Chinese New Year is kind of over even though we are supposed to last for 15 days. There are still lot of visitings i.e. the road to our home which is usually clear are full of parked cars from visitors to a condo nearby.
For me and my family, we are back to our usual routines. It is tuition, piano class, tuition, homework and study. We eat out to have a break from home-cook food.
Prices in our ubiquitous hawker centres has gone up. This morning in Bedok, all the Malay food stalls have increased their prices by $0.50 i.e. $2.50 is now $3 for the usual mee siam, mee rebus, tauhu goreng. A 20% increase! What used to be priced at 3/4/5 has 3 blank out! This is $3 is no longer available. My usual teh halia is at $1 per cup. Nasi Lemak this morning is $4.50 per plate. It is a little dear to even eat at hawker centres. No wonder it may be a hot election issue in the coming months.
