Singapore Families better off despite rise in price??

I came across this article in Straits Times on 27 Dec2012...

Report says that families in Singapore were better off despite rise in prices.. We the citizen of Singapore will know if we are better off despite rise in prices.. i am sure most will laugh out loud till falling off the chair.. Damn, is this a report to boost the morale of Singaporeans or is this to show the World that Singaporean still can spend despite rise in prices.. ?? What is the objective of this publishing this article during this period of time??

The person who wrote this report forgets that now is the end of the year, and this might affect many AWS and bonuses.. Wrong timing for such report.. There are still some Singaporean struggling to meet ends need.. and retailers will have a good reason to raise prices after this report.. Not to forget that CNY will be approaching..

Ungracious Singaporean

Last week as i was on my way to visit one of the corporate account, these was this very drama happen on board the bus..
Coming near to a bus stop, this young lady sitting near the entrance press the bell, whole seated.. and when the bus arrive at the bus stop, she just simply tap her ezlink card but did not alight. Happen that one old lady who was on board the bus saw what this young lady did and start to question her... "Why did you tap your ezlink card but did not alight?".. That lady ignore her and stand up.. That old lady took the seat and keep scolding "You are not honest, how can you tap your ezlink card but refuse to get off the bus", then this young lady shoot back "Old lady, i did not cheat, please mind your own business"..

Then feeling uneasy, this young lady went forward to the driver to complaint about that old lady.. Then this old lady came forward too and both ladies had an argument.. I heard this old lady was say "I was hoping that you will alight so that i can have your seat.." Then come to the next bus stop, this young lady alight and shouted at the old lady "You are an busybody old lady, very irritating.."

There is nothing the driver can do.. Everyone on board are shaking their head in the bus..

Did this lady accidentally tap her ezlink card to realised that this is not where she wants to alight.. and stay on to her seat.. till the next two bus stop away.. But old lady thought she was attempt cheating and expect this young lady to give her seat to her.. ???

KFC Survey on new product

This morning as i walk passed the KFC outlet in Jurong Point.. One of the staff approach me to do a simple survey to feedback their "new" product - the Fish Twister for Breakfast..

Well, i agree loh, got free food, why not.. anyway i am on my way looking for breakfast and this survey came at the right time.. The staff lead me into KFC, invite me to take a seat and look at the survey form while the kitchen prepare for me the 'New" Fish Twister..

Here is my feedback after a few bites,, i mean, i bite and comment at the same time..

 The packaging is ok for me.. standard for a wrap la.. then open up the packaging to find a hot wraps. Inside the wrap contains: Fish Fillet, Egg Omelette, Tomatoes Cubes and top up with Tartar Sauce...
The Fish Fillet is crips outside and soft on the inside, every bite of the fish with the egg omelette is satisfying.. But the generously spread tartar sauce does not goes well with the chopped tomatoes..

I do suggest to replace the egg omelette with hush brown for a more crunch and can compliment the tartar sauce. But i love the ideas of having fish for breakfast, light and can fill you with lots of DHA to your start a hectic day.

Anyway, THANKS KFC for the FREE BREAKFAST....
