Fall in full swing...

Autumn is upon us. There's a sweet chill in the morning just enough to give you a little shiver in the shadows and some of the trees are starting to brown. It's still warm enough to walk around without a coat, but cool enough not to break a sweat... the weather is almost perfect.

The Tays are in Tokyo all this week. Followed by the Leongs. Seems to me all the Singaporeans I know are holidaying in Japan. While the seasonal climate is perfect for a visit, the current economic climate will surely put a damper on their enjoyment, with the Japanese Yen having risen quicker then the 'rising sun' and the Singapore dollar collapsing like Palin's popularity, the exchange rate has taken close to a 20% hit. Just last month it was ¥77 to a Singapore dollar... today, it's ¥64.

I sure hope that Aso does something to manage the stink...

Sherrine, who is a wonderful cook, has promised to cook up a storm tonight. I wonder what Adrian can do to top that?
