After I finished with my gym today, I noticed that I need small change for my parking fees. Just imagine while you are in KLCC, where would you go to get some small change? For the normal me, I will go to a bakery shop and buy a bun, it is cheap. So I did as what I usually do. I walk to a bakery shop. When I reached the bakery shop, I start to think, if I buy a bun, I would eat it and is 7pm at that time. When I reached home I will probably eat again. So my work out will be wasted. I realized that this is not a good way to get a small change.
I walk to a magazine shop. For the normal me, I will go for recipe kind of magazine or any women magazine. Then I start to think, my sister and sister-in-law have the monthly subscription for Cosmopolitan, Cleo, Female…. So I shouldn’t spend any more on women magazine. Then I start looking at the recipe book. However, i couldn’t get a recipe book that suits me. I start to look around the cheapest thing in the shop. Oh good, I finally decide what to buy. I took a RM0.80 clorets. I gave the cashier RM50. This is the smallest note I had in my wallet. The cashier shakes if head. I ask him what does it meant. Then he said, they don’t have small change. I try to calm myself down and walk away. I was rather angry at that time. Normally I will screw him up. It is not my problem that he don’t have small change for me, instead he should think of ways to solve the problem. If I have this kind of employee, trust me, I will for sure give him a good lesson.
Oh, I have to think of what to buy now. The bakery shop is really a temptation for me and I can smell the freshly baked bread calling my name. I said NO to myself. So I went to a cheap hair accessories shop. I spent 10mins hunting for the cheapest thing yet useful. Guess what I got? I spent RM1 and get more than 2 dozens of safe pins. Finally I got the cheapest thing I want and got my change.
Although this is just a small incident, I resisted the bakery shop temptation, sales around the shopping mall. I did not spend money on the unnecessary thing.
Good on me : )

don't forget, the time you wasted on looking for small change also worth some money.. hahaha!!
I did consider that when i was looking around. As u know, KLCC parking rate is rather expensive. The good thing is, during the weekdays, the maximum rate is RM5 : ) For weekend, u better watch out, the parking rate can go rocket shot. Luckily i can use my brother's season parking ticket. (He is working in Maxis)
