Watched 27 Dresses with Eileen yesterday. The movie was quite interesting and funny. Worth the price that I paid for, considering that I watched it on a weekend. :D
Walked around Orchard after dinner. While in Wheelock Place, we came across this picture...This picture of my TS1101E lecturer Dr. KK Seet. Damn scary can! Seeing your lecturer's face on a non-school day.
We also went to Isetan to look at the freaking expensive strawberries and melons. Comtemplated buying those strawberries because Japanese strawberries are like so delicious but finally decided that it was just not worth it. I'm a damn poor student. Anyone wants to donate money to me? Instead, I bought my favourite...dango~!!! Seeing that there was only 2 packets left and being the kiasu Singaporean that I am, I quickly took one packet of the shelf and rushed to the payment counter. While digging through my wallet for money, I caught sight of the expiry date printed on the packet.
Eh? 04.01.08? Isnt that like 1st of January (following the day/month/year format)? Since it was the 2nd of February, the dango must either be damn bad or they printed 01(Jan) instead of 02(Feb). Just in case, I asked the cashier if there's any mistake on the expiry date label. She peered at the label, thought of it for a while and told me that it should be okay because they just displayed the dango out today. Still, they can just tell me that they printed the label wrongly...I mean, what's wrong with admitting their mistake? She then asked her colleague next to her and her colleague told her that the expiry date was 1st of April, based on the month/day/year format. I was stunned...since when in supermarkets did we use the month/day/year format?
Nosy parker customer A then intruded into our conversation and said that in Japan(because we were in the Japanese supermarket, Isetan), the month is written first. My foot la...in Japan, normally it's written in the year/month/day format. Even if they were correct, I dont think that you can store dango for like 2 months! In Japan, the dango that are sold in the supermarkets expires in like 2-3 days...not months. Anyway, I still think that I'm correct, in the sense that they typed the label wrongly. :D
Why am I writing this anyway?!!! -.-
