elindra SG Rhonda I checked with Nak he said it is just a suggestion and not in place yet leh for the electricity bills He said this is Australia and if they were to do that expect HUGE protests
Wanda SG Oh dear! And here we're complaining about the price increase of basic foodstuffs and other household items (whose prices have quietly crept upwards), gst, probably mrt and bus fares soon. But I agree, the more important things should come first ...pc will have to wait awhile ya.
Rhonda SG Hellooo, honeymousey! How are you and mousehubby? I think of you guys each time I play Animal Crossing! I'm doing pretty well in that game now. Nook's shop went through two upgrades liao! I can't wait to visit your village! You come visit mine too! You'll pick my oranges and I'll pick your cherries! Remember to leave six fruits behind for each other! ONE coconut finally floated to my beach liao! I planted a sapling in a spot near the beach to see if the land is fertile there. If it is, I'll chop down that poor tree, remove the stump, and plant the coconut there instead. I've gotten the password to Reddi's tent and bought a darn expensive katana display, just cause I LOVE Japanese swords! And oh, a fake Mona Lisa! (*@!#*[email protected]#!!! I'm filling up the Museum nicely too! Lots of fishes in there. Not doing so well in the fossils and insects area yet. Some of those moths and butterflies that sit on the tree trunks are quite hard to net. Would be fun to visit your village! My village is called "HollandV"!
av98m SG Well, if it makes you feel any better, the PAP is still working very hard at f_ucking us over. I think by the time I'm 50, the age for withdrawl is going to be 70 and the minimum sum is going to be 500k
the Bear SG the energy used for desalination is intense.. which adds to more global warming, which adds to more storm/drought.. which leads to more need for desalination plants.. which... may lead to the end of the world... that's their concern... anyway, i can't go to Sentosa this weekend already my colleague is hammered with acute conjunctivitis.. i have to cover her duties on saturday... nuts.. and after this weekend, i have to work the next weekend.. on both saturday and sunday.. nuts... no rest for my weary bones
Wanda SG My PRC colleague gave me a pack of 8-treasure tea made in Hangzhou...wonder if I shd consume it....
ShrodingersCat SG hai.. rescues always end up your own cat. my one was a little thingy that some kids took away from her mother. her eyes not open umbilical cord still on the stomach when we got her. we bottle fed her but cos of work, we could not feed her as regularly as a kitten needs and always tend to be 1-2 hours behind time so she is always greedy for food even now that she's grown up! cats grow on u... all of them are so individual in their personality..
honeymouse SG The elderly people usually have concession rate (at least 50% discount) for their bills. You'll realise whenever we are going to build something which involves a big amount of land, chopping down trees, etc there will always be an outcry about it from different direction. Anyway, I guess Australia has no choice but to go down the path of building a desalination plant. So has your rental increased too? Hope not.
the Bear SG you're an optimist... i figure by the time i'm 50 (which isn't very far away), the retirement age = the age for withdrawal of the CPF = the moment the last nail is driven into your coffin...
elindra SG Looks like recyled water is out for them I mean put it this way our gov let us drink 'shit' give us lots of 'shit' , think our brains are made of 'shit', bring in FTs to give us more 'shit' and the latest Elder shield 'shit'
Wanda SG How many folks can work till their CPF got 500k? You think what, we're getting PAP salaries?
Fatum SG Evil or Very Mad Well I should have guessed coz Mr Pinky Bear taste is very atas too I asked him last night if it was for Marlin and he said dun be crazy Marlin reels cost at least 1.5k well ... if he's just going to be fishing in singapore waters hor ... then it's serious over kill ... I've tried out those accurate reels before .... it's made for fighting fish, not for fishing .... the gears are heavy duty, but that also meant it's difficult to fish with .... I'd rather buy a shimano calcutta and use the left over money for a new rod ..... [/url]
Rhonda SG My Telstra phone bills always make me curse and swear! Monthly rental alone is A$29.90! The bill is quarterly so it's a minimum about A$90 already! And phone calls to mobiles are so darn expensive! Local calls can be expensive too! My nasty phone bill this time is about A$230 or so, much better than the A$300+ I've been clocking up, and they don't even include overseas calls! Thank goodness I use callcards, which are much much cheaper for calling home to SG, so the charges are local call rates. I've switched to SingTel Optus because their plans are so much more reasonable. If you don't use your phone a lot and exceed their limit, it's only A$59 / month. Anyways, SingTel Optus has a friendlier image than Telstra. Their ads are cuter too!
av98m SG I was reading the article about it in the pap times this morning and wondering to myself WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE WANT TO WORK AFTER 62 IF THEY HAD A FUCKING CHOICE TO BEGIN WITH. NOT EVERYONE HAS A FUCKING CUSHY JOB LIKE YOURS YOU BASTARD LIM BOON HENG
Rhonda SG Izzit?!! Chey! Thought in effect liao, dare not switch on heater, waiting till a pile of laundry accummulates before washing cause dryers use up a lot of electricity... Chey!!
av98m SG Thats the point!! They want to lock in your moeny for as long as possible. what better way than to give an impossible minimum sum
honeymouse SG Glad you enjoy playing animal crossing. Don't worry about the orange as I already had orange tree in my village (stole it from hubby's village). Now I have orange tree, cherry tree, peach tree and coconut tree. The coconut tree only grows well near the beach (not too close to the shoreline where the water washes in) and will not survive inland. We tried many times so don't waste your coconut. My village name is boring - "wherever" and hubby's village name is "pawland". What's your character name? I name my character mouse, hubby is meow.
