Helen Plus Three

Is everything more expensive these days or is it my imagination. Did I just pay $15 for a handful of vegetables ?   Fish is expensive  but unfortunately it's also healthier, .. (troublesome too as I get more whining from the the kids ... they 'd rather live on chicken and mutton). ... $16 !! for white pomfret is there any point haggling with the fish seller Prices of food are skyrocketing  but our salaries are barely crawling in the upward motion.  The economy is bad then the weather is bad, then the economy picks up and property prices climb again  although one has got nothing to do with the other,  notice the pattern , it's all just going up (except...) which just means the hole in our pocket grows bigger and bigger. Now to more mundane stuff... it's time for haircuts AGAIN, why do the boys hair just grow like ... lallang .. at least there are still no-frills barbers around for that;  a $7 or $8 for a basic haircut !

(very hard to be cool lah) Simple Courtesy There are tonnes of people getting out at Little India station and what do you have , two lumps of stone standing at the doorway... (no they are not related perhaps distantly 500 years ago !) "Excuse Me" is useless..., people shove their way pass them, bags banging at them, still unmovable..- are they brain dead or morons ? Probably a good shove out the door might do it. Feeder service woes My 317 bus.... 6 months ago, it used to come on time and regularly, now it doesn't. They skip a slot, they come two at a time. Want to imagine how irritating that is ? and Yes ....  both incidents  involve 'people'..... ...of course being good citizens we don't resort to 'road' rage or bus captain bashing or finger antics or what uncool ways.. have you,.to let off steam..... we swallow it, not quite digested.. carry it with us and dump it on the unsuspecting junior at the office.....
