Weakspots

Posted in Daily Observations |

Everyone’s got a “weakspot” for certain things.

To some, it’s the latest handphone. Or the latest laptop. Or the latest gaming console.

Some justify their “investment” in modifying their cars with the coolest body kits. Others don’t mind spending a bomb taking up new hobbies like golf, or increasing their collection of shoes that they never seem to wear.

One of my weakspot would be getting new books. And unfortunately for a Malaysian, books are overpriced. I hardly return empty handed from a trip to the bookstore, and it doesn’t help when I have quite a rather broad topic of interest.

Oh yeah…my next obvious weakspot is getting Billy book racks from Ikea. I currently have 4 of them.

Where do you find yourself putting most of your money in?

    Jean, how about collecting cookwares? Our Finance Minister just reduced the import duty for kitchen items :-D

    Really, budget announcements these days seem to be lacking the excitements it used to have.
