yeah....Things will only get better

Yesterday was National Day. I shall not blog about the parades, the carnival and the other stuff because everyone is blogging about it. You can find it in the papers too.

How many of you actually received the sms notifying you of the 40% discount in petrol prices during 4pm-8pm ? Several of my friends did and they informed me about it. I'm sure it will amount to a lot of savings.

I didn't have the chance to queue up at the petrol station. I'm glad I didn't.

Text message claiming 40% petrol discount is a hoax

SINGAPORE : A text message that has been circulating claiming that all petrol stations would offer a 40 percent discount on Tuesday is a hoax.

But that hasn't stopped queues from forming at petrol station in several parts of the island from about 4pm.

The SMS claimed that all petrol stations would be giving a 40 percent discount off petrol prices between 4pm and 8pm as part of Singapore's National Day celebrations.

Channel NewsAsia contacted petrol stations like Shell, which said this was not true, and that the traffic congestion was causing safety problems.
