When economical rice isn’t economical

You know, Cockroach is just like any other Singaporeans who *love* cheap and good. That’s why cockroach always buys economical rice when he is lazy to cook.

But nowadays, economical rice isn’t economical anymore. They give you little bit of rice, little bit of the stuff you requested, and plus surcharge of 20 cents if you takeaway.

Today, my family was lazy to cook; therefore I went all the way to one of the famous economical rice shop to buy dinner. (They are famous of their really cheap and nice food). But what happen was…

 

The rice they gave like as if I requested less rice >< The rice they gave can finished with 20 spoon. Not only that, 1 vegetable and 2 meat together with (that little amount of) rice cost me bloody $4.50! It used to cost a lot cheaper… Base on Singaporean mentally, this shop would close very soon.

Everything rose…why my pocket money and salary never rise… *cry* I miss the olden days…

Happy Ang Moh New Year! 哈比努呀!

It’s a new year! Time really flies, we had entered a new year and 2006 countdown was like just yesterday.I remember when I was young and was schooling; I had a hard time writing the New Year on my worksheet and homework. We used to greet the teacher followed by the day and date. Cockroach, the smart feller, would greet very loudly and when everyone says “Today is Wednesday, 3 Jan 1995″, I said “Today is Wednesday, 3 Jan 1994!” ><

2008, wonder what will happen in this year. Life is so unpredictable, and to be honest, I started to feel I’m scare, scare of life and time.

Happy New Year everyone!
