Stretching The Comfort Zone

Spending Frenzy

I wanted to fix the scooter badly. My pants are damp as usual after sitting on the soaked up seat. Then, my first instinct was to get a new cover for it. So heading to Sungei Road, the shop next to Ah Boy's. Turned out that my seat was too badly damaged. Then referred to the shop next door. The price quoted was $70. Hesitated.. money only $360 to last for unknown period... at least till I get a job and get paid. Then again there is Hari Raya(shameless) and the ERS the month after. So I haggled the price. Unsuccessful, I left.

So not even $5 cheaper.

Then I headed to Sim Lim. I bought 128MB ram, a mouse and a new video card and CD-Rs amounting to $150. Oops.. I thought to myself. Then headed to fix my sooter in Alexander Village. I belief, for a local shop, it has a good price. So I got new tyres for $28 each. Second hand seat for $20. Pretty good bargain..considering. New brake drums and such. The bike is still there. Already paid $137.

And so the story goes $287 gone just like that. The computer feels the same. The bike is not in sight. The story is such.
