Me Time!

Not long ago…I briefly read a lady like what…eat more rice or rice only? If prices still continue going up that is no good.

I check my items too. And many times my purchase affected by promo. No promo I don't need to buy..so make sure they billed me at promo price.

Yes, I buy promo items. If no promo, then wait for promo.
Some items are 50% discount. I seriously wonder when no promo, how much profit the merchants are making. Even with 50% discount, I doubt the merchants are selling at a loss.

I tend to think that it is more to the mktg ?

I am really not a savvy shopper. And I do not like shopping. So I just zoom in and grab what I need and zoom out. I buy because the item is needed so promo or not, I will still get it. If have promo and I noticed, for non-perishables, maybe I might just double the qty if they are things that are frequently used. If not, even if there’s promo also I will just get the qty that I need for that moment.

That's what my dh teased me.. penny wise pound foolish but the satisfaction is intangible mah.

Don’t know where to post this question, but I’m sure some people here can help!


We have a friend from overseas who will be in Singapore overnight in a couple of weeks time. We plan to pick her up at the airport (flight arrives at around 3+pm) and take her to the Marina Bay area to have a look and say ‘hi’ to the Merlion before going home for dinner.

My question is: where is a convenient place that will have parking at that time on a weekday, and won’t cost the earth? Just for an hour or so.

Same same here, I only shop what I really need and never over buy due to promotion.

Gardens by the Bay looks extremely affordable compared to the rest. If she is game to walk a few kms in the hot sun, that is. There is a sky bridge somewhere in GBB that links to MBS.

U can see some other nearer alternatives in this image below:

Thanks! Will send this to the driver (husband). And no, we don't want to walk distances in the hot sun. Actually, we have very little time as someone is coming to see her over dinner, and we have to dabao food too. Just a quick hour to let her see a bit of Singapore. We would have liked her to stay longer, but my younger girl is her good friend and will be away then.

Talk about bad timing - the US girl will be heading back to the US after spending time in Asia, and the Sg girl will be heading back here from the US!

I continue to be amazed by how children are willing to listen/obey teachers (whom they have no prior interaction with) and how much cajoling/nagging/threatening I need to influence my kid :sad:

If I were you, I would be proud of your son because he knows how to respect and obey authority and wants to uphold his principles even he is still a primary school student.

A civil servant should not share any Government info to the public before Government press release, a procurement manager should not share the quotation from suppliers to his relatives, a police officer could not disclose any investigation progress, etc.

Since your DS has shared the questions after stuffed with a good dinner by you, this case is closed but try not to do this again. I cannot imagine if one day my doctor would disclose my medical record when someone buy him a fabulous dinner.

I apologise if there is any offensive words.
