  actually, other than makan and books, I don't really have any major expenses. however, I'm now worrying the recession will make it hard for me to find a new tenant if the current one does not renew next year.

  I cant usually find stuffs I want at thrift shops, just more extras for the home.  But since I am going to be without a home soon.  No point shopping at Thrift shops.  I donate more to them then buy from them.

  BTW, I bought 2 really pretty kebaya top yesterday for $19.90.  But the sizes like really wrong.

  The size 40 fits me but wont close on my breasts.  The size 42 is about 10 cm longer on the hems and the sleeve.

  thats the case, you can only hope to keep the tenants with you for the same rent prices for another year.

  have to go to Malacca to do that.  Singapore shops are murder on the wallets.

  a shop was trying to make me buy off the shelf instead of tailor making it.  the off the shelf item is $125 per piece and the tailor made ones starting price is $300.  And thats not including the sarong.

  I rather buy real sarong and fold it and wear instead of buying those ready made ones that cannot allow me to walk wider steps.

  MPB was grumbling about the cost of our hobby

  He was like I think the entire cost of this new tank is around 2k liao

  It's quite true

  The 2 filters already around 1k, His UV light is 150 bucks, tank 200 bucks, plus the new fishes and what not = 2k

   

  I told him to give birth to a cub it's 2k x5.  Muahahhaa

  Gaahhhh.... the only lab that has the simulation software that I need to use is off-limits for the whole day! Got lessons in there for the whole day.... all non-students are barred.

  Oh well.... guess I'll just spend the day doing some revision. Got a test on Thursday.
