Last week was all about queueing up. People queue here, queue there, queue everywhere to get the things they want. When was the last time you ever queue up for something?

Tues. Was queueing up for the prawn/ pork ribs noodles at Far East Square during lunch. Had a late lunch. But there are queues at 2pm. My impression was that people had gone back to offices by then.

Weds. There was a long queue at the lottery counters. Checked the odds for thurs. It's not a super attractive prize money anyway. So why the queue?

Prize Group/ Share Amount (each)/ No. of Winning Shares
Group 1/ $356,431/ 4
Group 2/ $21,304 / 15
Group 3/ $548 / 584
Group 4/ $295 / 1,086
Group 5/ $30 / 19,869
Group 6/ $20 / 22,061


Thurs. Apparently, there's a special 4pm issue for The NewPaper and evening issue for TODAY. One is for sale, one is free. But The Newpaper comes with a free Men's Health magazine with every purchased. Still, there's a queue for those who are interested in GE and stuff for both papers.



Fri. Don't know which idiot let out the news that our progressive package was deposited earlier into the banks that caused a major queue at most ATMs when it suppose to in on 1st of May. Most of them were the elders or old folks, the less internet savvy you may call. While the more savvy people able to access via internet-banking. But still, it gets on my nerves when i just merely need to draw some cash.

I heard that even several refills of money/ notes in the banks could not satisfied the hungry people. For some banks were cash-dry on friday.

Sat. We were having supper at Bencoolen St. There was a long queue of taxis not by the side of the road but on the main road behind the traffic lights. It looked as if the taxi drivers( all different companies) went on rally. New party for election? They can call themselves, KTDP, Kopitiam Taxi Driver Party. While our "garmen" have meetings in the parliment house, the taxi drivers also can have "meetings" at neighbourhood kopitiams all over singapore. Better still, if it's operating 24 hrs. The meetings can be held with no time-zones and with more efficiency. They always have something to say for every issues. Even, for the early deposits of progressive package;

Taxi Driver: " of course lah. Ah Gong( the context for "garmen") only have so few people working for them. Singapore got so many people. They got to start early to make sure all eligible citizens get the money by Labour Day. If not, they will complain. People complain means people buay song. Ah Gong scare they will lose more votes when people buay song. So must do sui sui. They happy, Ah gong also happy.

xiaoqiang: "....... (-,-!)"

anyway saw this joke in one of my emails... Have a good laugh.

Xiaoqiang wanted a girl in his school very much but she belonged to someone else.

One day Xiaoqiang got so frustrated that he went up to her and said,
" I'll give you a 1000 dollars if you let me make love to you...."

but the girl said," NO."

Xiaoqiang said," I'll be fast, I'll throw the money on the floor, you bend down,
I'll be finished by the time you pick it up."

She thought for a moment and said that she would have to consult her boyfriend. so she called her boyfriend and told him the story.

Her boyfriend ," ask him for 2000 dollars, pick up the money very fast. He won't even be able to get his pants down."

So she agrees and accepts the proposal.

Half an hour goes by and the boyfriend is waiting for his girlfriend to call. Finally after 45 mins the boyfriend calls and asks what happen.

She said & quote: "THE F***ER USED COINS!!"
