$

Lately, I have been spending much, definitely incurring deficit this month.

1) a pair of brake pads: $80
2) 4 x yokohama tyres: $230
3) dental visit: $36
4) treats for friends' bdays: >$100

UOB Singtel card kinda 'cheated' me by telling me they can waive my caller id subscription ($5/mth) if i were to upgrade to platinum card. But i found out later that this is not applicable to corporate plans (i am using Singtel corporate rate). However, the card has proven to be useful many a times, esp at eateries giving additional discounts up to 20%.

My Citibank platinum is only useful when i shop for groceries and pump fuels. It gives me 3% petrol discount on spot, plus additional 5% rebate monthly. Diesel is now having discount at 25%, meaning i get a total of (25+3+5) = 33% discount! Hopefully this saving can help to reduce the stress i am facing on my monthly expenditures.

Oh yes, Jay Chou has released a new album, with a song sung together with Fei Yu Qing. This song is really nice, but i thought it wud be better if Fei Yu Qing sing it alone, LOL. I guess many others share the same sentiments (some of my friends plus the deejays from 933).
