Rhonda SG Orh... one more suggestion... apply for a POSB 'Save As You Earn' account. That way, every month, a predetermined amount is deducted from your earnings as savings in that account. If you have lotsa lotsa money, you can shop around for the bank that offers the highest interest rates on Fixed Deposits. Or, if you're financially saavy, you can invest and watch your money make more money!
stellazio SG let me teach u what i do.. don't go out at all..food everything eat at home.. meals outside eat cheap can le.. den take money go invest..
av98m SG I never lend out CDs anymore. Instead, I just burn copies for people. What kind of music do you like to listen to? BTW, I don't lend CDs to people for the following reasons: I have OCD and I get upset when: 1. CDs come back with fingerprints, scratches, or both. 2. People lose them. 3. Cracked cd cases 4. People lend them to their friends! Nah Beh!!! I had one CD that ended up taking an unscheduled 4 week trip to Australia and then back, minus the case! Oh, I also visually inspect each and every CD for I play, before inserting into the CD player's tray.
elindra SG LOL I listen to all kinds of music but I like Jazz alot. Wahhh av98m is sooo sweet. I pass you a bunch of blank cds
Rhonda SG Oh my goodness!! I'm like that too! I hate to lend out my stuff cause of the same few reasons! You can be my brother liao!
Rhonda SG OK, I tell you how OCD I can be : - When I purchase books / mags, they have to pass the 'shine' test. I'll hold them under the light to see if there are any creases or folds on the covers. - I hate it when people borrow my stuff to read and then flip through them roughly so that every page gets a crease spot or it gets dog-eared or very scratched. - If the book is part of a set / series, I hate to lend it out cause what if it gets lost, then the entire set is incomplete! Or, there'll be an empty space on the shelf where it's supposed to be and I just cannot stand seeing that glaring emptiness! A collection looks better whole!
elindra SG My gripe is when people return my CD with scratches on them or if the cover turns up broken I'm not so fussy about my books as long as they don't dog-ear them for me.
SydneyLibrarian SG Wah... hubby put his fave CD into the CD rom drive and we heard a loud 'crack' just now! We can't believe that it's broken.. opened it up and found little bits & pieces inside... now the CD rom drive can't be used, either *sob* Gotta buy another CD rom drive soon else cannot survive, man! Hmm... this is certainly NOT a good week to save money
av98m SG That is why I burn copies for people now. CDR is cheaper than replacing an orginal cd with scratches. And some CDs you cannot find replacements at all.
