Another day closer to 31 December 2008

I guess this will be another boring blog.

I had a bad dream last night. I dreamt that I had accidentally killed 2 people and had actually thrown their corpses into the giant fridge to hid them... And, I had pretended that I did not see them when others asked where they were... :(

Oh dear, why this silly dream??? Sob sob.... I don't want to be a murderer :_(

Anyway, Bao Bei was so kind on Saturday and actually went shopping with me without nagging, haha. We had dinner at BigO cafe at Wheelock Place. Conclusion: BigO and NYDC probably share the same dining chairs, including baby-chairs; BigO has better variety and quality of food; when it comes to mudpies, nothing beats NYDC!!! And now, we have 2 free dessert vouchers from paying with UOB credit card :p

Did anyone say it is Great Singapore Sale now? How come I don't feel it at all!!!???!?!! I used to study Economics briefly in JC and also in NUS as cross faculty module, it always talk about inflation and it always quote USA. I was like, why am I studying inflation, inflation doesn't happen in Singapore.... NOW, when the money comes out from my own pocket, I realise what is inflation. Simi a simple dress costs more than S$100!!!! #^*%^@P% I used to be able to get a decent dress at less than S$70 lor. Where is the sale?! I want to spend money but the items are so unreasonably priced that I felt the pinch when I touched the price tag. Bao bei says the stock market will plunge on Monday because the oil price per barrel has leaped a huge USD10 on Friday. We even went hunting for COACH at Isetan Shaw and Takashimaya. My most expensive item from Las Vegas is a USD160+ COACH handbag, even if the exchange rate is 2:1, I had easily saved S$500 on that bag (a similar size at COACH Isetan is selling at S$899 before discount!!!) Yohoo! No wonder COACH is a must-go stop over in USA...

Mummy tells me to stop buying unnecessary things for the time being because we are moving to Jurong West soon... Gotta save money to renovate the house.... Bao Bei says if his paper gets approved, the conference will be at New Orleans, USA, in December... hehe.... but I told him that Katrina swept across New Orleans... Eh, come to think about it, the setting of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicle is in New Orleans too, mmm.... I remember it right, right??

My godson ever asked me this question: Why Man invent money?

I thought that is quite a challenging question. If you look at it superficially, it is pretty easy to tell a kid the importance of matching the value of an item with a monetary amount. However, to completely convince the kid that money is not the root of all evil is on the other hand, quite philosophical.

As always, money can't buy everything but without money, life is really hard.

So before you head down to GSS, think thrice.
