Momentary madness?

We, humans, are a funny lot. Everytime something comes up, we have this tendency to feed our curiosity, and depending on the idea (creativity..organisation..accessibility...prices..just to name a few), the novelty will disappear and we'll move onto greener pastures, or we'll stick around hoping for better things to come. So it's not surprising that perhaps almost everyone in this country could be found clamouring at the opening of THAT infamous store over at Rimba. After all, it's hard to miss all the signboards on the roads and gigantic catalogues that came along with our newspaper subscriptions.

How long will this madness last? Though I have yet to step foot into the store, let alone venture out to that part of town, judging from the various reports that I've heard and read, it's likely the novelty of this store will stick around...which, depending on how one sees it, will hopefully reduce the traffic in Gadong...wishful thinking, I know!
