We just took off from KLIA on the KL-SIN shuttle, about 8 hours ago. CPO Boy, lounging across the aisle from my seat, leaned forward and said,
"Someone told me that being an investment banker is like going to heaven without ever having to die."
I retorted,
"Oh God, no. It's more like being able to have airconditioning in hell."

Welcome to June
Used to love June. The school holidays where we could do nothing but cycle around the village. How silly I was to be dreaming of growing up.
Now I'm all 'up' and older, I would give anything for a school holiday again. Heading to Singapore .. again. Makes me wish the island adjacent to our fair nation is Bali (like where my Indonesian colleague went for a coal conference), so I can attend my IATA conference there.
But as they say, what is, is what is. And so I make the dutiful trek down.
The only consolation being I can stay at my home away from home. I have tried Marina Bay Sands, and its impersonal coolness, sometimes loud and tacky (thanks to the Chinese tourists) and definitely touristy vibe is frankly not what a weary person wants to come back to after a long day.
Upps. Late for flight.
