Caller:
"Sir, I would like to introduce a money saving card to you."
AK:
"Save money? I like. Tell me more."
Caller:
"You will get 50% discount when you dine at XXX, YYY and ZZZ!"
AK:
"Er...."
Caller:
"And the membership costs only $300 a year!"
AK:
"Thank you for calling but I am not interested."
Caller:
"Why? This card helps you save money. If your dining bills amount to $2,000 a year, you would save $1,000!"
Wow! This guy's math is up to scratch but AK is also not stupid. Since AK is not stupid, why AK never buy the money saving card?
AK must be stupid!
"I going to Europe for vacation next week."
AK:
"For how long?"
Friend:
"Two weeks lor. Go to Europe must be at least two weeks or else not worth."
AK:
"Wah! Will spend a lot of money lor."
Friend:
"No lah, will save a lot of money."
AK:
"Really?"
Friend:
"Ya. I calculated already. I will save several thousand dollars buying my Prada, LV, Gucci and Tag over there!"
AK:
"......................................"
My friend's maths is better than mine. A1 for A Maths. I got only C5 for A Maths.
AK is definitely stupid!
Bro:
"I going to Japan for holiday again next month. You want to go with me?"
AK:
"I love Japan. Maybe next year. Save money first."
Bro:
"You need to save money one meh? You so much money liao."
AK:
"Aiyah. Cannot anyhow spend mah. Must budget for it. A trip to Japan would still cost quite a bit of money."
Bro:
"Don't think like that lah. The savings would more than make up for what the trip would cost."
AK:
"Er... How so?"
Bro:
"The cameras there are cheaper. Buy one Nikon already save a lot of money liao. Buy more stuff that are cheaper than in Singapore lor."
AK:
"Wah! Like that also can. You win already lor!"
Bro:
"Ah bar den..."
Why AK didn't think like that?
Stupid AK, stupid AK!
Y.O.L.O. can be a good thing. It could help us to save money. So, we should embrace Y.O.L.O.
Don't be like stupid AK who doesn't know how to save money.
(For those who are even more dinosaur than AK, Y.O.L.O. stands for "You Only Live Once". It has a nice ring to it too. Er... Or is it "You Only Lived Once"? I blur.)
