The Value of MYR50

Taking a break from my "week's journey".

Since early Dec, I've had a need for a new black wedges. Something that's comfy, a tad raised up and that's not too casual for the office. Mid Dec, I finally found the exact one that I have been looking for in Hopoh. Then came the hardest part - how much? It was RM49.90.

At this point of time, I was (and am still) in grave state of broke-ness... So, naturally, I prayed. I prayed and I prayed and I prayed some more. Asking God, for an extra RM50, so I can go ahead to buy, without having to pinch on what I really needed to spend on.

Yesterday, I was rumaging my purse for a name card. Lo and behold, there is was!! MYR50!!! neatly folded, safely tucked away, a piece of "paper" that I had kept for those rainy days,and had forgotten about.

Now that I have the 50... I am having doubts... I don't think I'll get that pair I dream of every night though... coz I'm seriously 150% broke. I think it will go into better use.

What's the value of MYR50 to you? :)

    such heart wrenching post! perfect timing! (end of the month, when we certainly hope we have that extra 50 bucks more to spend!)

    i'd love to come this weekend. but, (BUT sajalah kan?) but, really.. i have to escort my kids for an event di kolej lain saturday nite. the whole of saturday, we have blood donation, and band audition + we have to go see that streetdance competition dekat waterfront!

    i attend Olive Garden SIB church now. nearer and boleh monitor my kids jua.

  2. sniff sniff.. thanks for the offer Gous... but it's ok... we need to put the RM50 to better use... kan kan??? ada bah tu kasut lain mau pakai... perhaps it's just a "want" instead of a "need" :)(convincing myself that i dont need it.. besides, as if lah i bothered to get u anything for your birthday. Bikin malu jak ko ni :)

    how was that streetdance competition?

    nanti one day i mau take a break and follow u go Olive. Sik juak I managed to go to the "litte church" dulu kan? So teruks me.

  4. SIB the city mcm packed with muda mudi, so the vibe is there... i mean, if i got the right one lar... heheheh... the music gilers i heard. yeah, can try oso that... one day.

    Gou, i have a new obsession... tenom's coffee!!! ada my colleague went to sabah and kasi beli... 1st sip, i thought, hmmm... mild betul..., then tia cukup gula rasanya... then i tambah lah... then after it cooled off a bit, gosh, it was so... smooth! amazing...:) So my kesimpulan sebenarnya, tolonglah, time ko balik sabah, kasi beli me kopi tenom :)

  5. oh ya, tetiba teringat that also proves my friend's comment that coffee should be enjoyed at about 80 deg C and not boiling hot :)
