last weekend i sooooo wanted to stay home and not do anything and indirectly save me some money. but it was not to be.
friday it was. my dear colleague S loses her ciplak Samsung phone. she asks me whether i’ll sell mine. after some haggling, she accepted it for rm400. but i’d need a new phone to replace mine. so what else can be just as functional but affordable as a nokia 6230i?
so that was the plan. i’d have enlisted Merv’s help to pick one up for me when he goes to town like he usually does.
but no. lil bro breaks his rimless glasses for a second time this month. the first time it was a shuttle cock smash, and this time it was a soccer ball.
saturday comes. i’m supposed to take him to the optician to get another pair of glasses. thought i’d just go there, get him hooked up with the cheapest frames and lenses available (which i did). instead, we were there for about two hours, trying to cater to his ‘fashion sense’. and while that happened, i picked up a pair for myself as well.
dark bronze thread 2.0 oakley frames with RX lenses. rm980. 😛
then damdam calls, says he lost his phone in a ‘post-drinking accident’. so we both went out to town to scout for phones. to summarise things, i think decisions are harder to make as you grow older. 😛 not referring to myself of course.
new nokia 6230i. yay. and some coolermaster chipset coolers.
and that was saturday, marking the end of the splurge-fest brunt. on sunday, went out with my mom for lunch and grocery shopping, and then a wedding in the evening. it was Bedah’s wedding, a friend from SKBD and SMBB. it was my mom who was invited, and i just tagged along, so needless to say a lot of people were surprised to see me there. 😀 well, she asked the bunch of us to stay for pictures, but it was late and we couldn’t stay. there were a lot of people i haven’t met for a while too: Geok Lii, Izad, Norida, Maya, Sue, Leslie, Fairuz, Gerald. and some seniors whom i recognised but didn’t bother talking to. very nostalgic. 🙂
so the wedding card cost me a bit. and that marks the end of the weekend.
today, i’m in town for more SAP training. hopefully i won’t be bothered by the office much.
