Mr Carrot has been fancying queueing recently. He queues overnight for new condo sales launches knowing that the stamp duty is going to increase; he queues for COE when the price keeps dropping. When it comes to catching up with his old friend, Mr Durian, he suddenly feels strange to have to queue again!

After all, the result of queueing not only means forking out money, but it is also time consuming. So why not take a step back and ponder what is more important? The impetus for queuing or the effort incurred?
