Going Digital


Read in the papers yesterday about this newly opened Market Place (by Cold Storage) @ Fusionpolis.  Their trolleys are equipped with a monitor that will show info relevant to the merchandise that u r near ... 

Obviously this is nothing exciting to some other countries who already have such technologies for a while (according to the papers).   Not only could the monitor show such info (such as recipes of the ingredients u r near), it could also tally the total amount of the stuff in your trolley.

Anyway, I headed to the gym for a swim despite my dad's condition.  Yah, the unfilial daughter ha! So had my usual swim and headed to the Market Place for a look see.

Though I had nothing to buy, I wanted to try out this trolley.









This is a snapshot of the monitor on the trolley.  As I passed the aisle of mushrooms and stuff, it showed up a recipe for some salad. 
Anyway, not much useful info for me since I don't cook.  But well, a nice experience.

The place was rather empty saved for a few other shoppers like myself and I had a relaxing time just walking up and down the aisles and immersing myself in the xmassy mood.  Nice.
