Cargo Lift
Posted in
Singapore
When I'm in Singapore, I have always wondered if there is anything stark difference between the Passenger Lift and the Cargo Lift. Other than the cargo lift being bigger, and always hidden in some secluded corner (especially in the shopping centres), I thought not much.
Until I had to take the cargo lift for a couple of months to a certain office.... and I was staring at the lift buttons...
And I noticed a queer button because it is located at the bottom where I usually find the "Door Open" or "Door Close" buttons...
Hmm... "Open Hold"??
So what is the difference from the "Door Open" button?
Apparently when you activated the "Open Hold" button, the lift will remain open for as long as the button is activated without making any noise that the door has been opened for too long (you will usually get that when you are in the Passenger Lift). And obviously cargoes handling do take some time and thus it isn't nice to have someone to keep pressing the "Door Open" button when he/she is busy carrying the cargoes into the lift.
I have to admit this is one very useful button.. and I learn something new =D

Shopping in Melbourne
Mango constantly has sales whether it is sale on dress or sale storewide so keep a lookout. And probably don't buy if there wasn't a sales signage. Oh and I found out that Oz Mango fashion trend seems earlier than SG and HK. When I was in HK and SG in Dec, I saw the same piece of top I had fancied back in Sep/Oct which was already cleared out by Nov.
I guess buying boots in cold countries is usually a wiser choice than getting a pair in SG which probably cost more and does not have much variety.
Souvenir shops in Melbourne are one of those that will not close by 6pm weekdays.
But the best place to get the Lanolin is actually at Big W. I think I paid less than 3 AUD as compared to the one I bought in Chinatown that cost me 7-8 AUD.
Eat Spanish Donut
I think I prefer this to American donuts. You can get them at South Melbourne Market or Queen Victoria Market.
