Principle, principle

Nivlac is a weird creature, I swear.

You see, our normal gym schedule was planned by him where he indicated that we will go to gym on "even number" dates (after numerous ranting from me as we always tend to go to the same branch). Which means, 2th, 4th, 6th and so on...

By doing this, we get to go to all four branches in PJ and different instructors' classes.

This morning, he said:

Nivlac: Tomorrow gym (30th), then have to stop 2 days and go again on Friday.
Me: Huh?? Why?
Nivlac: Cos Wednesday is 31st and Thursday is 1st.
Me: WTFFFF????

As some people say, "diikat prinsip sendiri" (tied by his own priciple).

Contented?

The recent trip to HK really opened my eyes on the cultures of Hongkies. While service at the local char chan teng (coffee shops) are bad, it's an entirely different thing when you stepped into international chain stores like 7-Eleven, Giordano, Levi's etc. So yes, HK is a place to shop but not exactly a good place for food.

Speaking of shopping, I accidentally peeked into my friend's wallet few weeks back and I commented, "Yo, nice wallet." He replied, "LV. 800 bucks".

First, the wallet doesn't have the typical (or should I say, famous?) LV monograph, so I couldn't recognise it at first. But spending a whopping 800 for a wallet???

He: I bought it in Europe few years back. It costs a few hundred cheaper there than here.
Me: Yeah, but still, 800?
He: Sometimes we need to pamper ourselves a bit mah. After you spent it, you'll work harder to earn the money back. That's how you progress further in your career and income, rather than staying stagnant.

Although I'm sorta agree to what he said, I think I need plenty of motivation to push myself to "progress further in my career". Contented with my current state? I think so.

Oh, by the way, I saw a very nice wallet in HK.
