Inflation coming to hit us hard.

I have never put up the price of my massage service to give back to society.

Enjoy a good rubbing session at no extra cost.

I just want people to be happy.

if its genuine reason then i have no qualms about it. but some stall owners are just greedy. A similar foodcourt stall here my house the fish beehoon is 5.5 before the 10% dc from the kpt card. how many poor old people can afford a meal of at least 6 dollars? The one near my parents is the only coffeeshop in the estate and they probably think because of that they can charge higher. there is another stall near my house selling "upmarket" Japanese food. 9 dollars for a plain udon soup and 13 dollars with 2 pcs of fish cake and an egg. no surprise that they closed down within a year. 

well it's just pure economics. 

I sorta find the people who have more upmarket concepts find it very tough. 
If it's cheap, then it low margin then there's infinite competition. Like some people can eat their morning noodles/beehoon like 3-4 times a week from the same stall. Cai peng relies on the above. 

No one eat korean/jap/fancy concept food everyday, so they have to go higher margin to make up for less repeat daily customers. So it becomes very hard to balance their product for the demand.
Only CBD area or those areas beside a large pool of office workers has enough demand to meet such supply.

Anyway if they underestimate the market, they will just close down period lor. No need to say they are greedy or what lah. It's just economics. 

Of course if u see them driving in with contis etc, haha feel free.  😄

@Ody_2004  I agree. Even $8k per month, you will barely pull through the month.

$8k per month must see how many mouths you need to feed. If single $8k should be quite good. But if you need to feed 5 people in the house, then maybe barely enough.

the coffeeshop at my parents, the lady boss drives S class. always sit in the car and read newspaper and she owns more than half the stalls there... 

It's good that you think everything is pure economics... but yeah, not everyone practice that. like i mentioned, they can just charge higher when there is no competition around. its business but i pity alot of the old folks there who frequent the coffeeshop.

Old folks should cook and eat at home more often. Cheaper and healthier. And you may see the lady boss downgrade to C class....

CAN lah! Govt NPARK spent so much money to beautify the park and beach leh... bring kids to beach loh.. still got attached toilet to clean up leh! where to find? whahahahahha...

for adult can go Sentosa Siloso for Boobsbastic view.. cheap cheap lah! whahahaha

That's a really good idea.

Kids these days is all video games and handphone and Ipad.

And fast food.

I think I will take the kids for a walk in the park and a stroll on the beach

and pack a few sandwiches and plain water.

Give the kids a healthy lifestyle and some fresh air and sunshine.

Bring joy into their lives.

Who wants the stress of modern day life?

Handphones and Ipads and Metficks and cinema and fast food and popcorn and ice cream and burgers and fried chicken?

Downgrade from S class to C class a bit too much. Maybe the lady boss would degrade to E class first. Lol.

[Beregond]

big fish big meat every day die faster also😂

[Jamesc]

This remind me of my colleague who said last time she dating her bf now

husband he like to take her parks one.

She says she don't like so hot and got mosquitoes.

I said a girl like her he should at least bring her to H81.

She hasn't spoken to me since.
