FOC! but it's not for me......

my pay has a 30% tax deduction n it's not 'refundable' like CPF

I guess that's how kiddies here get free stuff!

road manners

rarely can hear car honking here even during peak hours cuz drivers here r generally more patient...... even if the car in front of them is being washed by those street cleaners.......

tdy saw an ambulance trying to get into the city during morning peak hours, the city-bound traffic was not moving so it diverted to the adjacent opposite-direction road instead (there is no median divider on NZ roads)....... cars traveling in opposite direction automatically give way without hassle...... amazing!

where the pple really r

the squeezy feeling was back! scary!

laksa from packets

lighting up kiddies' imagination

the simplest foldable lantern cost $2!
