My dad just took me on a day trip to malaysia. Why?? So we can raid their shops and clean out Giant hypermart hahah.
And going by the insane jam on the causeway today, we weren't the only ones...See?! That's what raising GST (again) does to Singaporeans. We run elsewhere to spend our money cos we believe we can get more for our buck, and Singapore revenue is leaked to malaysia. How does it help OUR poor lah, honestly.
Anw, i kinda realised that we're overly fixated on the the fact that prices are lower in malaysia. Just cos the ringgit is lower, we go "aiyah buy lah buy lah, it's so cheap anw". Then on the long tedious journey back, u start realising that the money u brought with u has dwindled to the extent that u barely have enough to pay the frickin tolls.
My dad is wierd...he just suddenly comes up with the idea to drive all the way across the causeway, just cos he has a craving for satay. OH well, i love him all the more hahaha...I'm so overstuffed at the moment, i think i'll just go roll off to bed now.
I love my holidays :)
