the amount of happiness money can buy
today's issue of the sunday times life section is really really interesting in my opinion. theres this big whole article about money and the luxury goods found in singapore. seriously i would LOVE to write about such stuff for my gp essay. thats so ME :)
theres this article tt ppl are willing to spend mroe on bags n luxury goods, which means tt singaporeans are becoming richer. this is one thing i cant deny, cos on my part i also hope to earn enuff bucks to indulge in such pamperings. like nice manicures n pedicures n facials n spas. but considering what a rough n clumsy person i am, i think these will be kinda wasted somehow. haha.
and,
theres this ranking of exp foods, n one of the featured one was pen cai. this $5k pot of super good food to serve 10 ppl. which means each persons share is a whooping 500 bucks! like omg. maybe eat tt with plain rice la, so tt makes it $500.30. heh. i wonder how much these ppl earn a month, to afford to eat such expensive meals. think about it, 500 bucks, can be spend on adopt 2 children from 3rd world countries. which means tt the amt of money is enuff for their food n shelter. how unfair can the world get? and theres this champagne mooncakes. like 888 for 8 pcs, which is 111 for one piece. but at least it looks REALLY good. n theres only 20 boxes made. but 10 boxes are alr sold. WAHHH! theres also this CACAO fair at vivo this weekend. featuring chocolates. what a heaven vivo must be this weekend. seriously. n theres this shop tt sells chocolate greeting cards. but one card is like 50 freaking bucks. give me a card like tt, i will kill u cos i will be torn between eating it & destroying the nice card while i eat it OR not bearing to eat it until someday when moulds grow on it.
but im glad for one thing, further down the paper nearing the end of it, theres this article about cheap sweets. like the white rabbit milk candy and HALLS sweets [30 for 1 buck?] and alot of those cheap n good stuff, which kinda contrasts the articles in front - that no matter what money can buy, sometimes the stuff tt are cheap can be really good too!
which reminds me, there are LOADS OF STICKERS [the baby pooh ones especially :)] which are CHEAP[like 4 pcs for a buck!] n SUPER NICE [ like the one i pasted on hongs maths tys] at the bedok pasar malam!!! i love shopping at the pasar malam, where u just walk n eat n see many many jia-pa-lang stuff which u dun really use but u will be super tempted to buy cos they are so cheap n inviting. hehe. i feel like a kid all over again, the stickers give me so much joy.
and so today, out of curiosity i asked one of the vendors - how long will this pasar malam last this time. she said, ONE MONTH!
like OH MY GOD - that means 2 weeks and 4 more days for more chickenwings n chickenchop n friedicecream n 5for$2tutukuehs n otahs n stickers n peanuts n pao n kebabs n takoyaki n friedbanans n friedjackfruits n ramlyburgers n rotijohn n mangos n rambutans n toys n fishballs n icecream n fishfillet n cheesetofu n i think u get my point. =D
but i need to watch my spending too. i spent like close to 120 bucks this week. =/
and the mugging needs to start. look at the things i need to do at hand......
