my ambivalent attitude

Monday, February 13, 2006

I finally appreciated what Zhengjun said couple of days ago. The more I tried to scrimp and save, the more I seemed to end up spending more. Today being a monday, I decided to take advantage of the $7.50 cheaper movie ticket price to catch My Kungfu Sweetheart at Westmall. I don't know what came over me to cause me to hail a taxi to Westmall in the end.

After the movie, I went into a gift shop and chose a Valentine's Day card, which was personalised for Mom. There was no price tag and thinking that it wouldn't cost more than 10 bucks, I went ahead to the cashier. Just when I was about to flash out a $10 note, I noticed the numbers on the cash box showed $13!!!

I passed by a bakery that was located in a neighbourhood and bought 3 waffles, since the prices were cheaper than that of Prima Deli's. Little did I know that the shopowners could be so dishonest as to sell me waffles that were charred in the interior! 2 of the waffles were thus discarded by my mother for health reasons.

The only comforting event this afternoon was that the optical shop I patronised since I started wearing spectacles charged me nothing for a change of frame of my army black specs! Anyway, the reinstatement of my army specs after it was damaged for numerous months was due to the combat shoot that will be conducted next week. It will be a bonus if my specs can assist me in attaining marksmanship and that attractive $200! Haha. I was a best shot after all.
