Yup, 5 more days to go...And yup, 5 more days before it's Pension Payment Day! Like working ppl, we pensioners only wait for "Manikam's" day, namely the day when "Money Comes..." Ha ha! And that day is officially either the 20th or the 21st of most months...
And, as advised by our Govt & most sane ppl during such hard times, we need to change our lifestyle. And so we did & have been. Applying the " Need & Want" philosophy. To a reasonable extent, of course,...hehe...
But, as life normally is, we need to "splash" a bit! From time to time. Or else Life wouldn't be worth living at all if one cannot even pamper oneself once in a while, right? Yup, there must be a so-called "Value of Life"! Esp after days & days of belt-tightening efforts. Can't be virtually drowning ourselves in $$ and $$ all the time. Can virtually die la. Agreed?
Well, this time around me threw a little bit of $$ to get something which was kinda overpriced when it was the hottest thing around...yup, a Tunsten Carbide Magnetic Bracelet! For my other half...since the price is now down quite a lot & thus kinda affordable now. It used to cost above RM100 each!! Even above RM200 at one time!! Phew...
Source? My usual local auction website...where else? Ha ha!
And, in spite of the special holiday today in Kedah ( so declared so Kedahans could celebrate their Sultan's Jubilee (50yrs) reign), our friendly Poslaju delivery system was still operational! Lucky us! And so we took delivery of the bracelet earlier just now...just after lunch.
Pls see pics of it below :

The bracelet is a bit heavier than the ones I had previously bought ie the much cheaper stainless steel and/or titanium ones but this one is lots shinier though. Supposedly scratchproof...but would chip/break upon a hard fall since it's said to be kinda brittle like ceramics!
And seeing that smile, that lit up my other half's face, made it worth every $$ that me "splashed" this time around...
On the political front, however, things are getting kinda exciting though...a "Live" debate is on tonight ( hard to really be sure though...in politics...) between the PKR head, DS Anwar Ibrahim, and the Govt's Minister of Information. It'll supposedly be aired Live via 3 private channels. Well, something to "look forward" to, huh? If it should materialise, that is, ...a rare event in Malaysian politics...
That's it! A quiet start to the week. Am looking forward to some excitement tonight. Sincerely hope yours was more eventful, maybe?
