whopping prices of chesse K***t brand

Went to ntuc this evening and bought a loaf of white bread (just crave for it coz seems so long i havent ate soft white bread.) Then, tot of cheese, so went to the cheese section. OMG..that brand K**ft brand's double pack cost a whopping S$9!!~ It's single pack cost S$5. I got a shocked when i saw its price. The most expensive double pack ive bought before was S$6.50. It was a 41.5% increase in price. The Ntuc brand's single pack is only S$2.55. I compared it's nutritious value and the Ntuc one has more calcium and lesser salt (Sodium). So, bought the Ntuc brand, whichi is cheaper and more nutritious value. So scary, the rate of this item's price increase... Or does it means paying more for the Brand?

Read somewhere that some juices, rice and detergents are made from same factory but are labelled in different brands. Thus, the contents are the same no matter which brand you buy. Sony and Aiwa is from the same company. They have same/similar products. Think Aiwa is an obselete brand now. We have to be smarter consumers.

Morning went for a few meet ups and met SH for lunch. After that, met K to pass him his stuffs. His band will be performing on the Singapore street fest on 5.25. They will play Tokyo Jihen's songs. His jamming session is 5pm so we walked around at orchard. He didnt know that Porter shop opp Youth park, so i bring him there. He brought me to the ipod shop at cineleisure and the International Porter shop at Wisma. Vonnie, now i know wat u mean by International Porter. They have the same style as Porter except the logo is diff. Got price diff mah? I didnt see any of the price of International Porter.. K want to buy a computer bag for his laptop and is undecided which brand to buy. He saw a Calvin Klein Jeans tote bag at the ipod shop but it cost a whopping S$599. CK is like a cheapo brand to me. Told him i wun pay so much for this brand.

My Porter wallet's button is soo tight. I think i will spoil the button area soon,,,i dont dare to put too many cards coz it will make the button even tighter..haiz,,dunno wat to do with the button area. It seems so fragile...

Hey Christine, you are still awake at 3am/4am? Gosh, arent you tired at classes in the day time coz you slept soo late? Kinda worried about your health.. dont bother to reply my blog,,you had better turn in early!!~~

So long didnt go to the library and ive lost track of books...must go amazon to update on the new releases, else my brain will go senile.

Ive read a book (forget which title), it has a meaningful saying. It says, Our Brain is like a CPU. If there is nothing new going in, it will have nothing new coming out. It seems soo comon sense but how many ppl ever realised it? There's alot of books ive read which have similar notions but rarely ppl noticed it despite it is such a common sense. Another similar notion says "If you dont take care of your health/finance when you are young, your health/finance will not take care of you when you are old. Do you want to spend your last quarter of your life going in and out of the hospital, spending away all your hard earn $ during your youth time as medical bills instead of going on holidays? It stressed the importance of Health. What it says really makes me think and absorb it well. The 3 white "poisons" to our health. Sugar, Salt and Flour. I take them moderately.

Will always make it a point to learn something new whenever i can, in watever area... I dont want to be like my frens. They rarely touch a book after they graduate. They spend their days in routine... i fear such lifestyle... I must remember that my life is a colourful one (i add bright colours in it), not a dull one.

"The biggest tragic in life is not hatred, it is indifference". Reminds me of something Mother Theresa said before. It is something like "the worst feeling in the world is to feel unloved". She will hold the hands of they dying and tell them she loves them. In life, nothing is more important of being able to make a difference, no matter how small it is. Even if one day VS is closed, i'm happy that it had made a difference in some people's life. Must leave the world a better place than you first found it.

is it kraft cheese? if so it's the best X"D.

i don't know about that. i DO know that all shampoo is the same. i think it was shampoo, not conditioner. i heard it is dangerous to make so it is all made in one factory. or is that nail polish. i have bad memory and i only got about 2.5 hours of sleep.

i finished my 3 essays at 5AM and then i went to sleep for a bit. woke up at 8:30AM to read the book for my oral. i was soo exhausted today, and then i had a pop quiz in bio -_-".

i had planned to go to bed after buying the RENTRER EN SOI VIP tix for me and voni, but i was soo angry i could not sleep. i turned on my laptop at 3:40 and it froze. so i quickly restarted it, but whenever i restart it freezes my laptop to turn on the firewall -_-". it says that we will be lining up in order of when we got our tickets. tickets went on sale early at 3:59, and i got mine at 4:03 while caiko got hers at 4. i'm still upset about it even though i did some shopping and i watched a movie online to cheer up...i should not complain. at least i got tickets.....but i HATE stupid things like that. i am just not having a good day. OH! so i stayed up to do my essays, but he is not collecting them anymore until the end of the schoolyear........but it is best that i caught up and it is out of the way -_-".

don't worry about my health. i am strong as an ox...well maybe not x_X.

"The 3 white "poisons" to our health. Sugar, Salt and Flour."
crap. i love all three.

a friend recommended a japn. translated novel to me. i will read it and see how it is. i think it is called "Coin lockers baby" like the miyavi song.

i read a quote that goes something like, who you'll be in the future depends on the books you read, the people you meet, and something else in the meantime :).

"They spend their days in routine..."
i'm not afraid of routine as long as it is a happy one!

yes, you've definitely enriched my life ^_^! you are soo selfless!! it is soo admirable! i've complained to caiko that i feel like my life has no meaning and that i haven't found my purpose yet, but she says that i make her smile so it is good enough :].
