Last night Ying Hong was very upset after the news reported that some Fisher Price's toys need to be recalled. She was afraid she will have to return her "Dora Talking House" toy. So after reading the details in the Chinese "Wo Bao" this morning, I called her quickly to let her know it's only the toys produced after April 19th that needs to be recalled and since her toy was gotten before that she will get to keep it. Of course the little girl was overjoyed!
Lunch with colleagues at the Marmalade Pantry in Chevron House (I didn't even know Caltex House has become Chevron House) was fun, and the food good too! I adhere to my diet -- grilled chicken and salad... yummy! . The cup cakes seem popular, Grace and Eric even reserved an "Elvis" before they started their meal. "Elvis" is a chocolate flavoured cake with peanut butter cream topping ... will try it next time... I am sure I will return to this bistro again. Arriving at Tampines MRT station after work reminded me of how much I hate some Singaporeans (individuals and organizations). Why? Some people are always pushing and rustling, while others so oblivious and always seem to take their own sweet time. Can't they ever learn to stand on the left hand side of the escalator and leave the RHS for people overtaking? I think the MRT corp needs to install blinking billboard spelling out those instructions "Keep Left! Right hand side for overtaking only!" above the escalators! These sluggish and selfish people cause such a congestion on the platform... it would take you 3 minutes just to get from the platform down to the gantry on the ground floor ! I guess the only way to make sure people obey such simple rule would be to plant a microchip into every Singaporean at birth, then set up ERP-like gantry point everywhere to detect a breach of law. Like when they stand stationery on the right hand side of escalator, the gantry will beep to record the details, or when someone litters or spit or jay-cross etc... then the government may deduct the cumulative sum of fine directly from each person's bank or CPF account at the end of each month!!! Hahaha .. this definitely sounds like a good suggestion!
well... if I choose to ignore these people and not let them affect me, life is still not too bad..especially when it's a friday. Weekend is here!!!!
