Mentai spaghetti and Japanese dinner



Dinner was typically Japanese style. Rice, saba fish, diakon, miso soup, pickled sliced ginger and salted veggie. I would not put on weight when I've this type of dinner. In fact, I would most likely lose a few hundred grams if the lunch is somewhat similar. Instead, lunch was mentai (fish roe) spaghetti.

Due to the security breach at STC, many staff including some "grounded" crew has to queue to let the security staff checked their passes before entering. The new procedure which involves long queue has caused some inconvenience to the staff. On the average, each staff has to come to STC  30 minutes earlier than usual.

This incident may not be related to the above case but it was also about "security lapse" at STC a few years ago. The story went like this:

J, a trainee steward had permission from SIA to invite his parents for his graduation at the STC Auditorium. The parents were given passes to enter the premise. After the graduation was over, J's parents who were ex crew went to the cabin crew office (next block) to pay a visit to their ex colleagues in the office. The case was reported to the security by a staff and J's parents were let off with a stern warning. As for J, he was given a warning letter from the office which could have resulted in having his probationary period extended.

I had a few issues with my desktop. I could not upload videos or photos from my phone camera. However, it is fine now.
The video above shows the anniversary celebration of a Chinese temple in front of my flat. The festivities will go on for the whole month of October.
The above picture was my lunch. It is the hamburger minus the bun (wrapped with sliced cheese). Not bad for a home cooked dish.


This was my dinner, typically Japanese with beef, pickled brinjal, turnip (daicon) and pickled sliced ginger plus a small bowl of rice.
