Money Not Enough!

Sigh, it's such a cruel world where you can't afford the things you wanted! I was visiting the Perfect Livin 2011 exhibition at the Putra World Trade Centre where they exhibits the stuff that you'll need for the house from electrical appliances to furnishings. It was my first visit to such an exhibition as previously I don't have to care about the deco. Ever since I've joined the home owners club, I need to start thinking what am I going to do with the house!

Well, it's such a wonder that RM20k don't get you much nowadays. That's approximately the price of 2 units of 1 seater sofa that I fell in love with, with a Lebensstil fridge and a induction cooker. Wow... how could one possibly furnish the whole house at one go?!! I'm partly to be blamed because of such fine tastes. I just couldn't help it... I want my dream home!







And my dream kitchen is one that looks like this. There's a built in wine fridge to store my wines and champagnes with the right temperature. Then, there's an island in the centre for me to do my baking or act as a dining table if I'm dining alone or if it's just 1 or 2 people.



Back to reality, I can't really afford this kitchen and my house is not that big! Just the built in kitchen cabinets itself will cost more than RM10k, not inclusive of the fridge, the sink, the cooker, the oven and kitchen hood! Double sigh...

I want a colourful theme for my living room!

Lucky I didn't commit myself to sign up any packages at the exhibition despite them giving big discounts as I believe a wise consumer should only buy something they need at that time. I won't be rennovating the house till next year and certainly I won't need to buy anything now! You know what they say, there'll always be another exhibition... soon!

Massage & Body Scrub @ Aspen Spa

During the afternoon, I took my Mom to Aspen Spa located on the 1st Floor of Lorong Datuk Sulaiman 7 at Taman Tun Dr. Ismail for a nice body scrub and full body massage. There's a promotion during the Merdeka & Raya where the whole package only costs RM138 for a 90 minute treatment. Though it may not be some fancy spa places but it does offer a very professional and relaxing massage. The body scrub was very good as I can feel the difference after all the dead skin cells have been removed and the body is well moisturised now.







As for dinner, Mom and me decided to buy some food from the Ramadan Bazaar near our home instead of her cooking or eating at the restaurant. It's my 1st ramadan bazaar so far for the year. There are not many choices as only a few stalls are set up in my housing area. I was craving for ayam percik and lucky there was a stall selling that!







For RM3.50, it's a pretty decent price but I was more disappointed with the quality. They didn't grill it properly as the chicken were not completely cooked. The marinate wasn't strong enough but the chilli sauce does a good job by covering the lack of flavours.

The chicken murtabak I had wasn't any good either!

Colourful drinks don't appeal to me..

Actually I do realise how much food prices have gone up! I bought 5 pieces of really small fried cempedak (a fruit resembling jackfruit but has a soft and slimy texture) for RM2! The pieces were really small and I thought it was really expensive.



Seriously, if you think eating at the bazaars are cheap, they aren't. I usually end up buying more than what I can really stomach because I can't stop buying all the different kind of food that I wanted to try but then can't finish them. Money these days really can't buy much!
