Every year nearing chinese new year, i'm sure singapore retail industry will see a sudden increase in sales. Everything from everyday household items (especially those cleaning stuffs, soft drinks) to undergarments (its considered auspicious to wear new stuffs?) to bak kwa's. For myself, minimal requirements is to get something to wear that is not black in color and everything else can recycle old one. Went to change money yesterday and the exchange rate has dropped from something like 226.15 to 225.19 within a day. But then, me not changing in thousands... so still ok bah. Probably rugi about 2 plates of black black hokkien mee. Haha!

Finally fixed up my TV card, and thus the days of Japan Hour is finally back again! Been deprived for at least 2 months or so.. no TV! We did call up the repair guy but he quoted like $180 to fix the Sony 38" TV. Owner said that if we fix it, then we pay.. else no need to fix also never mind. This owner good hor? Last time, when we rented in Yew Tee also, the owner charged us everything! The washing machine spoilt within few months of our arrival and we had to pay $150 for it. Hng! But now some of the contracts will state that if anything below $100 then the person who rents the place will pay, anything above $100 then owner will bear the difference in cost. Like that hor, I'd advise don't rent those old old place. I've ever stayed in Serangoon North (old flats) and during the last 2 months prior to contract end, the light bulbs dieded one by one. We replaced about 4 of them! Hah! Paid liao only get to enjoy short while, not worth it man!

Haha, lots of stories to tell about renting outside. But that'll be another time, another day. For now, just lots of packing and last minute shopping to do!
