Overpriced Life
Nobody should expect anything serious out of yandao.com, after all it’s just ONE of Kelvin’s many many perceptions about life (and for those in the same class as me, we probably learnt that perceptions are *VERY* prone to errors), thus, Roti Pratas shall be the focus for today.
Actually, i found a definition by a primary school website (created by the MOE) which states that:
Roti prata is a well-known pancake that is widely available in many eateries of Singapore….
But I didn’t see the point in comparinga local delicacy with an Ang Moh Pancake. Why the heck must the Gahmen compare everything to Ang Moh’s ah? (definition of Ang Moh HERE [link to clip from mrbrown show]) Are we not good enough? I know that we’re not as big size as them, but.. but.. but.. =x
Nevertheless, Joyce pulled me out yesterday, and my initial responce was:
And then I (or we) found that…
cost $2.50 at Suntec. Look how pathetic it is compared to the size of a 50 cent coin. Since when did reputable hawkers sell 2 pieces (or is it 3? Joyce ate the pratas so fast, I also not sure) at that size for the price of much more? I told you our tax money we paid to the Gahmen was put to good use, and you all don’t belief always.
So, we decided to keep walking after lunch, since my mum always said walking was good after food. But what the hell. Then we found these push cart stores which sold Dragon’s Beard Candy (Long Xu Tang) and decided to grab some. Joyce, as random as she already was, decided to get kachang puteh (assorted nuts wrapped in paper cones) consisting of green peas. Ew. You see lah:
Yes, I do know. Green peas aren’t exactly digestable if one eats them while walking, but, but, but. Okay, they suck. I’m taking my stand. Pffffft. Oh, and yes, then I attempted to eat the Dragon’s Beard Candy, but I think the photos look fugly, so no – I’m not gonna pretend that I know how to eat a delicacy made for the Emperor of China 99999 years ago.
Back to the horribly overpriced situation locally. *Shakes head*
I bought a tie, 2 shirts, and a jeans (plus some accessories, but those cost peanuts, so never mind.) and I’m proud to annouce, the tie looks very uncle-ish. I’m gonna look late 20′s again, but this time covered in Topman and Levis’. BWAHAHAHA.
Somehow, under light, it the semi-floral/whatever pattern shines! Woohoo. Like those kinda hidden shiny things. But the white and grey stripes still looks quite Uncle-ish. Jezlyn was right, I’m very old already. She’s 18, im 19. =X Then, that makes me older than Joyce also.
In conclusion,
The house believes that the Gahmen must do something about Singapore being overpriced. (er, I didn’t make it for debate training. so, here’s impromptu training)
it’s 3.04 in the morning and i’m reading your blog. (which shows that i’m sucha big fan!)
