Queuing is a hobby of a typical Singaporean

Since it's a public holiday tomorrow, I decided to eat out and maybe check out Tampines One, the new mall in Tampines.

I thought we were supposed to be in recession, but it certainly did not look or feel like we are in recession at the mall. It was overflowing with people.. There were queues forming outside the restaurants.

When I passed by Uniqlo, all the shutters were down, except for one, and people were queuing outside. Certainly an eye-rolling moment for me. It's like, come on, it's just Uniqlo! It's all over the place in Hong Kong and Tokyo. Not only that, it's actually more expensive over here. A UT tee cost S$24.90, when the same thing cost HK$100, or 1500 yen. Certainly not all that worth to get it here, when air tickets are so cheap now. You could fly to Tokyo for S$623 on SQ now.

I really cannot understand why people here just enjoy queuing for the sake of queuing. My first thought when I saw the queue was 'This feels like another Donut Factory'. Can't imagine the mad craze when H&M comes here..
