An insight (?) while shopping with marianne
Today I went out with Marianne, and along the way we passed by long john silver, I was really hungry then and were contemplating if I should buy the fries to fill my stomach. Eventually I didn’t, bearing in mind that I should save money because I would be having my dinner in about 1 hour time. I was quite hungry, so I filled my stomach with the $1.20 drink I bought. Haha.
After walking away from the fries temptation, a group of students approached us. They were promoting a marker to us. I did not know what they were saying at first, but eventually yea.. they were promoting a marker.
At first thought, I was going to buy the marker, because they said it was for a school project and I remembered that my father want to buy a marker to label the cds. But as I stared longer at the marker, more thoughts ran through my mind.
This situation looked familiar and it was after that I realized (Actually it was the look on Marianne face at the point of time that made me think that this situation was familiar) that it reminded me of the time when Marianne, tony and I were out with Desmond and he bought an overpriced bookmark (?) from a lady.
Next I thought of my FRIES! I did not buy my fries, because I wanted to save money and it will be absurd it I spend the money I save on fries to buy a marker? I am very sorry for that thought, but at that point of time, fries were my priority.
Thus eventually I did not buy the marker. Luckily I did not buy!
Anyway this made me realized that…..
My newest obsession… MONEY!
Although this is not really something new, but I think it is growing on me. I am so conscious of how I spend my money now. Partly because I do not have additional income other than my monthly pocket money, and Christmas is round the corner….this is probably the first time for a long while that I do not look forward to Christmas that much.
Buying presents…
