Had to consider what items to purchase, the value of each, party to receive it, suitability & the main consideration was I WASN’T LEFT WITH MUCH GOLD! Headache, headache! Went around the whole shopping centre from 3pm – 8pm and still didn’t manage to get all my gifts.
Need to take some time off from the next few days to get it again~
And dinner today was MACDONALDS! Had not been eating macs for quite some time in singapore but since I’m here, I shall break my restrictions for once! Hehe. Had a pork burger which tasted so-so. Nothing special about it thus, I still prefer singapore’s macs. Oh and over here, there is chocolate apple pie & yam taro pie. Something special and it tasted nice too =)
My Pork Burger.
Headed back to our hostel and turned in for the night.
Reflections:
Managing your own finance is very important especially when you are overseas alone. As we grow older,our own finances would not longer be handled by our parents. This would also be the time whereby we have to learn how to handle it and use it wisely by categorizing between our needs and wants. Most of the time, many of us would just convert RMB to $ and say that the item is very cheap. But what they didn’t know is by accumulating up all these small amounts, it actually sums up to a huge amount and by the time you realise that, your money have already been used up. Remember that we are spending our parents hard earned money!
xanier!
