Well, here's the thing, there is always someone willing to pay that extortionate price which keeps the business going. It makes sense 'cuz there is limited resources here and when one is desperate enough, the price tag is negligible. For example, when one is thirsty and there no where else to buy cheap water around, one has no choice buy to spend that amount so that his or her thirst can be quenched. Same thing goes for food and last minute present which one supposes to buy for their loved ones at home but forgot about it.
On the other hand, sometimes people like to splurge a bit to feel a sense of glamour or what not. Sadly, I'm one of these people from time to time especially when I'm going back to my hometown. One reason is that once I'm home, I have the luxury of relying on my parents to spend for me. I won't have to concern about what to eat or how much I need to spend for the rest of the months or those sorts of issues. Thus, whenever I'm at the airport, I don't mind spending a bit month (e.g., drinking Coffee Bean) just to pamper myself after months of being frugal. Call me snobby but I believe that a person deserves to feel like a king once in a while.
Needless to say, that doesn't mean I always like it to go home. Usually, my parents have to coerce me to go home and sometimes, festivals such as the Chinese New Year require me to be present at home. It's not so much as to my family's constant nags about my life (actually, that would be the top reason) but I hate the usual routine of riding the tight-seated bus and plane while wasting m precious time of waiting for these vehicles to arrive. I'm waiting for my flight at the moment which got me thinking about writing this post.
Anyhow, Chinese New Year is just around the corner which is my reason for going back this time. With that I leave you with a picture of me (my Lego self). Cheers
