Well. I'm back at work and back from Singapore. 1st things 1st - Tony Roma's was excellent! I tried the Rib Sampler (4 different flavours). Conclusion - I think the originals are the best.
Anyways, I have decided to take Krystal to the Sunway Pyramid one this weekend since she loves ribs as well. We'll see how they go w/o pork though....
Some quick conclusions from Singapore:
1) Mobile phones are really cheap (yes - you knew that already).
Could get a SE K800i (the Cybershot one!) for SGD618 (w/o GST). That's like RM1400+ only compared to our super ridiculous RM2k official price (or around 18-1900 on the market apparently).
You can also get a Nokia N73 for around SGD720. Come on man... that is so tempting!!!
2) The overall cost of living is Singapore is lower than Malaysia (yes, you knew that too)
I hate all the nonsense (ie. crap) about Msia being cheap - it isn't - and don't let anyone fool you otherwise. Yes, it can be cheap if you buy a kancil and eat at hawkers everyday and stay in a low cost apartment. But otherwise, it is actually cheaper to stay in Singapore and many other places. (OK degenerating into complaining here)
If you earn SGD for a living - for the same job, you'd probably get at least 80% dollar for dollar of your current salary for a comparable job there. Sometimes even more. And with that kind of money, trust me, EVERYTHING there is cheaper than we are used to.
Just say you earn 10k here and you earn 8k in Singapore. The 8k you have in Singapore can buy you so much more. And I'm not even talking about Cars, etc. Housing isn't an excuse either. If you can buy a RM500k condo here, buying an SGD500k condo is pretty good as well.
But I guess we have been born in Malaysia for a reason lah!! ;)
God bless

Well, it is all relative. Imagining earning SGD and spending it in Malaysia. Then M'sia is really cheap. I guess the fancier stuff in KL is more pricey. How are the two brothers doing?
They're doing great!
Ryan getting naughtier.... Jaden getting chubbier :) haha (but according to official weight charts, his growth is starting to slow... now under 50% weight category).
