nope. none of that.Originally posted by ToLox:Ermmm...starblue....Do u own or wear any jewellery? Gold? Diamond by any chance? what abt jeans? u own any Levis? or a dress that might cost more then 50 bucks?
my bracelet costs $3.90. the ones before that cost $2.
my jeans cos $20 - $30 max.
why the question? -
It is actually the status symbol satisfaction. not the sturdy or presentable.Originally posted by maxie:I own a $1,500 Tag Heuer watch and it's different from Seiko/Guess/Swatch watches. It feels sturdy, looks presentable whether in a suit or in casual berms.
Not only that, it's the best purchased ive ever made because ive got my own piece of jewellery. In comparison, gals spend their money on LV/Guccis.
Why can't we do the same?
i won't know if your watch is tag heuer unless i go near you and scrutinise it. unlike those logomania hand bags. from far far away, you can already see the brand.
Anyway, if you are happy with it, that is good cos it is very hard to find a watch that you like. i still can't find mine. but I also dont like to wear anything on my wrist. -
im younger than you.Originally posted by starblue:and to think i feel 200 dollar watch absurd....
-____-"""
if i was any more sober right now, i would habe screamed......

and how do u know how old i am?Originally posted by maxie:im younger than you.
anyway, a 1.5 k watch is just totally wasteful for me.... -_-" it can feed my entire family (newspaper, handphone bills, gas, electiricity all included) for an entire month, dude.... -_-" -
I think the first watch I bought for myself was only about 200... a swatch aqua chrono about more than 10 years back....
After that, I stop wearing watch... cos I find that wearing a watch like not for me... thus no buy watch anymore...
Anyway, kids nowadays are really pampered... wait till they grow up and they will know... -
another of those $200 a watch kids... -____-" i wonder if i am the one who's out of fashion...Originally posted by caleb_chiang:I think the first watch I bought for myself was only about 200... a swatch aqua chrono about more than 10 years back....

Ive got friends who below 20. And they're filthy rich. One of em' owns about 2 watch...one of them costs about 3k. Another one owns a branded bag as well.
A few more to list but i can't remember...lost track of em.
If you've seen Urban(2 weeks ago) a 20 yr old gal(student) was featured wearing a Cartier watch($4,500) and a Chanel Bag($3,000). Ive seen another gal probably 17/18 wearing an Omega Constellation with diamonds.
Im mild in comparison...

The world is growing on materialism. It's no longer what you have in your bank. It's what you have in your bank and what your wearing(inc. stealth wealth luxury goods.). -
No offense but you're missing out alot in life.Originally posted by starblue:nope. none of that.

You're not out of fashion...just that you haven't got addicted to it yet...if you aren't...don't start

A bit like kampung girl from remote part of indonesia but since you live singapore and is connected to a wealth of information through the internet, you cant be that kampung. -
i dunno whether to "hope so", or to "hope not" to that....Originally posted by maxie:I felt like you initially but when i got my dream watch...it felt like heaven.

Actually if you are happy with what you have now, it is already good.
We should not be envious.
remember that Paris Hilton Song: Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, is an evil thing -
HyuugaNeji is a Naruto Character.Originally posted by starblue:oh hi!!! you're the same Neji that i know from years ago right? -
i...... will take that as a compliment on the whole.Originally posted by HyuugaNeji:Hmm you are a virtuous and thrifty girl. I like. A bit like kampung girl from remote part of indonesia but since you live singapore and is connected to a wealth of information through the internet, you cant be that kampung.
i just came from a working class family lah... so saving and being money-conscious is what is necessary for my survival. when i am rich, and i still spend the money i spend now, THEN i will call that thrifty.

It's only a matter of choice for Singaporeans.Originally posted by starblue:and i am probably dirt in comparison.
ok, i am NOT gonna feel down when i am drunk... hell, i'm supposed to feel high, damnit!
I guess Singaporeans can easily afford luxury goods... -
no. i am not entirely satisfied with what i have now. i want to reach the point where i can spend 7-10 bucks on a meal and not feel the pinch.Originally posted by ultranova3:Actually if you are happy with what you have now, it is already good.

that, for now, is my benchmark on a good life. -
Nope sorry. different neji.Originally posted by starblue:oh hi!!! you're the same Neji that i know from years ago right?
