New debit card, shopping and Standing Sushi Bar

It was an eventful day. I was practically out of office the whole day.

I went to the bank to drop some cheques for the CEO. Though he is a Privilege Banking member, I can’t join the Priority Q.

Apparently, it’s supposed to be for personal banking only. And since he issued the cheques to some corporate account, it’s not included in the Privilege Banking service.

Anyway, I was let into something interesting also. UOB is going to launch the new debit card by next week, where the card can be used as a cashcard, ezylink, ATM, tap-to-pay and debit card. My debit card is due to expire this Dec, and I was actually invited to sign up for some gold card. But the CSO told me not to sign for that but to sign for this new platinum card. The ezylink and cashcard actually had a separate account, and requires top up manually. So even if the card is lost, it does not mean unlimited usage by whoever who picks up. There will still be a cap.

Interesting. I think I will take it up. Moreover, I do not have an ATM card anymore (it spoilt donkey years ago) and so I need another new one by its expiry end of this year.

With barely time to rest, I headed down to Orchard in the rain.

Chose a few ties, and got 3 lady-style pens from Mikimoto.

Only had lunch at 3pm+. By then I kinda lost my appetite.

Few hours later, I headed down to CBD. For what?

Standing sushi bar!

We were late due to the accidents and meetings and such. However, dinner was very enjoyable. We kind of were the first one there, and thought how come it was so empty.

Minutes later, the full force came and filled the place.

Icybabe and me had some food to taste while waiting for the Paradizer to arrive.

Miso soup, salmon skin handrolls for starters.

Both very good. Yumz.

Then we ordered sake toro nigiri, inari gunkan, mekajiki nigiri.

Then sake toro and sake sashimi.

Finally we had sake toro aburi style. That was the ultimate dish of last nite.

First we must put the whole thing in the mouth, within seconds after it’s served. At least enough time to let the Paradizer snap a photo of it.

Splendid. I think that was an understatement actually.

Here’s what we had. Part of it.
