Has ah tiong sales personnels too. Guess you had more or less expected their presense there.

I was in town, at that mall to purchase a new power supply for my cpu tower, thus I 順便 asked about the prices of processers and motherboards.

I personally had to use chinese to ask them about the prices after they don’t really understand my clear pronunciation of ‘dual core’ and in the end telling me the price of quad core ones.

I wonder how will the foreign customers react when the ah tiongs tell them accidentally burp out the chinese version of dual core….cause in the end what myself, heard were all chinese ’shuang he, si he, chu li qi etc.

Learn proper english yo. Our MM said already, “new immigrants must master english!”

^%#&*@*! 去你X媽的. <–oops to clear any misunderstanding, that’s only for the ah tiong sales personnels there. Home grown singaporeans ftw!

Orchard Road’s flooded walkway a horror

March 2nd, 2009 by yuxiang

It may be pleasant looking at the walkway between the main MRT station exit and Wisma Atria at Orchard when it’s sunny.

But think of it, when it comes to a rainy day, you may have difficulty walking through the walkway. The following photos are taken when the rain has gone to a nearly stop. The worse situation is when the rain’s bigger!

Flooded! This isn't the worse! 2

It’s flooded! All because the portion of the walkway is steeped down and has the lowest level of the walkway there thus rainwater will naturally gush onto that portion, thus creating a mini flood of above 1 cm.

Visible reflections

Think of it again, it’s already months, and yet the management has done NOTHING. Walao, at least dig some holes for the water to sip into la. $#^$%^$%^

Oh wait. Think of it when tourists came to look upon this scene, ‘OMG, there’s a flood in Singapore, in town somemore!’
