My B'dae(a happy downgrade)

This year for my b'dae i decided to have something different.i decided to have an ultimate downgrade compared to the past.

i decided to have this day to appreciate the simplicity of life and to have a slow pace of life for that day.so i decided not to go to any swanky 5/6 star hotel or some upmarket restaurant with some michelin star studded chef whipping up a storm for you.those pricy dinners and english hi-teas for me might be considered a thing of the past now.for this day i wanted to lead a very simple life, in a relax atmosphere.i wanted a change to my decadent lifestyle.period.

so for the whole mood to be set it has to start with the trip going there.of course i gave up a chauffeured driven trip.so why not try the public transport??i didn't want to go any where very distant so i decided to go to JP instead.walked around and decided to go to some place called fig and olive i think.some mediterranean style sort of thing.well the menu looks rather impressive.so decided to give it a go.yeah it was not bad.had some dory with cheeze on it.i had a set meal sort of thing.quite cheap i must say.soup+main course+a drink only 15,16 bucks.so i think quite reasonable.compared to the past when dining in some fine dining place the bill could easily escalate to a hundred per person excluding drink where a simple non-alcoholic mix could be around 15bucks at least(retard man1 drink=1 whole meal with drink and soup).


but maybe they lose out a bit on their service.like they serve their main course then their soup.so it was like...
so by the time i had the soup the main dish was already not in its prime condition anymore.but i was like nevermind lahs..afterall juz appreciate for what it is lahs.just took my time and relax and just enjoy the ambience.afterall there were not much people there.since most had work or went to school.


after that decided to go for some shopping.when i came back i realised that i bought 2 shirts and spend less than 100 bucks.quite impressive huh?i think total the shirts cost me aroud 80+...quite good already lah i think.compared to last time.anyhow go to those boutiques then in a way binge buying.then at least 1000 gone each time.then never really wear or use also.but Paragon service damn good man.but if u want to go buy LV go Taka got doorman to open the door for you too and dedicated staffs to attend to your slightest needs.


so this time i think i was quite careful in my spending.like i spend the whole day there.i wanted a shirt rather badly but then no size.their"XL" was like still very small on me(something bad about being tall man)so cannot get.but on hindsight i realise maybe it was a blessing in disguise.cause thinking back i think i would have regretted my choice if i had purchased it.lucky man....if not waste money again...buy then don't wear...haha

yeah so on the whole.the whole day was rather to my satisfaction.i also get to appreciate the simplicity of life and it made me realise that for any celebration its not very neccessary to splurge thousands without thinking and for the sake of doing so.but while shopping i received a lot of sms about the date of release of result which will be on the 12th.wadeva.it doesn't matter.get the results then see where to go.

anyway special thanks to those who send me b'dae regards, wishes, cards and all the gifts you guys showered me.i love them all.thanks guys.when i gave it to you guys i didn't really expect anything in return so thanks for everything.goodluck for the year.it will be a treacherous and arduous journey ahead for all of us...


i just put my hope and trust in you and in you alone.you know where is the best place for me.just like the path way you showed me and showered me with blessing and care along the way for the past few years...so wadeva it is ...i'm staying cool about it...i really hope i will
