English Lessons with Miss Tan

Delivered as promised.

After a day-long haggling with the hawkers for discounts, I was surprised by this obnoxious signboard. 'NO DISCOUNT. DON'T TRY.' Joyce and Si were good girls- they bought their shirts without bargaining or trying them on. Might have got taupok-ed if we tried either.

Okay this isn't part of the English lesson. But it dawned upon me that the single and double rooms were of the same price. Probably because the room size is the same, except that they put two pillows on the single size bed. (which what the inn we stayed at did! BOO.) Let's take a closer look.

Ok, that's pure cheap thrill.

This was pasted on the door. I felt reassured when Joyce thought she had spoilt the air-conditioner in the room that night.

One of my other cheap daily amusements just before we left for OBS-style shopping.

Lesson is now over.

Thank you Miss Tan. Have a nice day Miss Tan. God bless you Miss Tan.
