Japanese noodles (ramen) for lunch@ Takashimaya

Today's lunch was at B2 of Takashimaya. We had the ramen and goyza. Between the 2 of us, we spent $41. Although nice, the food can't be compared to the one we ate in Japan.

Haze still bad but went out for lunch with friends

The haze situation is still bad. It is still in the very unhealthy range. Many have suffered due to the haze which is a regular affair at this time of the year. The haze is caused by the burning of the forest and peat land in Sumatra and Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Nevertheless, today me and my wife braved the dreadful haze and ventured out to have lunch with our friends at Takashimaya.
We met at a Japanese restaurant (Tampopo Grand) for lunch. Our lunches consist of sushi and sashimi. The food wasn't extraordinary and was pricey too. I did not snap photo of our friends and the food we ate. I was afraid it may be considered rude to take pictures as one of them is a celebrity.
As they were busy people, we bade farewell a little later after we've finished eating.

Since we were at Takashimaya we decided to do a bit of shopping with the gift vouchers that someone gave us. We bought a few face towels and a hair dryer. After an hour or so we were back home.

The STI was up 2.95 points at the closing. The shares that I dabbled in rose a little...example Noble rose 1.5 cents to 0.415 cents on a heavy volume of 75 million. Hopefully, it could go up again in tomorrow's trading. Tiger Air closed up half a cent to 30 cents. SIA was unchanged at $10.70. Wilmar International was up 5 cents to $2.57. Genting (S) was down 1.5 cents to 0.725 cts.

The Dow Jones futures look good. At 1930 hours, the Dow futures was up 100 points. The futures is an indication of how the Dow will fare when it opens at 2130 hours later tonight.

2140 hours:

Wow the Dow is up 224 points 10 minutes after the opening. Things look good. Hope the upward trend could be sustained. Promise to be a good trading day tomorrow. Keep fingers crossed.

The old blog www.bohtong.org

I notice that many still visit my old blog. Some have told me they want me to carry on blogging about crew and airlines stories. They are very interested in what's going on in the airlines particularly SIA.
Some of these readers are cabin crew hopefuls while others are members of the public. As for the current flying crew, they dislike me writing about them or about things concerning flying. Naturally they are afraid that if they do anything wrong I may blog about them. Well there is a saying in Chinese which goes something like this...."if you have not committed a crime or done anything wrong why should you be scared of the policeman?"...right?
