Sab kuch provided for

... is a phrase we use in the house to describe infrastructure on the Little Red Dot. Like in Sim City. Schools, stadia, police stations, fire stations, bus terminals, train stations, banks, libraries - all in that careful layout, such that the circles of influence overlap nicely. As I said, like in Sim City. And, welfare. Websites that tell you which vaccinations to take, and that track the vaccinations as you go about taking them. Even the germs in your life have to queue up.

Sab kuch provided for. Except those things that we all know about.

Even West Mall Bukit Batok. Giordano for the $2 to $12 man. Dano for the $2 man. Crocodile for the $120 man. Food court. Post office. Library. Salon. Starhub. Singtel. Subway. Pastamania. Bengawan Solo. New books store. Used books store. New CD store. Used CD store. You have a need. We meet the need. Five full storeys of need-meeting. It's five minutes away. It's taken me two years to find out.

The latest - Makan Mumbai Indian Food. Masala Dosai $2.50. Mango Lassi $2.00.

People. Take the train. Go and explore the heartlands. Vada Pav $3.00.
