Where did all the money go?

Recently these few days... maybe few weeks.... or few months... or this year in general, money seems to be flowing out like waterfall.

Repairing damages. Paying fines. Shopping spree.

Case 1: my truck. I scratched it badly last few days ago. This time, hubs acted on it pretty fast. Maybe it was because he was at the car workshop as well, collecting HIS car from the workshop. His car needed major revamp too as it was falling apart, bits by bits. I didn't ask him how much he paid (NOT so dumb!)

So, we had 2 cars doing a major overhaul and now, they looked as good as new. The trusty mechanic couldn't stand seeing the old and dirty mats which was purchased when the car was bought, to protect the original mats, so he decided for us to change that blardy worn out mats too. Bless him!

Case 2: first time car being clamped! Ish! We went to this new unfamiliar mall for a function and was in a rush, as usual. In order not to be late for the special and important event, I parked the car at a non-designated slot, but pretty sure it wasn't blocking anyone's way. When we return to the car about 4 hours later, my heart went straight to the bottom seeing the wheel clamped.

We took about more than half an hour to negotiate and finally settled for half the price, i.e. RM25. Our faces were charcoal black! On our way home, korkor was asking weird questions and I snapped at him and the rest, NOT TO ask questions or make any sound for the time being. Until we get home. High time they learn to keep real quiet at foul moods like these.

Case 3: I think.... we had been spending money on a lot of items recently, both on needed and wanted stuffs.I must admit, some of the times, I lavish on myself unnecessarily. I feel down. I feel miserable, heck, I was depressed! Naturally, in times like these, I go out to see my favorite and beautiful things I love. And that spells danger, coz what's the point of seeing and touching and not owning them? *grin* (see? Happy already.)

There are many other cases where money, money, money *singing to the Abba song* but I shall let it rest.
