"New furniture" Part 2

Sometimes I do wonder if I'm really a spendthrift... Or am I just some spoilt brat.. Or basically I always don't think rationally.. Or I just lack discipline?

Hmm... Actually I think I am all of the above. What my father said regarding my idea of having a TV is quite true arz. Right now while I'm serving NS, I will seldom get to use the TV as well, except when it's weekends. Then after NS, most probably I will need to work some temp job to earn back that LOTS of $$$$ LOSS I have incurred for the past 2 yrs... And this means I will seldom use the TV as well except during weekends... And then when sch starts next yr in Aug, possibly I will want to stay in the hostel to try out hostel lifestyle, and probably I will only use my TV during weekends....

And the only time I can "utilise fully" my TV is perhaps when I will choose to "stay-out" from sch during yr2 and yr3, then I will be able to go home everyday and can use it for my own entertainment purposes w/o just putting that TV there to collect dust...

And that will mean I will have to wait till mid-2009? Haiz... donno lar. What should I do?

Actually I won't really feel that "heart-pained" if I spend my money on such stuff. I donno leh.. Even though I have "wasted" so much money on so many things in my entire life thus far, but I don't feel the pinch, as personally I feel that it's "worthwhile" to pamper yourself in life. Like you always see on TV, you can't bring your money with you when you die.. So.. What's the point? And also it's like life is so unpredictable, you never know when u can just get into any accident and die.. And then imagine during your last few dying moments you will be thinking "Aiyaz, why didn't I buy XXX that time or I never go country XXX for holiday... Now I live my life in vain arz!!" and then you just die like that. Gosh. Okay lar, I know abit drama but then it's that kind of idea I wanna get into.

And most importantly, I know now maybe I'm just poor fellow....

BUT NVM, I shall study hard and get a good degree and then get a high-paying job that is can easily fetch me 10 times MORE than what I am currently earning as a NSF now. And of course I mean a few yrs after I start working as everybody knows that your pay sucks as a newbie wherever you go unless you are really lucky to be that top 1% in the workforce to get like wat 5K a month for starting pay? Okay lar.. I disgress too much le...

So back to the topic... Should I buy or should I not buy? A table bench propably will cost me around $100.. And a 26 inch LCD TV will probably cost me close to 1K? And maybe a cheapo DVD player will cost $50? Haiz, total up also must cost like 1.2K like tt... Owellz, maybe this coming weekend I should just try going to Best Denki or Audio House or some other electronic retail outlets and check out the prices before I do anything...
