How I spend 'Grow & Share' package money

I always wanted to post this but currently I am having my exam so I am 'really busy' studying. HAHA! Okay, so after much procrastination, I finally gonna blog about this. If you are a Singaporean, I bet you would have already received your  'Grow & Share' package on 1st May (or earlier) or worst YOU HAVE ALREADY FINISHED SPENDING EVERY SINGLE CENT! LOL! Well, I am not an expert in telling people how to manage their wealth but here is how I spent my money wisely...

1) Treat my parent at Dian Xiao Er to celebrate Mother's Day.

Who wont be happy when the food they gonna eat are free! Haha! 

Duck Roasted with Ten Wonder Herb. My favourite dish! I love the crispy skin =D

Hong Kong Style Steamed Fish Slices.

Dong Po Pork

Chinese Spinach Superior Stock

Braised Assorted Mushroom w/ Broccoli

I spent about $120 for 4 pax. It is rather expensive because it is mother's day! All restaurant has mark up their price but it is still worth it because firstly, the money is given by our government, secondly, I make my parent happy =D Lastly, I get to eat also what! So this is money spent is definitely very wise! Lol!

Verdict: A cheeky win-win situation!

2) I bought  a new bag for myself to use when I start work in June! 

I bought a striking hot pink bag from PrettyFit. 

This bag cost me around $60+. This is actually the first time I spend more than $30 on a bag! Haha! I always change my bags so I don't find it necessary to spend so much money on a bag. Well, I still think it's worth it because...the money is given by our government and I LOVE THE COLOUR OF THIS BAG!

Verdict:  Another happy win-win situation! 

3) I bought additional accessories for my camera!

Adaptor Tube + Lens Cap + Lens Hood + UV filter For 52m Panasonic DMC-LX3

This is how my overall camera look like =D Although it is a semi-pro camera but now it does look a little like DSLR. 

I bought the additional accessories from ebay and it only cost me £9.47 which is about $20+ in SGD. Cheap cheap! Even if it is not as useful as wide angle lens BUT it definitely beautify my camera. =p

Verdict: Happy like-a-boss because it is a cheap buy! 


I still left with few hundreds which I didn't spend it at all because I have decided to keep it for rainy days :) I have just shared with you how I spent my money. How about you? Anyway, it doesn't matter how you spend it, the real question is... "Have you spend it wisely?"

By the way, please take note that even though I keep saying "the money is given by our government " that doesn't mean the money is really from our government! If you still don't know, the money actually comes from the tax payers o_o So don't be so happy whenever you recieved this sum of money before the election =p

My lumix lx 3 got a new clothing!

I bought the flora silver metal sticker from Gariz! After I get it from the supplier last night, I immediately went to MacDonald to stick it. Wahaha! At least now my camera don't look so black and typical anymore!

Anyway, Gariz also sell several other camera products. You may check it out if you are interested. All items are made in Korea.

Before

I added the white pearl beads with the help of my sis. Hehe.

After

The metal sticker is suppose to be silver in colour but perhaps the light in MacDonald make it looks like gold in colour or maybe my blackberry camera is not good enough. Haha! Anyway, here's the picture from the website. It give a much clearer look how it suppose to look like.

Check my new loots!!!

Yesterday was the greatest day! Lol! Even though I spend alot of money but I finally got what I wanted! =)

Guess which is mine? =D

I have wanted Blackberry bold 2 since a very very longgggggggg time! Guess what I got later in the evening..... MY LUMIX LX3!!!!! Weee!

I bought at M S Color @ $679 but I add a $20 to get an extra original battery. Usual price of the battery is $75. Other freebies include:

1) 8g memory card
2) case
3) oem battery
4) lcd protector
5) mini tripod
6) card reader

Quite a good deal as I have check with other shops, they are either out of stock or their freebies is only like a 8g card or case.

Anyway I sold off my old Sony T77 at $250, also my dear promise to gimme $200 ( I swear I didn't force him to gimme a single cent) and therefore I decided to buy this if not I am still staring at my money in the bank, hoping it will grow faster every night. Lol!

Oh well well.... Yay! I think my April gonna be a great month! Lol!
