SG girl back in SG after 20 years - few observations
- Search for items to buy is not as straightforward. I’ve been trying to locate a French press to buy, can’t find a single shop that sells it, tried google search as well. NTUC seems to have it on their website but they don’t tell me which store. Amazon delivery is in 3 days.
- Shops are very stingy about tissue. Why not give serviettes with food?
- Singapore claims to have best service but I see that it’s not a global standard; they just compare themselves with other Asian countries? Really service is quite bad
- Phone zombies everywhere. People refuse to look up. The only people who have their heads up to look around are tourists / foreigners. Everyone else is in their little bubble and do not smile
- I forgot how awkward Singaporeans are. I once was in a long ass taxi queue. When my turn for a taxi came and there were still a dozen people in the queue, I called out loud to ask anyone going to Ang Mo Mio so they can share a taxi with me, no one even responded. Everyone just started straight at me like I’m weird.
- Healthy food choices are minimal. My work is around Science Park. I just need some vegetables. Salads, fruits, impossible.
