Of Demand and Supply..

Was discussing this with wife that day..

In government's effort to manage high demand of taxis in town, they choose to increase price so that demand will drop.. supply will be enough..

Now that some taxis are complaining that there isn't enough passengers(demand drop), would the price be decreased to lower levels so that demand can much supply?

Simple solution right? Lower price of increase so that people will take cab again, yes? No, i doubt the government will do that..

Instead.. since people are turned off my increase in price of taxi, but they still need to move around, they take buses and MRT.. so our dear government will likely increase Bus fare and MRT fare to deal with the "problem" that they create..

This is my prediction.. bus and MRT fare will rise once again, citing taxi fare increase as a reason.

That's the brilliant way our multi-millionaires solves our problems..

Of Moneys nos enoughs

Taxi fares are up, Ramly burger is now 2.80 at the pasar malam that just ended near my place, the chicken rice store near my home steals an entire slice of breast meat when i order half a chicken, Carrefour chicken is now 5.90 and Hougang's ah Beng western food is now $1 more expensive for its hot plate steak and $2 more for its mixed grill..

Cost of living continues to rise, but my wages is the same.. still have no idea if i will get bonus or not and how much i will get, and on top of that, its pro-rated.. damn..

Lets see what else is going to rise.. I'm sure bus fares will increase next year to keep themselves within reach of rising cab fares.. make more people take public transport yeah?

All this while, it seems like our dear top class government will millions worth of salaries is keeping quiet.. maybe they saw this coming and increase their pay some months ago..

One highly paid minister commented to our shit news some weeks ago that people should learn to cope with increasing cost of items by choosing cheaper alternatives.. that means you lower your standard of living to cope with inflation.. wow.. we pay him so much to tell us this crap.. so if u used to take cab, you should take bus now.. if you take bus like me.. how? cheaper alternate? walk please.. saves the planet from fuel emission also

Enough rantings, PAP sucks.. they are great at dealing with the world and signing all the POWERFUL agreements with other people and attracting foreign talent.. but please please.. learn to take good care of the people(not the rich ones by reducing income tax) and do something for the man on the street that is suffering from increase in food price, the newly wed who struggle with inflated cost of flats and cost of living and having a child, the old folks who are playing their medical bills with their CPF and yet cannot properly withdraw their CPF because they are not old enough..

Of Cold Water

Got this from a friend and i reckoned this is the best way to pass it on..


















For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
