Bankers

Sat at Brewerkz enjoying a few pints of American Pale Ale. There are some bankers on the table next to me (British and American). The topic of of their conversation ranged from skiing in Japan to beach condos in Vietnam via the new apartment one them has moved to in Singapore (near Clementi).

Just as they were about to leave they got on to the topic of their annual bonus. Talk about bitter. Apparently despite both of them having 'stellar years' they are expecting to receive smaller bonuses. Lots of sniping about colleagues and the unfairness of everything! I think one works at Morgan Stanley and the other possibly at JP Morgan.

Quite amusing and so far removed from the 'real' world to be almost satire.

Day Trip

Well in fact not even a day - I was in Kuala Lampur for 4 hours. Actually to be accurate I was at Kuala Lumpur airport for 4 hours. With a 30 minute train journey there and back to downtown KL it wasn't worth the hassle to do anything more exciting than clear immigration (to get my passport stamped), have some lunch and then return airside.

The purpose of my short excursion was the 370 miles I'll earn which will nudge me over the 50,000 mile threshold to keep my KrisFlyer Elite Gold status. Well worth it!
