Yeo's packet drinks are sold at just A$2.50 for a 6-pack in Victoria St. Yours is way overpriced!Originally posted by sbst275:I saw Yeo's Packet Drink, A$4 for 1 6's pack
There's also the Yeo's Soya Sauce in glass bottle, it's neither cheap but forgot abt the price alrdy...
Also I saw a 2lit sesame oil from Sime Darby
I love how there are so many Singapore and Malaysian products available in the grocery shops here. I've found Glory's Kaya, Glory's Nyonya Sambal and Anchovies Sambal, Kimball's Chilli Sauce, Chicken Brand Peanut Oil, Yeo's Sauces, Maggi Instant Noodles and Sauces, etc. There are also frozen fish / prawn / meat balls from Singapore.

Yeah, there's lots of Asian food here..
Came back never purchased some chocolates but not Cadbury... Cadbury bars the price is like might as well just buy in SG, it's no where cheaper -
Anyway...
@ Penguin Parade should have taken pic of that signboard
It says sort of this... Look out for penguins underneath your vehicles bef you leave
Goodness, they can be anywhere -
Did you just visit Melbourne?Originally posted by sbst275:Anyway...

I assume you're talking about the Philip Island Penguin Parade?
Yeah, they can be everywhere! They are very small and very cute! Some of them are indecisive as well. It's very funny to see a group waddle up with confidence with one lagging behind, then suddenly, it decides it's too scared so it runs quickly back to the water!
One penguin strayed from it's group and was walking up to my colleague and I (we were sitting on the beach). We held our breaths, hoping not to scare the little one. Then, some (*@#)*(&!@# PRC tourists had to run down the stairs like a noisy herd of hippos exclaiming in Chinese, "Penguins! Penguins!!"
Scared off the little fella!

Nay I won'tOriginally posted by Rhonda:

I may find rodents cute (inclusive of chinchillas) but I'm afraid they may bite so I doubt I will keep them
At the same time, shrews have very short lives -
Haha so cuteOriginally posted by sbst275:Anyway...

You weren't scared of being stung by a sting ray, which can result in instant death, but you're scared of being bitten by hamsters and chinchillas?! -

Yeah, saw 1 group of them... 6 of them together waiting for each other at the beach
They're really shy -
The penguins are really cute! They return to their homes with a dogged determination. Every night, it takes them a while to be convinced that it's safe to get out of the waters before they start their sporadic parade, but once they do, they're quite fast!
You can see the different characters of the penguins - from the scaredy cats to the indecisive ones to the leaders! -

I suspect they have a fixed return route on land bah? -
heyy rhonda... are u .. already back in Singapore? I am wondering if u can help me to buy a DVD from australia... they dont seem to sell it here..
-
I think all the penguins there suffer from STML (Short-Term Memory Loss) because EVERY FREAKIN' NIGHT, they do the same walk up the same beach and face the same crowds and yet, EVERY FREAKIN' NIGHT, they will do the same hesitation ritual!Originally posted by sbst275:Yes

Can't blame them... brain cavity too small.

honeymouse said the other day that Australia DVD's are PAL whereas Singapore ones are NTSC. I didn't know that so when I went home to check, she's right - it's the PAL format here.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:heyy rhonda... are u .. already back in Singapore?

Not sure if you'd be able to play the DVD's from here.
It's regional code 4 here as well. -

Yeah... But I heard the koala bear is facing extinction? -
Now I know what the water restriction means
- No washing of car
- No watering of plants
- No bathing using tubs or spa at home -
ooh.. shucks..Originally posted by Rhonda:honeymouse said the other day that Australia DVD's are PAL whereas Singapore ones are NTSC. I didn't know that so when I went home to check, she's right - it's the PAL format here.

Sad but true.Originally posted by sbst275:I see...

I mean, look at our resident Polar Bear here... whole day for the past few years keep talking about Mrs Bear but never did anything concrete towards that goal, so have lost a few productive years, never reproduce baby polar bears to help sustain the population. How not to face extinction?!
Anyways, seriously speaking, they are losing their habitat too fast because the climatic changes have resulted in the ice caps melting faster and earlier than before. These poor bears have to swim longer distances out into the sea to catch their prey, and most of them end up too tired to swim back to the ice caps, so they drown.
It's not just their habitat that's fast disappearing... their sources of food are getting depleted too!
