Inflation Frenzy!

Wow i'm really shocked by the impact of inflation in singapore..
Govt is doing "relatively" well in controlling..But somehow its jus not enough..
And my rational father is trying to teach me some tips on how to save money..
okay first up, we ate at kopitiam !! gosh...
not that kopitiam cannot eat la..but i jus book out le !!
nvm abt that...at least its nice..
den i was abt to pay with my $$$ den my dad flash out this blue shinning card...for a moment i thought, dad are u mad? needa pay by card?
however after a bit of scrutiny at the card, its a kopitiam card !
it entails me with 10% discount..
alright, so i saved 50cents in trying to buy a 5 bucks dish... YIPEE!

Okay den after a small event on how to save $$ by eating, my dad went to buy drinks..
he bought this can of Lemon tea..
Gosh i cost $1.70..okay so with the 0.17cents discount, its still $1.53 !!
And i can get it at the ABC shop near my hse there for 50cents!
HAHAHAHAHAHAH...den my dad gave me a "du diao" face...
hmmm maybe its best to see the price before we buy again..
HAHAHAHHAHA !! alright its funny..

Alright den dad still persistant to show me how to save $$$$
we walked to bread talk...
he asked me which cake i like..
hmmm the strawberry cheesecake was seductive...
after which, he told me to walk with him around IMM until 830pm..
reason ? after 8.30pm, bread talk sells everything for 30% discount...
true enough, and we bought the cake..
and its nice ! =DD

hmmm okay... i was reading this book; The Economic Naturalist(Why economics explains almost everything) by Robert H Frank..
so i'm quite tune in to economics for this period..

Inflation is inevitable nowadays with the economics downturn and the oil prices rising..
Goods tend to be higher in price...
i'm sure everyone agrees..but i found out one trend..
Are the Bosses and monopolies taking advantage of this period to increase their goods and services beyond their increased in cost of production??
Quite a hot topic last yr...nicholas and i were quite pissed abt this i rmb..
Mac's ice cream cone...used to be 50cents..
it jumped to 60cents after govt reveal the inflation was 8% last yr..
does 50cents to 60cents looks like a 8% increase?
okay den a can of drink cost for the bosses is 50cents with purchase in bulk..
it cost $1.10 last yr....now $1.70..
Thats a big increase..
In all, govt can really help by controlling the prices directly?
yes its not efficient as we learn in economics( failure of market forces to determine the prices)
but then again..
its really too much...

okay thas all, i wanna go celebrate birthday for suzhen my pri sch, pri sch band, sec sch, sec sch band and taekwondo fren ! =DDDD
