Chitchat I went to RWS casino yesterday...

[AhMeng]

Some foreign clients in town and they wanted to go casino. Drove them there and paid LAN LAN $100 TAX to go in. Not that I want to gamble, but Bo Pian, got to keep them company.

I was thinking $100 can buy me lots of groceries in a NTUC supermarket trolley to last a week!!!

Well, while they baccarat and roulette away, I was walking around and surprised to see many young sinkies in their late 20s and 30s gambling away. Wow, these must be rich youngsters who do not need to work and gambling their lives away at casinos.

Lots of retiree sinkies too, and I hope they are not gambling away their retirement funds...

$100 cannot buy much things these days, NTUC toilet rolls have gone up to $5.15 for a pack or 30 rolls, you go buy fishes, $50 gone already...ok! no fish eat prawns...$30 , buy cooking oil another $20...ok now prawns but chicken another $20..

What I am saying...buying food stuffs at NTUC not cheap & not much with $100. For $100, 1 hr massage $50..limit your temptations....another $50 can get you some 'milk shakes'...$100 will be much more satisfying than shopping at NTUC Supermarket...provided you don't starve..but you are are satisfied & feeling ravished.

In economics...it is call opportunity costs...

$100 can use to survive for 10 days assuming $10 daily hawker meals

A packet of NTUC carrots cost 85cents to 90 cents.

A packet of mini romaine lettuce cost at most $1.30.

Half a Wong Bok costs less than $2.

5 tubes of Yakult less sugar is around $4.

A box of blackberries cost about $4.95 on offer at NTUC.

...and the list goes on...

I am sure my NTUC supermarket trolley can fill up quite a lot of groceries with $100 Indirect Tax that I paid to the Chenghu!

For me, I bought noodles, breads, eggs, meat and yong tau foo from NTUC that cost around $25.

These groceries can last me for 5 days

Cold Storage is 'Sure quality' Giant. Fresh and Safe.
In Singapore, is 'at door-step convenience' a key consideration or it is 'goodies entrapment loyalty'???

RWS no spa or massage? Better go there then accompany clients into casino.

My worry is for all these sinkie youngsters around late 20s and 30s... It will cost them dearly when they grow older and realise their folly...
