Today, I took a day off to go to the ortho + dentists to have my records taken, and parted with a whopping $405.
O.o
The thought of the amount of $$$ I have to fork out once they actually start fixing my teeth looks like it's gonna be more painful than the procedure itself. How the fuck do poor people here afford to have healthy teeth when dentists charge so much???
Which got me thinking next... wouldn't it be awesome if $10,000 just fell from the sky?
Because these are the things I'd use the money for right away:
1. Get my car serviced. [$500-$600]
Ekoko-chan is due for her 90k service, which is a major (=expensive) one!
2. Pay for comprehensive car insurance [$591]
Mine has already been expired for more than a month fml.
3. LV Totally MM [$1210] + Map Bandeau in Cassis [$180]
I've been lusting after this work bag for the longest time cos it's practical and lightweight and really comfy! However the side pockets bug me a little because they make me think of a diaper bag, and I've been thinking of how I could 'decorate' the bag with a charm or something to make it less diaper-baggish. When I saw this photo of someone else's Totally on tPF today, I was sold. Bag + bandeau, match made in heaven!
4. At least three skin specialist appointments [$550]
I've been putting this off for too long. Disgusting blumps (bumpy lumps) under my skin have recently and mysteriously started to get inflamed into humongous, painful boils on my arms and back. =S
5. New waterproof/shockproof camera [$500]
My current compact camera is DYING (probably partially due to me being such a klutz), and I've been relying on my phone camera these days. Although I love my DSLR, it's just not as convenient to bring around.. especially not when kayaking or going to the beach!
6. Vintage classic Chanel (current bid is [$716] on eBay)
... because I'm a slut for handbags. Especially designer ones with history. 4 more days till the auction closes and it goes to some lucky lady! *tears hair*
7. Braces [$7000]
Don't ask me why so expensive..
8. Eddie's birthday suprise [$XXX]
Cannot say what lah, cos he reads my blog hehe.
Actually, looking back at this list it looks like I'd need more than $10k. Sigh. Can money please grow on trees? :(
