Eating and shopping used to be our favourite past-time. We
packed the food courts and shopping centres like nobody's business.
Although we still need to shop and eat, we don't do it as fervently
as in the past. Nowadays its more like buy what you need and eat to
stay hunger.
Places with good food are few and far between. Only the few good
stalls are well patronised. The rest are only doing reasonable
business. Food in the foodcourts are just passable. Even the best
of food and ingredients will turn out bad in the hands of foreign
workers. And hawker centres are just about the same.
And shopping centres are everywhere. Except for the expensive
branded goods, the shopping centres are no different from one
another. And many young Singaporeans are doing internet shopping.
The risk is there but there is no feel in the selection of what you
want to buy. But thats the way with internet shopping.
So, what is our favourite past time now? I guess for the younger
set, it is the internet forums. Many hours are spent on the
internet and the forums. Time spent mostly on idle discussions and
mindless arguments.
And for the not so young, it is just sitting inside the shopping
centres and enjoying the cool air-con on hot sunny days. Singapore
is hot.
This is my perception. What's yours?
