No crowd at Ikea and Giant Tampines

Yesterday Friday went to Ikea and Giant Tamp around 9pm....was surprised to see plenty of carpark lots in Ikea and Giant....a drop in significant volume of shoppers. Last time, u see many ppl even on Friday night at ikea....

Juz now go eat dim sum with my relatives, wah que damn long, need to wait den can eat, car park also full. When go home around 1 plus after the dim sum, que still there, CP filled with waiting cars for empty lot. After dim sum go vivo, even worst, all cp full at vivo and harbour front, with long car que waiting eagerly to enter into the CP, no choice need to go office building to park and walk to vivo, nowadays on the road most of the car r brand new car, SJ plate etc... sporean still enjoy lei despite the "bleak" outlook... I wonder the news on recession is it to give biz and co. excuse and opportunity to sack ppl but actually it is not as bad as what we read on paper on current spore economy condition. i remember that time 1997 asian crisis in comparison to the current crisis we facing, despite the current one hearsay is many time worst den 1997, the "feel" is totally different, 1997 recession i can really feel a real serious recession gg on, etc shopping center is like deserted like that, not many ppl, ppl worry abt jobs security, nobody dare to anyhow spend on luxury items like cars, housing etc, ppl commit suicide etc, can really feel the impact. The 2008 crisis dun seems to have an impact at all despite news keep saying recession, poor outlook, prepare to be retrench, cut salary etc.... I wonder how true r these info as it doesn't seems to reflect the current scenario...
