Wisdom, wit, some vegetables and a fish.

Wednesday, December 3, 2014

I was chatting with my mom and she talked about looking at the skies and laughing at the follies of man. I told her she is so poetic and reminded me of 文章. Younger readers might not get the joke.

Have a listen:





I think this was more than 20 years ago. I am feeling my age. Thanks, mom.

I also decided to give myself a lunch treat today and I think it is a lunch that most people would approve of:




Price: $3.50.

Who says AK's lunch is always under $3.00? Who? Who?

Sometime we have to pamper ourselves a bit la. Thrifty is good, but too over become stingy then not good liao.

Well ak. Today meal looks healthy. There are fish and vegetables, healthy choice.

Hi yeh,

I am actually a lot less tight fisted with money these days. :)

I realise that I am growing older and that my remaining time in this world is only getting lesser with each passing year.

Hi Derek,

Aiyoh, I rather she keeps more cash and not keep buying stocks. She is not getting any younger, if you know what I mean. Shouldn't be taking too many risks. -.-"

AK,

What a coincidence!

We both used a song to express our feelings just hours apart ;)

LOL!

AK71 said...

Hi SMOL,

Our common star must have spoken to the both of us. The universe works in mysterious ways. ;p

Given that things, including food, are getting more and more expensive nowadays, a $3.50 meal is relatively cheap in my opinion.

Hi AK:)

You are no longer a tight wad! Good for you……….laughing.

Hi AK,

Maybe you should blog more about cheap food rather than cheap stocks, I think people will appreciate more and no bad feelings even the food is sold out for the day..

For example, $2 Hong Kong soy sauce chicken rice at chinatown hawker centre or $2 laksa at Jalan Besar coffee shop...still need to queue but better than queuing for stocks...:P

Hi dorshii,

Hahaha... I am usually cheap towards myself. I am more willing to spend money on family although I would still insist on having value for money.

For example, my sister wanted to order French fries in Pizza Hut during one of our family outings. It was $4.95 or something! OMG!

I protested, of course. My sister was so upset with me that she refused to eat dinner that night. Aiyoh... -.-"

AK71 said...

Hi ozxinvest,

How do you know that this is one option I am actually toying with? LOL. ;p

AK the (cheap) food blogger! :D

I don't think it will fly because I am really not a foodie at heart. I eat to live and not live to eat. ;)

I enjoy blogging and, up till now, I simply blogged about whatever I feel like blogging about. It is so hard to do self censorship. -.-"
