Fuel Surcharge for Taxi.
Every heard of it before?
Well, starting from this Thursday, 17 July, majority of the taxi in Singapore will be charge 30 cents for fuel surcharge.
Ok... let see.
If you take the taxi during normal hours (off peak), you have to pay fare + fuel surcharge.
If you take the taxi during peak hours, you have to pay:
Fare
35% peak hour surcharge
ERP
30 cents fuel surcharge
Aiyah... forget it lah.
Can't even bother to vent already.
What's the use?
If you are staying in Singapore, you have to live with it or get out.

Singapore EP System in year 2010
More ERP Gantries are going up and by the end of 2008. I think this has totally gone out of hand. But who are we to complains or make any comments.
Someone post this on a forum I am in. It's hillarious. Why laughing at it is all we can do isn't it?
Don't be too happy if you're a non-car owner.... This could be next!
Seriously, if you want to know where all the gantries are, here's the real map:

蔡淳佳(Joi Chua) - 依恋(Je m'appelle Hélène)
Chinese version to Je m'appelle Hélène - Hélène Rollès.
Even Jor loves this song (Helene Rolle's version) and he can be found humming to this song when he's playing his NDS. :D

What Hawthorn can do for you?
This is the article from the U-Weekly magazaine.
What is Hawthorn?
Hawthorne (Crataegus) is deciduous and a member of the rose family. The common name for hawthorne comes from haw, which is an old English word for "hedge." The tree's name simply means "thorny hedge."
The hawthorne is native to the Mediterranean region including north Africa and all of Europe and central Asia, and now grows in many areas of North America. It is a tree that rapidly changes due to hybridizing, which causes it to appear in more than a thousand different species.
What can you do with Hawthorn?
Culinary and Medicinal Uses
Both ancient and modern herbalists have successfully used hawthorn for its food and health benefits. Modern science shows that hawthorne contains chemical components which are sedative, anti-spasmodic and diuretic. If you intend to use it for medicinal purposes, look for C. laevigata, C. monogyna, or C. pinnatifida, as these hybrids are known best for their medicinal uses. Read how to make a tincture or an infusion using hawthorne flowers or berries.
The hawthorne berry is one of the best cardiac tonics available, and is often used to treat high blood pressure.
Hawthorne berries are used to treat childhood diabetes. See Cautions.
Hawthorne flower tea is a safe diuretic.
Hawthorne berries, dried and crushed and made into a decoction, eases diarrhea and dysentery, kidney inflammations and disorders. See Cautions.
The young hawthorne leaves can be used as a safe, and non-nicotine tobacco substitute for those who desire to quite smoking. Enhance the flavor and help heal the throat by adding yarrow, mint, coltsfoot or mullein.
Chewing the hawthorne leaf has been known for centuries as a safe way to give nourishment, revive energy, and a feeling of well-being. That is why it can be used to treat those who have problems with apprehension, insomnia and despondency. Chewing hawthorne leaves takes away that "tummy grumble" when you"re hungry. That is why the hawthorne became known as the "bread and cheese" tree, giving as much sustenance as a plate of bread and cheese.
The hawthorne leaf-buds are good cooked (10 to 20 minutes) and have a similar taste to lima beans. They make a great addition to chilis and soups.
You can make jellies and fruit sauces from the berries, just make sure you strain the sauce. Hawthorne berries contain their own pectin so the sauce or jelly will thicken nicely.
Hawthorne flowers are edible and make an attractive addition to salads and other dishes.
Hawthorne seeds can be roasted and used in a manner similar to coffee.
