I also witness live CID making arrest and the ah bengs run like mad with ah bengs(CID) chasing them over at SLS. Was surprised that the CID all were quite young and dressed like the ah bengs too. Only when they are handcuffed and brought back to the shop then I know who was the CID. I seen a 'group' of youngster bengs surround a guy at a coffeeshop. At 1st thought gang fight going to happen soon and was about to shift to a farther seats incase the fight happens. But what happens next took me by surprise, as the guy who look was arrested by the bengs.. What was ironic is the guy arrested look more decent than the beng police. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster 5th Gear December 4, 2009 Share December 4, 2009 Bro, if u r someone who often frequents sim lim, u'll know that quite a few stores will charge extra 2-3% if you go by credit card payment. Thats becos its the price the credit card companies charge them. However, they will usually tell you that before hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CID don't want the whole world to know that they r the police else how to do surveillance & ambush? I remember one time, a few years ago at aljunied MRT hawker ctr, i saw what i thought was an attack by the opposing gang against a few ah-bengs selling pirated VCDs. After they were handcuffed, then i realised that the "opposing gang" is actually the CID Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticklish8 3rd Gear December 4, 2009 Share December 4, 2009 Alamak see so many negative comment from Sim Lim. Just share some positive comment. My computer blow up after 2 years about 1 month back, tot wanted to throw the hard disk and get a new desktop. But budget was tight. Was waiting for bonus in Dec. Last Sat, itchy went Sim Lim square. Read abt HWZ some of the computer shop recommended and visit the shop at 5th floor. Unfortunately they do only laptop... On the way back, wife notice this computer shop doing repair, quite a messy place, so just tikam2 ask whether they do repair. They said yes, why dont bring my hardisk to have a look. So I just bring. Found out the power supply blow up so need to get new one. Change for $50 plus $30 service charge. In the end the boss waived the service charge. Then decide to upgrade the desktop from 1 gig to 4 gig. Now the computer as good as new and much faster...phew... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
