I've got a new hsemate staying beside me. He's from HK and he is... Mr. Scrimp n Save. When we were out (yes, i'm a one-man welcome wagon) in the city, he was like 'everything is so expensive!' and kept converting it back to HKD. It reminded me of me when i just came.. but it was easier cos Singapore is not much cheaper than here. Then, i don't know how it became 'you can't get it in sg so buy here!'.. then it became 'aiya, just buy here'... then it became 'buy whatever i like'...the evidence is in black and white on my bank statement. Now, i have start converting everything to SGD.. because there'll be a lot of explaining to do to my parents when i get back.
I know this part of the entry sounds weird when the top part is about getting a Chanel bag... but I had a rough year... i deserve it!
