesterday in the unhealthy range. Most of the time we have to stay indoor with the air-conditioning and air purifier switched on.
Yesterday I forgot to mention that I was out for about 3 hours doing my job. There is a saying that "if you do not work,you do not eat". So, on matter what, I have to earn some income to support myself and my wife.
In terms of freshness and pricing ($1.50 per plate) Sushi Express is by far one of the best conveyor belt sushi in Singapore. The sushi and sashimi are even better than some selling in the upmarket restaurants along Orchard Road.
Guess what? I am now an instant noodle junkie. I know it isn't healthy eating these stuff but I can't help it. I am addicted to it and the addiction started because of the dreadful haze which prevented me from going out for my meals. The noodles comes in handy in this haze situation. It is super delicious and easy to cook. It's a good thing the addiction comes to me at a late age. Don't think it is nutritious at all, so it is not good for the kids.
Well, I had one of the above (Korean potato ramen) and it was chewy and yummy. 5 pkts in 1 box cost $6.90. The other 2 are cheaper (think it's $4 each box of 5).
