My Dream Car…….
Ok forgotten to add something abt yesterday.
It was said that Leos have fine, expensive tastes and are huge spenders. I doubt that cos I prefer eating at foodcourts or hawker centres to fine dining restaurants (so many things to watch out—yr language, actions, table etiquette).
I dun own a diskman, digicam, palm top or any other IT gadgets.
But seems like even though I don’t own expensive stuff, I have expensive tastes unknowingly.
Scene ONE
At Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza, there was this car road shows. So my friends and I just look around for Fun. Mazda, Toyota, Honda, Mercedes, BMW……
From afar, I spot one design which I like, a silver colour car , which looks like a sports car.
When I finally got a chance to have a closer look, I was like “woah!”. Guess what brand the car was?
A Ferrari at an asking price of $588888.!!!!!!!!!
A Mazda cost $70000. See the price difference?
So that was my dream car, could only drive it in my dreams. Cos that price is something I can never afford (unless I strike it rich—in yr dreams gal!), and I don’t even have driving license… Ha Ha Ha!
Scene 2.
Was at this Moshi Moshi shop buying a replacement bracelet. While waiting for the salesgirl to wrap it, I took a look at the bangles in their showcase. Saw that the price ranges from $19 to $29. But I had an eye for one bangle placed in the middle (which the price was not shown). Like that design because of its thickness and the interesting way it twisted at the end.
Enquired its price with the salesgirl. Turn out that while the rest are silver-plated, the one I choose was plated with white gold & cost $79!!!
So it’s me who had expensive taste or just that better design stuff cost more?
Didn’t buy it in the end, though I like it very much & can afford it. It was a matter of practicability.
I don’t wear accessories often, and if I buy it, I had to eat grass for the rest of the month (exaggerating lah!).
