We are quite lucky to have a 24 hours coffeeshop and a 24 hours mini-supermart. So for the sleepless in my neighbourhood, it is just a walk away to Fernvale Point. I was up at 5am and took a walk there. Not many customers. Fairprice has 3 packers arranging merchandise and a cashier. The kopitiam drink stall which also sell deep fried snacks has one. Maybe four or five customers. There is also a 7-eleven. I wonder how the 7-eleven survive beside a 24 hours supermart. The offering is limited and price a lot higher. The only thing I could think of the instant noodle with hot water provided.
It is also very quiet as everything has stopped for Chinese New Year. Most time, it is busy whether public holidays or Sundays. Hawkers will take a few more days of holiday. So cooked food will be a challenge for next week. I guess the foodcourts will be opened as their costs are high and they cannot afford to close for a few days.
It is closed to 7am and the sky is still dark. It is amazing the time change did to us. We used to be half an hour backward. That is 7am now was 6:30am. So the sky turn at about this time. Today, daybreak is half an hour later. So I think school should start half an hour later too but it did not. So our school going kids are going into sleep debt. This is not good for society. We are stressed by insufficient sleep.
