THE SMART LADY

THE SMART LADY


On Wednesday, because I have no wish to take a bus to the nearest MRT station (adult fares! AH!!!), I hitched a ride from Dad on his way out. It was still early, and I was way ahead of schedule. The Master would not have been back from work at this time, and I have no wish to arrive too early and impose myself. Hence, I got off the train halfway down the journey, and alighted at Kovan. I love Kovan! It's the only place I know like the back of my hand! Until the age of 17, it was my home, and it holds loads of school-days memories!

It was only 5.30pm. Lesson will only start at 7pm. Walking into Heartland Mall, I decided to pop by Old Chang Kee. Man, I've always loved their Sotong Sticks! Arriving at the shop, the price made me gasp. Glup. Eh... Since when has the price increased? And by this much? It was only $1.10 as I remember it!

I decided not to purchase any. Went into Cold Storage instead, and purchased a pack of Nutrisoy Low-Sugar High-Calcium Soya Bean. Paid for it, went back to the train station, and headed down for lesson.





All that I had intended to do: save $0.71 on the bus fare. But I ended up paying $1.05 for the Soya Bean drink. Technically made a loss of $0.34 in the end. Smart.

That was Wednesday.

Yesterday, on Friday, while I was packing my bag before heading out to meet Dao and Mad for a meal in school, then to Bugis, and finally to Riverwalk; I chanced upon the pack of half-finished Soya Bean. Oh, crap! I've TOTALLY forgotten about it! Since there was only a couple of mouthfuls left, without thinking, I opened the cap and gulp down a mouthful.





Only to puke it out immediately.






The tummy hurts now.


$0.34 + tummyache. All because of a meagre 71cents.

I'm too smart beyond words. Please love me. =)





Seems like I'm always in danger of putting the wrong things into the mouth. At this rate... ... ... Sigh!
