Revenue for Transport Companies Increase at 5-year High.

I read the following article on Today with dismay, "Bus, MRT fares likely to go up". *** timing so zun. Right after the gener.... oh whatever.

"... raise approved by the PTC was the maximum allowed under its formula that takes into account average wage increases as well as productivity gains of the public transport companies." Wah, transport companies so in sync with the latest news hor, "Wage increase at 5-year high".

' "I would think that the public transport operators would want to apply for the increase every year," said Mr Ong.' Not only Mr Ong thinks so, I also think so leh. The raise not substantial mah, ten cents, twenty cents, nevermind hor? At most increase every year lor. I also wanna open a transport company leh, forever increasing revenue one. At most I increase fares only by five cents per year lah.

I wonder the whether fantastic formula takes into account of times when the economy does not do so well or not. If so, maybe we can see such a headline in the future, "Bus, MRT fares likely to go down. PTC imposes lower fares due to economic downturn." Choy, of cuz I don't wish for any economic downturn lah. heh heh.

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Shopping for Perfume.

If you want to buy original but cheaper perfume in Singapore, you'd probably go to Lucky Plaza . You can bargain at the perfume shops in Lucky Plaza which is the exact reason why anyone would wanna shop at Lucky Plaza. I went there with a friend to shop for some perfume this afternoon. It was a shopping experience I never had before in Singapore. As a matter of fact, never before in my life or anywhere in the world. I usually visit the two shops near McDonald's . Today we decided check out another shop since we had walked from the "Lucky Plaza - Ngee Ann City underpass". We had in mind one of the brand we wanted. So after asking the price, we looked for the 2nd bottle of brand, but at a lower budget. We tested three, can't decide and asked for recommendation from the boss, an Indian lady (not being racist, its just the fact it happened to be an Indian shop). She showed me a black face (no pun intended! heh ) and said my budget was too low. She probably wasn'...

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...
