All our weather articles this year look the same. Theyโre either about how crazy hot it is or how rainy itโs going to be while still being crazy hot.
I mean, itโs not like there are many variations to the weather in the first place, especially in the tropics, so that shouldnโt be surprising.
Anyway, last time I checked, nothing has changed for this month. And by the way, weโre currently heading (while sweating and panting) towards the hottest period of the year, so donโt expect any good news.

Unless you live near Yishun, that is.
Cheap Drinks at Yishun
Because itโs good to hydrate yourself on a normal day, and itโs very good to hydrate yourself when itโs 35 degrees out. Itโs also not very good to hydrate yourself with sweet drinks, but youโre so thirsty you donโt care. Neither do we.
Introducing Guan Huat provision shop.
This provision shop provides a wide variety of necessities for residents living nearby.
But more than that, this place also sells one of the cheapest drinks you can find in Singapore.
Yeoโs packet drinks, bottled beverages, whatever goes.
Hereโs a peek at some of the crazy offerings you can find there, and of course weโve got Facebook Page Singapore Atrium Sale to thank for again.
Yeoโs Chrysanthemum Tea: $5.80 per carton of 24
Thatโs $0.24 per packet as the picture helpfully provides.

According to the online shop, NTUC Fairprice sells the same thing at $10.30 ($0.43 per packet) usually, but from now till 31 May, itโs going for $7.85 ($0.32 per packet).
Thatโs a whole 8 cents (per packet) more!
Or, if youโre feeling wealthy, you can getโฆ
Pokka Green Tea: $7.50 per carton of 24
$0.31 per packet, as seen in the picture.
On the online shop, NTUC Fairprice sells it cheaper than the chrysanthemum tea at $10.20, but itโs not on sale. So the price per packet is $0.43, 12 cents more!

Can people, thereโs no discrimination in the different brands or flavours.
Random Canned Drinks: $1 per 3 cans
Which is $0.33 (333333โฆ) per can if you must know.
From the picture, it seems like H-Two-O, Yeoโs Jasmine Green Tea and Yeoโs Iced Lemon Tea are some of your options.
For comparison, NTUC Fairprice online sells it for $13.90 per 24 cans, $0.58 per can, which saves you 25 cents.
The fact that you can just buy 3 cans and still get such a deal is also a huge advantage if youโre not the kind who enjoys swimming in the stuff.

To my knowledge, the typical price of one can is $0.80, which is almost an entire 50 cents more.
And if you go to the coffeeshops near our office, one can be up to $1.50 (but of course itโs chilled with ice lah).
Lastly, for the bottle lovers.
$0.80 per bottle
Now, the picture isnโt very clear on which product the price applies to (or maybe it applies to both).
But given the prices that youโve seen so far, it wouldnโt be a stretch to say that a 1.5-litre bottle can go for 80 cents.
Thatโs crazy.

The Address
No more banter, just:
Guan Huat Provision Shop, Chong Pang (Yishun), Blk 103 Yishun Ring Rd #01-103, Singapore 760103
For those who are near, patronising the store is a no brainer. But how far would the non-Yishun-ers go for a deal?
After all, rumour has it that the wall didnโt get any funding, but people in Sembawang are using their own money to build the wall with toilet paper. If so, better grab these drinks before the wall is up.
(BTW, that last paragraph is #fakenews #wenowscaredoffakenewsleh)
