Recent months the cost of almost everything is rising except our salary! Oil, from what i remembered a barrel of USD30 plus to now USD115....Our rice....only rice prices have increased but it allow the stallholder to find excuses to increase the price of their other food! sigh!!!A bowl of chicken rice cost $1.20 without chicken, a cup a plain water $1.00!!!and many more.....Next time go out remember to bring drinking water and more!
seeing doctors also cost more (almost double) from $20plus to now $40 plus, because they have new regulation with effect from 1 April to itemised their bill, i.e. to list down all the medicines and their price, as such we need to pay more. Lucky today i went back to see my old family doctor, they do itemised but can maintain the low price of only $20plus. If not just normal flu, cough without antibiotics will now cost $40 plus....otherwise, we really 能死不能病。
The most shocking is my girl's pre-school's fee. From my 1st girl's fee of $65 to now $96 and next year $122 (for short 3.5 hrs lesson everyday). The most expensive estate in Singapore! Other estates like woodland, yishun their charges just $30plus to $40plus and will increase to about $70plus from July. I dont understand why their charges can vary so wide! When all the PCF are in Singapore. Unless they are also practising matured estate price and new estate price...
