Model...


No I am not talking about fashion model if that is what you are thinking.

Waking up early in the morning, I would make my way to Bedok Interchange to take a bus to my work place near Changi Prison. As I strife my way thru the bustling of busy street with full of people queuing for food at the interchange hawker centre, what caught my eyes are the stall of different cuisines that stall owner offers.

I am wondering, how long would this hawker centre last, one by one, they have been closed down, turning into air-conditioned food court serving food that is cooked by machine or FTs who does not know the origins or culture of the mixed we have in Singapore, yet they call the black colour noodle "Char Kway Teow" or soft white buns with Roast pork "Char Siew Bao".

It seems to me that that is the model of our society. Whenever you walk into a shopping centre, you will not fail to see the same stores offering the same merchandise everywhere. Going to town can be avoided, but its getting pretty boring here. Except maybe the challange of trying to understand the poor English that the FTs are trying to purge from their mouth.

How long does each model last? The food court are serving countless amount of food thats very expensive and not true to the original taste.

What can I do?
