Could you imagine just by printing 5 pages of A4 Black and White, Microsoft-formatted document , would cost you $5? I was quoted the price when I approached one of the digital photocopying shop (it also does have photo-services) at the market, in my neighbourhood today. My black printer ink ran out again, while I was trying to print out a piano music score. Wow! $5 for just 5 pieces of normal black ink, isn’t that daylight robbery? Considering each piece of printed paper to be a dollar, just by printing exactly seventeen copies, I could easily replace a new cartridge. -_- (black shop)

Finally, I found a shop, which could print out my document at a way lower price, at $0.50/piece. Still kind reasonable, as I understand, they could have used a different printer. It’s definitely way cheaper to print in school. Hmm, I’m going to print all the scores I shall want to play over the weekend tomorrow. Wonder if the lecture books are ready for sale. I’m going to be in year 3, in just a matter of days, and pretty soon, I would graduate. I am unsure of whether I would still have the chance to study anymore. So, in this last studying semester, I would definitely do all my best, to increase my GPA.

Tomorrow’s my next driving lesson. I will have roughly about 10 more chapters to clear, before I would be able to book for my TP. I am PRAYING HARD, dun let me get car 64. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I did not fix him as an instructor, and neither do i have the intention to do so. So PLEASE! Don’t put him with me together. My patience do have some limit.

My bro bought back a big packet of rojak from the market in the afternoon. -_- He shared half the portion with me, and I was kind of reluctant at first. It’s not because I am biased towards him, but it was what TSS had said. Hmm, do those Rojak lovers, remember the recent Geylang Serai Poisoning Incident? Okok. Maybe that’s Indian rojak, the one my kor bought was the Chinese version, which contains you tiao, tau pok, pineapples, the yummy black sauce and nuts? Yes! U should had already get the idea.

I supposed most of us enjoy the black coloured, yummy sauce which mixes the rojak together, that give a pleasant aroma. The popular Rojak dish could even be one of your favourite treats, and could be rather addictive.

There’s one thing I guess which u guys wouldn’t really realize. That’s how the rojak sauce had been made. First, they mixed those ingredients such as the common shrimp paste, brown sugar, oyster sauce etc . together. Cook and mix them till they are in a constant form, and let them cool, in usually a tray, where-by they would leave it in the open for days, under the sun, and let the mixture rot, so it would thicken, and as well be more delicious. In some rural areas, houseflies, as well as other pests would be attracted to the sweet mixture, and thus, infect the mixture with bacteria, harmful diseases etc, if the mixture isn’t properly protected. After the sauce had thickened after a few days, it would then would be processed into bottles at the factories to be delivered and sold. (this information I had gathered is though what I had read online on forums etc basis, and not to be meant to be taken seriously, no offence either to anybody either)

I believe our food safety authorities had checked through our food products imported in carefully, and there shouldn’t be any qualms about the hygiene of the sauce though. So I guess, its still alright to take in some “poison” occasionally, but not frequently.
