Final words

As i sit in T3 lounge preparing for my journey to the north (BJ), i decided to quickly facebook, blog and youtube. It's so terrible for me to feel so deprived in china! I don't know when i will blog again here again since i haven't confirmed my next holiday plan.

This time, my trip back to SG felt good. Not sure if it's because i had more time, or if it's because it's warmer than BJ's harsh winter. I have an urge to come back to SG to work, but should i really do that? Already, in less than 2 weeks, i started a quarrel with my mum. Or should i say, my mum started it. And it's really over the most minor issue. Ok, maybe it's better for me to stay away in BJ after all. Out of sight, out of mind.

IR = Ridiculous Inflation

When i first stepped into the long-awaited IR, i was quite impressed with the build up and shops brought in. Everything looked good, with universal studios similar to those i saw in japan n US. Can't believe it's here on SG island!

Went there at dinner hour, so went in search for food with a growling stomach. It was then i realised that the IR wasn't so good after all. Since most of the restaurants are not open yet, i could only rely on the push-carts for savoury food. And there i was shocked. The chicken pau was $5. Siew mai is $3.60. I didn't dare to see the rest. And they were all normal dim sum sizes! I dunno what they "pau" in the chicken pau, but i sure won't dare eat it. I mean, if it wasn't wrapping gold flakes, why does it cost the equivalent of 2 plates of chicken rice??

Then it struck me. The IR is going to lead the next wave of ridiculous inflation in SG. That's what the IR is for.
