A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen.

And if she hasn’t been rewritten, then they are still using her. Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.
A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul
On her way she met a copy. The copy warned the Little Blind Text, that where it came from it would have been rewritten a thousand times and everything that was left from its origin would be the word “and” and the Little Blind Text should turn around and return to its own, safe country.A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.
But nothing the copy said could convince her and so it didn’t take long until a few insidious Copy Writers ambushed her, made her drunk with Longe and Parole and dragged her into their agency, where they abused her for their projects again and again.

What to do in Uluwatu Bali
A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table – Samsa was a travelling salesman – and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.
Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. “How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense”, he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn’t get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was.
One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. “What’s happened to me? ” he thought. It wasn’t a dream.
His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table – Samsa was a travelling salesman – and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame.

SFA recalled popular durian mooncakes over excessive bacteria levels
As part of its regulatory sampling, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) detected Bacillus cereus in Four Seasons Durian’s Mini D24 Durian Mooncake, exceeding permitted levels. The product has been recalled. B. cereus, commonly found in the environment, can cause food poisoning, with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea.
SINGAPORE: A popular brand of durian mooncakes is being recalled after exceeding Singapore’s food safety standards for bacteria levels.
The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) announced on Thursday (12 September) that all batches of Four Seasons Durian’s mini D24 durian mooncakes have been affected.
The SFA detected the presence of Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) bacteria in the mooncakes as part of its regular sampling of mooncakes for food safety checks.
B. cereus is commonly found in the environment as well as in the intestinal tracts of insects and mammals.
It is a known cause of food poisoning, typically leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhoea.
The agency has advised customers not to consume the affected mooncakes.
Those who have already consumed the product and are concerned about their health should seek medical advice immediately.
Customers can also contact the place where they purchased the mooncakes for further inquiries.
The SFA continues to monitor the situation to ensure food safety standards are upheld.

NTU stall food prices questioned after parent pays S$6.30 for meal
A parent has raised concerns about high food prices at NTU after paying S$6.30 for a meal at a campus food court, questioning the financial burden on students. The stall owner clarified that her stall offers Chinese-style stir-fry dishes, not typical economy rice, resulting in higher costs. Netizens noted both concerns about meal affordability and the pressures faced by hawkers, including rising costs and rental expenses.
SINGAPORE: A parent has raised concerns about the high food prices at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), particularly after paying S$6.30 for a meal at the NTU Hall 2 food court.
She expressed worries about the financial burden on students and their access to affordable meals.
However, the stall owner clarified in an interview with local media that her stall is not a typical economy rice (‘cai fan’) stall but rather offers Chinese-style stir-fry dishes. As a result, the cost of her ingredients is higher.
Fen, a concerned parent, earlier complained to online media outlet Stomp about being charged S$6.30 for a cai fan at a stall in the campus on 21 August.
The meal, consisting of economy rice with pork, egg, and brinjal, cost S$1.50 each for vegetables, S$2.50 for pork, and S$0.80 for rice.
She highlighted that NTU students might face higher daily lunch costs compared to outside options, citing that a similar meal with one meat and two vegetables costs S$2.90 at a coffee shop in Bedok.
Fen also expressed dissatisfaction with the S$4.75 sausage baked rice from another stall, describing it as unappetising.
“Generally, food at NTU is not as good as the old days when workers from nearby factories and offices would drive in to have their lunches there, ” Fen remarked.
She expressed concern that students might struggle to access decent and affordable food on campus, especially if they lack the time to travel elsewhere and must rely on the limited food options available.
Stall owner’s explanation
In response to these concerns, stall owner Ms. Li, who has been operating since 8 August, provided an explanation.
In an interview with Chinese media Shin Min Daily News, Ms Li clarified that her stall specializes in Chinese stir-fry dishes rather than traditional economy rice (‘cai fan’), which results in higher ingredient costs.
She also mentioned that, in addition to pork, her stall offers mutton at S$2.50 per portion, as well as beef and seafood at S$3 per portion.
Ms Li emphasised that the prices are not considered excessive and are clearly indicated.
Her stall also provides free soup and extra rice at no additional charge.
She added that the mala hotpot does not incur a base charge and that she uses a more expensive variety of rice imported from China.
Comments reveal concerns about student meal affordability and acknowledge hawkers’ pressures amid rising costs
Despite Ms Li’s defence, some students and netizens remain skeptical about the pricing.
Comments on Stomp and Zaobao’s Facebook posts reveal that while there is concern about the affordability of meals for students, some also recognize the pressures faced by hawkers, including rental costs and the rising cost of food materials.
There is a sentiment that NTU’s administration is out of touch with students’ needs and should better monitor welfare and food pricing.
A netizen suggested that if rental costs are a factor, it might be time for universities to investigate these issues.
There are comments suggesting that NTU’s food prices are indeed high.
While some netizens believe the pricing is still reasonable, others acknowledge the financial pressures faced by businesses due to high rents in Singapore.
A comment on Zaobao’s Facebook post noted: “Currently, rents in Singapore are high for everything. Is anyone providing services for free? It’s hard to understand how vendors can sell cai fan without making a profit. “
“Sometimes, consumers need to appreciate the difficulties faced by business owners. It often feels like people are accusing them of making too much money. Everyone needs to make a living. I think S$6.30 is quite normal.”
Another comment echoed similar sentiments: “The cai fan vendors are really pitiful; they’re criticized all day long. Do they not have to pay rent, utilities, or wages for their workers?”
Some disagreed with the stall owner’s explanation, noting that the issue lies in how the product is positioned.
A comment pointed out that stir-fry is typically cooked dish by dish to maintain freshness and optimal temperature, which justifies higher prices.
In contrast, cai fan is prepared in bulk and kept on display, compromising freshness and temperature, thus leading to lower prices.
