Pokai

The time now is 4.41pm. From the moment I opened my eyes this morning at 8.20am this morning until now, the total money inside my wallet had increased from x to x+12.

Now why most of you will ask. Should it be less since it's weekend and weekends are usually spending time. Ok, let me elaborate more.

1st, I took my car for service this morning but the place was pack. Thus, I changed my service to 2pm. Then I went with Applely to have our car wash at Original car wash (finally, I think my car has not been wash for 6 months).

Since I felt sorry for neglecting my car for so long, so, I choose the best package for him.

Wash + polish = RM50 (Plus free drink)

While waiting, we order some snacks (RM10) and enjoy girls' session. However, when the car was finally done, it's only 12noon. So, to make full use of our time, we decided to go shopping to idle our time away.

In the end, I bought a...

Blue Blouse = RM40

When I finally sit down at Gamma and pass them my car key, the person in charge told me my car need full service since it's 2 years already.

The total charge = RM290

The money in my wallet increase because I used my credit card to pay at original car wash (both mine and Applely, that's why she paid me back cash), blouse by cash. But total credited to my credit card today

RM400.

Now, I know car is an expensive maintenance toy and a liability.

Indeed car is a high maintenance. But it's worth it as the car is what is have when there is plenty out there who do not have cars :)

Hi,
I also just paid RM270+ to service my car on Monday ler. And I always service my car on time, every 4-6months depend on mileage! That is not yet include the RM200 I pay to buy the minyak pelincir ok. So total damage to service my car that day almost RM500. And the machanic told me need to change timing belt, cost RM300. I say wait for next month! BANKRUPT!

RaiNboW said...

I did buy something... unfortunately too early. Now it's stuck...

Applely said...

Which stock u buy?? i stuck some in unit trust .. duh . luckily not that much.

All stock market i sold it off very early already .. not holding any stock now. I dun think it will get any better this year, or probably next year . Since the financial problem in US and other places has not been resolved yet.

I make some losses this time. Luckily dispose quite early, still not too bad. Now I plan to use dollar averaging method. Buy slowly, bit by bit and plan to hold for long term.
Wait till the index drop until 750 first, then baru decide what to do.

Applely said...

so u think it will drop till 750? Some people guess it will be 500 .. whahaha ..

RaiNboW said...

Haha.. I'm holding it at the moment. Because if i dispose it now, I will be making losses le..

Market drops to 500 points is a bit scary lah.. I think the most is 700++. When the price is low, it's the time to invest le, Applely. When the economy become better, it's time to let go.
