Just watched news on elections on Channel U. wow, perhaps becos i'm actually really taking part in the voting this year, i'm starting to take note of election stuff... but haiz, not that i used to be an apathetic youth, jus that... well...

I'll give you a scenario.

You keep eating Chicken Rice... Chicken Rice, good, the stall knows what you basically want, which is chicken and chicken-oiled rice. but now and then, they invite you back to their stall with many different things like... perhaps free eggs la, more veggies here and there la, lemon sauce for a limited period of time, or even discounted prices.

So, you keep going back to the Chicken Rice stall to eat. Not that you think it's so good or anything, but well, it has proven itself to be the best choice when your appetite is down.

But then, years down the road, you bound to get sick of it, no matter how... humans, they just get sick of things, not like monkeys, millions of years of evolution and they still like bananas. ops, off topic. so then, you start searching for other choices. you look at the other stall, it's selling mee pok.

you look at the condition, the plates are mostly spoilt, they don't provide sauces, heck, even the minced meat is lumpy and chunky. it's pretty obvious they don't know how to run the stall properly. sure, the stallholder say he has very good goals set for his stall, to outdo the Chicken Rice stall, and even become the number one mee pok stall. he wants this and he wants that, and he only knows how to criticize how badly the Chicken Rice stall is.

"Look at that plate, always use so colourful ones. that stall so naive, don't know that it's not about colours and attractiveness of plates but about the quality of food!"

"Give so much promotions, as if to hide the fact that the food is not so good."

"He never gives choices for his customers. Healthiness of food of cos important, but sometimes if customer wans more saltiness, should give them what. customers' views very important!"

(note the use of singlish.)

But then, his own stall, he doesn't even bother. say wanna sack his assistant one second, the next second his assistant say no such thing. but den, his assistant never bothers to turn up half the time, isn't a very useful person anyway.

so, seeing the condition, do you think you'll still choose the mee pok stall jus for a change of taste?
