Lounge

When you don't have free lounge access, you think you want it. But when you have it freely now, actually all I want is teh and kali pok.
I guess for Sg, you really don't need the lounge. Unless you're in Perth, San Francisco, India and pretty much the rest of the world.

15) Which 2 characters appeared in all 7 episodes of Star Wars?

16) What is the original name of Optimus Prime?

There's this guy from my team, treasury analyst, he knew the answer to almost all of the 35. If not, he made smart enough guesses to get a lot right. At some point, my team was leading because of him, actually he answered almost all the questions.

At the end of the game, I asked him what did he studied, "Engineering" he says.

Ok............... 'So why are you doing treasury now again?'

"I did a MBA too"

Hong Kong

My flight landed 1 hr earlier in HK. I really liked HK lounge.
My empty plate, I wasn't even hungry. They serve quite a bit of food here, now I can't wait to come back in November already!

The flight was easy, got up the flight at 1am by the time I woke up it was 9am, and left 4 hrs to go to land!! Feels quick. One thing I learn today is I can reserve my meal on flight while I sleep!! Today they served steak for supper, which I skipped, coz sleep is obviously more important. They had the fish soup which I was interested in, but again, sleep more important. Woke up and ate chicky instant noodles with mushroom and dim sum breakfast.

One more leg to go!
