      😂 I simply dont understand why need to stock up toilet rolls. This would be the last thing in my mind. My priority would be rice, food items,...
      I guess it depends on how many you have left! If I were down to the last one, then I would probably put that as a high priority! But I tend to replenish before we get to that level. I usually have a reasonable stock of non-perishable, frozen and canned foods, enough for a few meals at least, but fruit and veg have to be bought every few days. So the announcement on Friday caught me short as that's my usual shopping day. Luckily I got to the supermarket before the crowds. I didn't see many people buying toilet paper, but I saw a lady with 3 packs of box tissue - 15 boxes. Not sure why she needed so many!

      I think once we are past the first couple of days, things will get back to normal in the supermarkets. There's just a lot of people who need to buy more food because of the WFH.

          This morning, the supermarket, NTUC, and others all have re-stock toilet papers and maggie mee.
          Think they restock quite often now. Thanks for sharing though!

            Finally did our weekly grocery. No long Q. It was a breeze with full trolley load. Saw the NTUC staff replenishing toilet paper rolls & fruits/veggies. We did buy more cheeses & butter for baking at home though. 😄


            I was surprised helper stayed home today. She said no classes nor church, so stay home & do online service. Reminded hubby to pay helper for her initiative to stay home.

            Today more relax to finish up repotting my plants with new collection of Hoya plants.

              yes, go during odd hours help. Just now, I wasnt too glad with an old man following too close to me during the checking out. Next time if I encounter such a situation, I will sum up some courage to voice my concern

                I feel so relieved on the HBL. Has been reading news over the weekend and feeling so stressful.

                  Now I’m just wondering whether we will go to CB or not. If we are, I hope we do it sooner rather than later. Just get it over and done with.

                    There’s not much difference between a full circuit breaker & the rules from Wed onwards, is there?

                    The shops and eateries may still be open, but if there’s only takeaway & only 2 by 2 customers max at a time, I don’t see how much more the virus can be curbed. The vulnerable will be staying at home anyway.

                      No, not a lot of difference, but there is still some difference! During CB (as far as I remember, may not be exactly accurate), most shops had to close, only essential workers could go out to work, only 1 person could go out to buy food, and no visitors. So if the virus still spreads under the current measures, there is still more they can restrict!

                        there is not much difference between this Wed \" 2 by 2 rule imposed \" vs. CB lockdown

                        The change however will come once July Term 3 school 're-open after the June holiday break

                        and

                        all the kids go back to school regular Term time again, and the tuition classes become face to face again !
