Vivo's Black Sheep
If you are observant and calculating enough, you would have noticed the unusually steep pricing of the VEGETABLES at $1.20 and would have imagined a serving of greenies commensurate with the cost, say maybe AT LEAST 1 recognised serving of vegetables i.e 3/4 glass full. But it was far from it. The amount was so small that I could count the number of leaves and stalks on the plate with my ten fingers, what then could beef up the argument for such exorbitant prices? No, there was definitely no gold flakes embedded in between the fibres and on the whole, the Nasi Lemak was of a mediocre standard, nothing special at all! What's more, the service of the stall owner was lacking and in a blatant act of deceit, no price tags came along with any of the dishes that were displayed. (You only know the total price at the counter, so you can imagine the shock I received when it registered $5.20 for an undeserving meal.) I seriously had a good mind to wreck their business by discouraging their potential customers from patronising afterwards, but for the sake of discretion, I decided to post this entry here to warn friends against the dishonest stall owner. What saved the image of VivoCity was finally the night scene along the waterfront promenade.
If you like witchcraft, The Covenant is for you but beware, described as a foiled attempt to hybridize Harry Potter and Fantastic 4, the movie reminded me of lame street fighters as the power-holders sent photon-like packets of energy flying all over the place. It just looked so juvenile.
Anyway, call me mister from now on. ORD loh!
