Of revelations and confusions

Why is it that Singapore is a Lion City, and the beer made here is called Tiger Beer?

Singapore won against Malaysia against last night’s match. Super taiko. And I only realized last night that the Tiger in Tiger Cup means Tiger Beer. That happens when I don’t watch soccer at all.

I dun understand how people can smoke around their own children.

Why is cigarettes invented?

Regarding the GST increase, PM Lee said that he rather take medicine in one shot, than to split it up into two times. But I think it would be better if you are never ill at all.

Dad mentioned this sometime this week: why is it that people who are poorer than to pay more? He gave the example of taking public transport. We, the non-poor ppl, use the EZ-link card, and pay, let’s say 65cents for a bus ride. But people who are really poor, have to pay 80 cents for the same bus ride, coz they are unable to fork out the $7 at one go to get an EZ-link card. So the 15cents more gets multiplied, and they pay much more.

Another example is the buying of groceries. A 250ml carton of milk cost 85cents, and a 1L tetra-pack milk costs $2.20. Which one would someone who is really poor buy? The one which cost lesser right? And in this case, the 85cents, 250ml milk, because they are only able to pay that much, at that moment.

Too much thinking done in one post. Toodloos!
