More and more coffee research conclusions come out. The results are so promising. Drinking coffee is good to your heart, blood, brain, liver, skin, mental health, and whatever left in your body. Coffee makers are happy. Coffee addicts are happy. Everyone is on the good track. But it sounds to me just another big conspiracy.

Just paid over SGD 1000 for car insurance, another bill comes. It is vehicle licence fee. SGD 475.00 for 6 months, or SGD 950.00 for a year. Ain't they too greedy? 1K for insurance, 1K for licence, plus 3K for parking and ERP, and 3K for gas. It varies vehicle by vehicle, but pretty much in that range - 7 to 8 grands a year for driving a car in Singapore. Oh, yes, don't forget the car's value is decreasing year by year.

美国人在享受连锁店带来的方便的同时，一直在担心象StarBucks, PizzaHut这样的店子会挤跨那些社区小咖啡店， 老爸老妈经营的pizza店。使得原来很亲近友善， 大家都相互熟识关心的社区关系随之而消失。很多人向大都会涌去寻找梦想的同时，也失去了心灵的宁静而迷失的自己。这一题材的电影Hollywood也拍了不少，一个成功的NYC Sales, 或者LA Broker因为种种机缘被丢在了一个几乎时间停止流动的小镇上所发生的故事。一般他都会找到心灵的反省和一份真爱。《车》也是这样的一个故事， 不过都换成车了。如同PIXAR以前的CG动画制作一样，用昆虫，鱼，玩具来展开故事。 但是电影不愧是一种创作的艺术。同样简单的故事，加上精彩细致的电脑制作，富有创意的笑料， 大人小朋友就都看得高兴了。电影里的展现的66号公路周围景色，真的是让人看了赏心悦目啊。有些小细节，很生动。从LV开往LA的高速上，真的有一段从黑漆漆的荒野，突然峰回路转， 看见远处LA Metro的灯火辉煌。还有那个厌倦了LA生活的美女法拉力。车牌上的Tatoo, 被赞美后羞答答的表情，太搞笑了。如果是人， 不就是后面G-String部位常见的那种Tatoo吗？当然也有让小朋友看了哈哈笑的镜头。里头的车的风格和动感也很棒。 Pixar现在被Disney买了下来， 希望不要毁了那个一跳一跳的小灯。Disney最近出的两部CG动画真的是很烂。

Can you buy fake cheap brand replicas in Singapore. Yes, sure you can. The most interesting and popular T-shirt in Singapore is Hark Rock Cafe related. Most of them are cheap clone. My mother-in-law bought this LV alike child dress at some local markets for SGD 5. The background is LV. The deco image is Barbie. The trade mark brand is 90210. Nothing is real, and all pieces are ugly put together in one piece. This can only be used as a wipe cloth.

Recently when I pass through ERP gate at AYE Alexandra, my cashcard doesn't get deducted. That's good news. At least save me a buck. On LTA website, I find out the new rate is effective from 29 May 2006 to 24 June 2006. Don't know what the rate after 24 June. The rate adjustment could be related to the school holiday. Now Singapore schools are in holiday. The traffic is obviously lighter. So kids do effect traffic, and the government is sure in agility.
