8/8 or 10/8 is ok for me
IT IS a common sight at supermarkets: shoppers, usually housewives with children in tow, leaving their bags in their trolleys to keep their hands free to shop. Some even leave their trolleys and valuables and walk away to another part of the store to get groceries.
But at least seven such people fall prey to thieves in supermarkets here each month, said the police.
Last month, in the space of five days, three such cases were reported to the police at different locations such as Clementi, Ang Mo Kio and VivoCity. All of these had involved shoppers leaving their wallets or bags unattended in their trolleys while browsing the shelves.
And they stand to lose a lot, too. The shopper who fell victim to thieves in Ang Mo Kio on June 20, a 47-year-old woman, lost $400 as well as her credit cards and personal belongings.
Local supermarket chains, such as hypermarket chain Giant, NTUC FairPrice and Cold Storage, also noted that most of the victims tend to be female shoppers, especially housewives.
'Some tend to leave their belongings on the trolley when shopping or attending to their young children,' said a Cold Storage spokesman.
NTUC FairPrice said it receives, on average, about three to four cases of customers missing personal belongings at its 89 outlets every month, but saw this number double last month. Cold Storage said there had been no increase in the number of cases, and that thefts at its outlets 'remain low'.
The Straits Times stationed itself at several supermarkets in Bishan and Toa Payoh over several days and found that while most shoppers were careful, quite a few did not keep watch over their valuables.
On a Thursday afternoon, more shoppers were even more careless with their belongings. At least 10 were spotted leaving their bags unattended in their trolleys within half an hour.
Supermarkets here said that while they do their best to ensure a safe shopping experience, such as installing closed-circuit cameras and hiring security officers, customers must also be vigilant. NTUC FairPrice makes in-store announcements during peak hours to remind people not to leave their belongings unattended.

justin .. the water doesn seep out frm the silicone on the shower screen. it flows out from the floor trap de next to toilet bowl de. also duno where all the debris come from.
agnes.. my hb used hand to go dig the stucked debris out! LOL! u can ask ur hb to do so if he wants hehe. maybe use a glove or wad. can't see the debris but its there. i'm not sure if ur water at the dry area is from shower there flow to toiletbowl area or wad. for mine, the entire area from toilet bowl to shower area is dry. only the toiletbowl to wall area is wet so hor the water definately come from the floor trap. is ur situation same as mine?

then the water hole in the shower flows to the hole next to the toilet bowl before being drained away. in that case, the water hole next to the toilet bowl is choked, so water from the shower cannot be drained away so it flooded the dry area outside. guess that's the explanation.
i didn't experienced that before, hope it will never happen. it sounds dirty and disgusting !
