There was miscomm between my grandma and my uncle, she thought dinner as usual at my uncle's place tonight, when it was shifted to Saturday. Thank god we're here, so dinner's on us!
Dad and I went to the old coffee shop around Holland area to get "zhi cha!". We know it'd be expensive because it's CNY, as usual, the rates as follows
Extra $2.00 - For meat / seafood per dish
Extra $1.00 - For Veg / Egg / Tofu per dish
Extra $0.20 - 1 hot/cold drink.
There you go. How absurd has this country become? Please tell me Mr Lee, are we suppose to stock up our groceries 2weeks before CNY and buy enough to last 2 weeks later, so that we aren't being rip off? $2000/mth used to be decent enough, but I guess if you're not taking back anywhere near the $3500 mark, you're basically working to pay debts off, almost your entire life.
Enough rants, had a nice little chat with Dad, about investing in F&B industry, getting a house in M'sia instead.
He suggest getting a Semi-Detach house near the new causeway, cost about SGD$350,000 all in with a pool, garden, furniture etc. Then renting out the house in Singapore to finance the loan as well as monthly expenditure.
Our HDB is able ot fetch $2,300 mthly, a hefty RM5,600, which makes perfect sense. The only thing is that, well I'd be so old and then myself and my sis will be moving out real soon, the whole huge ass house, what are the 2 of them gonna do?
Then again, he suggested renting a small shop, to sell merely curry puffs. M'sia curry puffs, which cost RM1.50 / piece. We'll order from them and resell it at our own cost, assuming we sell it at SGD$1.30 and purchase at $0.40/pcs, including rent and overhead, I can really see profits rolling in and stuff. The main issue is capital and I know he has connections to sell his ideas. So . . . maybe, just maybe, we'll be better off again?
