Nowadays, when listening to music, we can’t not to talk about MP3, MP4 or MP5 player.

20 years ago, many music albums were still released in cassette format. Cassette albums began to disappear in the market with the introduction of CD, DVD and other digital recording format such as digital audio tape and MiniDisc.

Since Oct 2001, Apple introduced the iPod portable music player and has changed the way we get our favorite music.

Now, we are buying digital music from the net and download into the MP3/MP4/MP5 player or our mobile phone.

The cassette player in the background is old Walkman and my wife use her LG Shine mobile phone to enjoy her music.

What I hate the most from this stall is Queue.

Zhen Zhen Porridge is located at the famous at Maxwell Road Food Centre. There are many types of porridge (for example fish, chicken meat) and the servings portion are quite generous, you can put lots of spring onion, ginger slices, chili as topping for your porridge. And the best part is very cheap.

For this bowl of fish porridge is only SG$2.50.

Is worth the wait or not? Up to individual lah.

Generally, Singapore is pretty clean and wants to remain that status.

However, when you step into the HDB heartlands, you will find that some residents do litter, especially floor near to the letterbox area are full of leaflets. Also irresponsible people sticking advertisements all over the place, resulting walls being dirtied when the sticky paper ads are peeled off.

Dirty Letterbox Area

Unsightly Lift

I hope everyone should maintain our neighborhoods clean and comfortable.
