Vegetables have also gone up and all the aunties in the market are complaining!! Haha, what to do, that's Singapore for you. =D yah! i so agree, its really irritating. =( i blogged about it!

It made a lot of sense. And bastard gah-men, are really not doing much about inflation.

You want to blame why is that so, in my own opinion, look at the root of the problem- the education system in Singapore today. We weren't taught to think for ourselves, but to always assimilate and conform to the benchmarks of society. If you're a square peg in a round hole, it's your bad. Go and carve yourself into a round peg so that you can fit. Similarly, about 377A, the government feels (or whatever it is) that Singaporeans just aren't liberal enough or ready to accept homosexuality, whatever. Again the concept of wanting all of us to be round pegs into round holes, they don't care if you're a square peg, a triangular one, a star shaped one, anything. It was a sad day in liberal, Singaporean thinking when 377A wasn't successfully repealed. “A first world country, with third world political thinking.”- Sadly, that is really true when you want to talk about matters in Singapore today.
