chip off the ol block
22 years telling myself that I'll never turn out anything like my dad and somehow I still inherit some of his frikkin characteristics. Luckily its only SOME. Not all. Bad news is I think I inherited his blardy kiam siap mindset. Everything also must cheap cheap discount. Free even better.
There was a time when I wouldn't flinch throwing 20 bucks on a meal. Now after experiencing the NUS canteen $1.80 ba chor mee I think I'll never be able to appreciate good cuisine. Not unless it costs $1.80 la. Or less. Stupid ba chor mee auntie.
Even when I went down to the Bike Boutique today to get Patience tuned up, dear ol Scrooge came a-knocking. Bought a pair of Uvex shades and a water bottle but I somehow got it into my head that if I bought a 100 buck pair of sunglasses, I ought to get a 10 dollar water bottle free.
'Eh so by the way ah...besides these sunglasses ah... give me one of those water bottles also can? The other one I lost it already la. Bring to school never bring back.'
'Wah, haven't one week you lost it already? Ok can, so you transfer 110 dollars to me k.'
'Err..oh 110 bucks...yah ok ok.'
*wah lau 10 dollar also want to gei gao. how to do business?*
Well I guess it could be worse. If I'd inherited my dad's chao-ji-power-elephant-rhinoceros-combine-hide-skin, that last bit would've been said out loud instead of being confined to the recesses of my head.
