Day 7: Groceries!

Today i didnt actually do much. Woke up in the morning and went online to chat for awhile. Then, the spore couple i met here sms me and told me that they were going to have lunch in the village and asked me whether i want to join them. Coincidently, i was on my way to the village for branch so i joined. Then, i realised that there is a food centre there! In the food centre, there are jap food, korean food, indian food, and also thai food. So, i tried the beef soup noodles coz i'd been craving for soup since i arrived here. To my surprise, the noodle was really nice! I think the stall owner is an authentic thai.

After havin my noodles, i headed down to the supermarket (superior) to buy groceries so i dun hav to eat out everyday. I had planned to call a cab after buying all my stuff coz there was no way i could carry them back to my home by myself. I bought all the food that i thought i would need and i reckon these supplies can last me for bout 10 days =)

When i went to bread section, i was quite shocked. All their breads were like in extra large sizes! I tried my best to find the smallest packet available and this is what i bought.

For those who cant visualise how big this loaf of bread is, it is about double the normal loaf of bread we usually buy in spore. And this was the smallest that i could find. I think i will hav to eat bread 2 meals a day to finish this loaf in 1 week. Ha...

In the supermarket i discovered they had this very cute express counter. Their express counter is different from spore in the sense that u hav to scan the items urself. After scannin u hav to put the item in the bag coz there is a sensor and it will hav to sense that there is an addition of the appropriate weight before it allows u to scan the next item. Then after paying, if ur change is only coins, then u can collect directly from that counter. If there are notes, there is another counter for the express counters which gives the change to the customers =) Interesting huh.

After buying all my stuff, i went outside to wait for my cab and while waitin, i saw a limo being driven in.


It was realli damn big lor. I started imaging how it would be to be driven around in a limosine in spore. Kaoz even Mr LKY also dun hav such treatment hor.... hee... So, my cabby arrived and guess wad... the car plate of my cabby v nice lor. 4d anyone?

These are the groceries that i bought today:

And for all these things that i b.ought, it only costed me USD50. Not too bad la hor. Coz i tried my very best to get the cheapest available. In spore i was never like this de lor. Now i like auntie like tt. Wadever i buy i will look at the price first. Kaoz... Go back spore dunno whether will still be so auntie or not. Heehee...

And for those who cares, my poor little knee looks alittle worse today. Still painful but wont kill =)
