I wouldn't if I were you... cause you're going over to M'sia to visit your relatives anyways, right? You can eat bak gua at their homes!Originally posted by sbst275:I dunno whether to buy or not
Or, if you arrive there before the shops close for the festive period, you can purchase it there at a cheaper price!

Trick to it is to change without asking herOriginally posted by Kan_i:You know after reading this from you, I have had a long and difficult discussion with my wife. But to no avail ,she will not, absoulutely not, thinks i am crazy not, threaten with divorce type not taking the baby back and exchanging him for a cat.
Well atleast i tried.
Kind of like a changeling u know
Yeah sure, she might ask why her baby isnt growing into an adult human
but by then she would have fallen in love with its wildness and independence
that it wouldnt matter liao

Yeap, that's what NTUC also does for festive goods...
Anyway, heard NTUC there the oranges they 'bao' the damages? -

I buy 1 carton of oranges from NTUC, they open the carton and replace 1 for 1 rotten orange?Originally posted by Rhonda:Har?? Sorry, I didn't get your last question. -
They should compile a booklet of the places featured in Coffee Talks and Hawker Woks Parts I & II! Would be awesome to know where the good food places are!

OK, much better!Originally posted by sbst275:I buy 1 carton of oranges from NTUC, they open the carton and replace 1 for 1 rotten orange?
Hmm... well, they ought to do that! Otherwise, who'll buy mandarin oranges by the carton from them? -
I dun see to itOriginally posted by Rhonda:OK, much better!

Because I import the orange, that's the condition... I can't possibly 'eat' the losses from these
End up I heard ppl become more stingy... See this carton got 1 or 2 rotten, I dun want

I liked to buy fruits from that old hawker ctr and market in Holland V. There's a fruit stall there where the owners are English-speaking and very friendly! They import lots of exotic fruits and they make good recommendations. Not sure if they'll have a store at the new Holland V market.
When you buy mandarin oranges from the market stalls, they can recommend the sweetest varieties to you. In Cold Storage, you just stare at the different types on display and don't know which to choose. And there's no one there to help promote the oranges too. -

K...Originally posted by Rhonda:sbst, sometimes, I find it hard to decipher what you're trying to say.
You can't expect the importer to take the losses from these rotten oranges... Because say I import 1000 carton, there are avg of 2 rotten ones per ctn, it can cost me $800 in losses! My profit margin or even labour cost cannot be covered!
That's why I know NTUC only emply p-t kaki for these jobs -

Hey, but at the same time, you can't expect customers who purchase from you to pay for rotten goods, right? That's not exactly good business practice. If that's the case, people would rather buy cartons of Mandarin Oranges from NTUC. -
But do you know that NTUC is actually not that willing to do so? It is only because it has enough manpowerOriginally posted by Rhonda:Orh...

They recover the losses by marking up other goods margin higher Their beer is no cheap! -
Ah well, I'm not going to buy an entire carton of mandarin oranges, so their practices won't bother me much!

Hahaha i love jet li movies and for that matter most action type flicks. But to assert there would/could have been chemistry is to assert that Jet Li can act.Originally posted by Rhonda:There is utterly NO chemistry bewteen Jet Li's cop character and his ang moh wife in 'The One'!! -
