Here is a quiz for you. What is the name of this song?

buy 2 get 1 free

I was looking for frozen chicken wings (those seasoned ones used for snacks). I saw a certain brand at a FAIRPRICE supermarket. The picture of chicken wings on the packet looked quite appetizing. They are product of Turkey. I thought of buying a packet.


Then I saw a notice which said Buy 2 get 1 free. Three packets? I haven't eaten this type before so I only wanted to try one packet. Also, my freezer was already quite crowded, I didn't want to put in another 3 packets of chicken wings.

If I buy one packet, I would feel like I have been short-changed.

In the end I bought another brand, one that I have tried before. Normal price, no special offer..

childish

Once upon a time I was driving along a road and looking for a certain building in an area I was unfamiliar with. So I drove slower than normal. A male driver behind me was not happy. He honked me. He was following too close. So, I increased my speed a little to give him chance to overtake.

Later he had the chance to overtake me. After that he cut into my lane and suddenly slowed down. Then he purposely drove slowly - slower than I. So I had to slow down further. He thought he could irritate me.

I find his actions childish and risky. It could have caused an accident.

Soon he lost patience. No, he didn't come and box me. He lost patience with his own slow driving. He drove off.

Maybe in future I could make a banner and display it at the back windscreen - Driver not familiar with area.

use the rod .....

棒下出孝儿

I came across this Chinese saying while watching a period drama. It means that if you use the cane, you will produce filial sons. Do you agree with this? I guess most of you do not.

Nevertheless I think there are parents in China who not only believe in this but they carry it out too.

Perhaps some of you believe there is some truth in this proverb: Spare the rod and spoil the child.

My view is that it is more important to be strict and firm with your children and not let them climb over your head. If you are a teacher, that applies to your pupils too.

Pupils, including the trouble makers, respect teachers who are strict and not teachers who try to be popular.

opera at Ang Mo Kio

This group of temples are at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10. The street in front is Street 44.


The opera shows on the three days were to celebrate the birthday of the Goddess Matsu (天后诞). The opera stage and audience section were at the foreground of the temples The area was quite small. That night, the smoke from the temples drifted over to our eyes a few times.


These were the lead sheng and dan, 文劍斐, 裘倩儂 .




From the photos, I think many of you will know what the opera is. It is a Yam-But classic.

I do not know anything about the dan. The sheng is quite well-known and she performed well. But, on the whole, I find the presentation of the opera quite disappointing. If you ask me good to see or not (好看吗), I could only say fair..
