Postcards for the dead

I must hand it to the Japanese. They can think of making anything, miniaturizing, and selling them. They do this even for the dead and departed. Here are invitation cards you can buy and invite people to that last journey.

Money Tea

It is Chinese New Year, and restaurants are all getting in on the occasion by offering one meal package or another. This restaurant shows it understands the sentiments of the occasion.

Video Cart

This is really not new, but in the context of Singapore supermarkets, it is the first time I've seen it. Carts with attached video streaming in-store commercials are now available in Cold Storage supermarkets. Apparently it is an eye catcher because some kids where following me all over as I pushed the cart around the supermarket.

Hail the New Year

You know that the Chinese Lunar New Year is around the corner when you see rows and rows of red in the supermarket.

Another way to inflate prizes is to shrink the portion. This serving of herbal chicken is really pea-size, I kid you not.

Well, some people really like to make a statement with their buttocks. I hope than when the hot burning steel touches, she will not jump out of her pants.

Far encounters

Well, you really, really don't want to sit close to this man, who is busy plucking his facial hair in full public view on the subway train. Talk about the crude and ugly Singaporean, there is non that can compare.

Slow leopard

Long mane and leopard prints? Who does this guy think he is? Tarzan?

Skinnies

Nowadays, chopsticks are really what they are - sticks. Ever noticed that in Singapore, public eateries (aka Hawker Centres/Foodcourts) are serving up ever thinner and flimsy chopsticks? Sometime I worry about accidentaly eating the chopstick too. Yes, there is more than one way to up prices...

Spell Bee

Don't give these apples to your growing kids. They'd end up losing the spelling bee competition.

Squishy Tomato

It's probably not an expensive item on the menu, but this is a real waste. Talk of climate change, People have to change their eating habits first.

Dangerous bike

Ain't got no respect for the law, that's what I say. Can you trust the owner of this bicycle on the pedestrian pathway?

Barrage 2

This is the real Marina Barrage (Singapore). It serves also as a dam to harvest drinking water.

Barrage 1

Scale model of the Singapore Marina Barrage mechanism. Yeah, photography was not permitted, but what the heck, everybody was doing it (taking photos), which made the rule redundant anyway.
