wow got so many good food in the new extension ar. not bad. i hope they hv a cold storage.. most important.
ryan
was @ west coast plaza for its soft launch yesterday too, abt 3-6pm, patronised the cold storage. agreed cold storage generally charges higher, but it has wider variety of groceries not found in sheng siong & fair price ...
spent a fair bit @ the cold storage, like the idea that it accepts credit card payment & is currently having promotion on shell petrol for every $30 spent.
btw for a pair of sweet corns, price depends on its origin. From malaysia, $1. From Thailand, $1.20. From Indonesia, $1.50. (origin indicated on its packaging, unsure the origin for cold storage's)

kevin.. how do u get ur bike there? by cab? the cab fare must be terrible.. sore knees but gd exercise la. get wife to cook some nice food and all pain will be forgotten
actually realised for all the supermarket chains ie. fairprice, sheng siong, cold storage and so on, each has some items which are sold cheaper than others. for instance, i get my cheapest cereal & seafood @ sheng siong, fruit juice/bacon @ cold storage, vege/meat @ fairprice, basic necessities @ giant & so on....

Thanks Diana, val
I’m just another hubby like every other guy here in the forum
Besides the usual orchard road-shopping, do spent considerable amount of time in supermarket, so do note the price differences, anyway, the product prices vary differently with different brands. I can only vouch for those brands that I’m familiar with. Presume these supermarket chains clinch their food and product supplies at different rates, and with different profit margins, hence different price.
While fairprice still holds a bigger share of my expenditure, do note that some of their products are considerably priced higher than others. For instance, I can get my favourite POST cereals at least $1.50 cheaper at Sheng Siong nearby, and do realise cold storage daily products are relatively cheaper than fairprice too.
Haha, sound like an auntie now, trying to stretch every single dollar. Heehee. However shopping at supermarket can be a tiring chore (like at JP fairprice which is packed and queues are long) or simply like a stroll along orchard road (haha, that’s an exaggeration) but at a premium, as rightfully pointed out by someone previously.

Grace drove, so we squeezed the 2 bikes on board and set off to east coast
Perhaps can try it one day, when well-rested to cycle along those park connectors, can start from JW, then Chinese garden, clementi, kent ridge park, hortpark, lavender park, marina, east coast and oh well, changi airport, turn west-bound, pasir ris, punggol, sembawang, woodlands, and you guess it, back in the west, and find the way to nature reserves in bt timah and bt batok then JW again!! Haha
Supposedly, the NPARK master plan is to connect all parks, big or small, in Singapore and turn our city-state into a city in the garden, that’s cool.
And val, I patronise the cold storage @ HV
Understand there’s a new outlet (and high tech too) at the basement of fusionopolis, can visit it one of these days
As for fairprice, prefer the boon lay outlet, not crowded at all, and short queues

Ya, Diana
Can only see depressing news daily on paper/TV. Those investors everyday have to pray hard, then lehman mini bonds, now pinnacle notes….what more to come, even our town councils also affected, haha, no $ to renovate estate with rumour of election
PM could even 'joke' abt the lowering of electricity tariff in Jan-Mar 09 as the only probable good news that we can receive in coming months. Good that they are bringing forward the budget 09 to jan, before CNY. Hope for more goodies, but feel marginalised that the govt looks at your hse type ie. 5-room and decide to give you less for utilities rebates. Gosh, some of us had no choice but to make do with 5-room cos hdb demands outstripped supply last yr, and ballot number was terrible. Would love to own a 4-room instead, hai.

not a great start to the week
stomach upset last night, visited the washroom till lost count, must be that few pieces of cheescakes (for supper), suay
this morning, noticed (heard) that (fans in) my a/c compressor still spinning after switched off the fan coil (a/c unit). had to switch off the main switch (just outside the mbr side window). had to arrange the mitsubishi guys to come down to repair, was told some motherboard (in compressor) might be faulty, what luck
hardly could talk this morning, terrible sore throat after a sunday afternoon of karaoke ...
hope everyone has a good start to the week.

thanks angie, diana & shawn, for ur concern, well recovered now.
shawn, hope u got someone to help u with the room rental
was busy & anxious last few days helping my dear to prepare for her driving test, glad that she passed it yesterday, at 1st attempt
the a/c came & repaired the compressor today, still within 1yr warranty, so FOC, but understand from the technican that these days, the a/c not so 'durable' as compared to older days, so after 1 yr, have to pay for any fault, even the so-called 5yr warranty for compressor does not include glitch in motherboard in it
