It's hard being disciplined when it comes to money matters...

Met up with the BF after work at Suntec for dinner and the usual jalan jalan. Our mouths were itching to sink our chompers into either:

1) Shanghai dim sum at Crystal Jade
2) Sashimi delights at Kushinbo
3) Sashimi delights at Hanabi
4) Chicken wrapped in fresh lettuce leaves at Soup Restaurant
5)Fried chicken patties in a soft omelette nest at Tonkichi

It was struggle to reach a decision as we wanted to eat not one, not two but all 5.

In the end, guess which place we chose to go...

Neither. Suntec Fountain Foodcourt.

The issue of being less indulgent and saving our pennies for the future made us think twice of dining at expensive restaurants. In fact we felt pretty good after tucking into our less than $5 bucks per pax chicken rice and hokkien mee at the foodcourt.

Frankly, it's not easy to save and not splurge on impulse be it when it comes to food, fashion, gadgets or entertainment. My weakness probably lies in food and fashion. Many-a-times I commit the crime of spending exorbitant amts on fashion/food when my bank account is on red alert. Many-a-times I console myself that if I do not get it now, the top/bag/shoe will be gone when I get my pay etc and I will just put back the balance when I get my pay.

Not exactly the healthiest way to pyscho myself to part with my hard earned $.

It's not going to be easy but I will try my darnest.
