We took at bus to Jurong Point and we initially thought of having at Swenson but upon looking at their breakfast menu, we decided to give their severely overpriced breakfast a miss. We walked over to Long John Silvers which is not far ahead and we had a somewhat heavy breakfast there for half the price that of Swenson. As RK could not finish his share, I had to sacrifice my stomach space and ate some of his portion. :B
We banked in our coins at one of the local bank's coin deposit machine and we were always disgusted at the fee charged for depositing coins. This time round, we were charged nearly $12 for some $350 worth of coins.
Are the banks truly the modern day blood suckers?
We walked around Jurong Point after that for THL to get a few gifts for her family members and we took a bus home after that.
THL went off for her company dinner at around 4pm leaving me and RK at home. We took a short nap and we had Roti Prata for dinner at around 7pm. The prata from this shop is not really nice but it is good enough to satisfy both our cravings for prata. :D

Daily Afterthoughts:
Living standard in Singapore has really gone up tremendously over the last 2 years and I really pity those low income families who has to go on par with the raising standard of living. Speaking of which, just look at the fact that we can only "own" a car in Singapore for 10 years and after that we have to renew the COE again.
The Certificate of Entitlements (COE) had gone all time high since the last couple of years and if you still need owning a car in Singapore is cheap, think again. The money spent on a car in SG could really be saved and spent somewhere else (down-payment for Condo, Tour, Tonic, Enrichment programs for kids etc), no?
