Singapore Profit

I’d been speeding to work for a couple of days, because I had been waking up late, and it’s a bad move. I’ve been burning up the fuel far too quickly, and to my horror, my petrol bill came up to 33% more than the first time I bought my car, which was four years ago. I already bought a fuel efficient Honda. US$100 for one barrel of oil? Soon. A friend of mine burns up $50 worth of petrol in a day in his fuel hungry Tuscani. Thank goodness I didn’t buy that noisy sports-looking car. $50 can last me for one week or so.

Having a car is certainly costing me a lot of money, and I guess I have to make more money elsewhere through my investments to cover the costs. One reader suggested living near your workplace. It’s really cheap to walk to work. Unfortunately, I didn’t buy the apartment that is near my workplace, because it is too far away from town. Even though I am going to change jobs, I have decided on a new place that is still near my current workplace. So I guess I am still going to have to spend that much on petrol.

Taking a cab might be cheaper, but the hassle of calling for a cab and ensuring I get to work on time can get on my nerves. Don’t tell me to take public transport. I nearly went crazy on the one-hour journey to my workplace, which otherwise takes less than 20 minutes by car. Someone suggested cycling to work, but too bad I can’t cycle to save my life, and I think I really live too far away. Er, and I don’t want to be sweaty before work. Besides, the air is so polluted. And it’s too dangerous!! Between this and getting in Washington DC blepharoplasty, I’d rather choose the latter.

Sigh, I might just regret giving up the other position I was offered in this place that is very near my house.
