indulgence of the month
Scene of crime : IKEA it all started one fine weekend, while out shopping at ikea…. "think our study room is stark empty, we should get a bookshelf!" Mr funnie, amicable (FAT) tapor bellowed… "so, how many books are u going to put on the bookshelf?!?!" "I just think it looked empty…" Mr FAT continued to mumble to himself in the busy confines of ikea while Ms PIG ignored him…. "Oh, let’s get a computer table!" Mr FAT’s small, squinting but sharp eyes has caught sight of a huge birch effect (light wood colour) table on silver-grey legs… "we can then put in the study room….every home should ve a computer…we can play computer games now…my bro got a free printer in a lucky draw, we can use it now!" Mr FAT rambled on. Sensing the excitement in Mr FAT, Ms PIG decided to go with the flow…and off they went on to choose the table, the table legs, the computer chair etc….(since they were on a shopping spree) Ms PIG was tempted to stock up stationery from ikea… fortunately for the world, Ms PIG exercised much restraint against further wrongdoing (such as bursting the credit card limit, then having to deal with the torturous payment of bills) She did not load the stationery (u go girl!) into the shopping cart. (well, she figured she will get a better deal in popular store) Scene of Crime : Outside IKEA " since we just bought a nice nice big big office table this week, we need to get a computer on the table by the next week!" Mr FAT reasoned. (yah, we need a computer to cover the table so that there will not be dust collection on it, so smart of FAT PIG) Ms PIG was now feeling very weak and busy as she tot to herself, " buying a pc is not easy task, just imagine the info search u need to do before the purchase…and furthermore there is no computer fair now! save me!" Scene of crime : At funan IT mall, Harvey Norman Mr and Ms FAT PIG went to Harvey Norman (a german monk, yah rite!) when they arrived at funan ( a province in china, yah sure!). it was the first store they went in and voila! they were taken in by the silver tongued salesman and bought a hp pavilion white silver PC with LCD flat screen at $1999… recalled : "buying a pc is not an easy task" - Ms Pig " it’s a steal, you know! u get 512kbps, 80gigabyte, intel pentium processei 4.1, 6 in 1 card reader…..APPLE LOOKALIKE PC, 3 years extended warranty, FREE CABLE MODEM, FREE TWO MONTHS’ BROADBAND ACCESS, all for only $1999!!!!" exclaimed the salesman. Frankly, "Mr and Ms shallow FAT PIG were only interested in the items listed in caps…. There u have it, a heinous sin was commited…the PC was sold. Verdict: The closing chapter (jie an cheng chi) The accused being Mr FAT and Ms PIG, due to their moment of folly and stupidty and impulse, have unwittedly committed the unspoken sin, INDULGENCE. Hereby, the punishment await them is the shock and dismay they will suffer and endure when they receive the next month’s credit card bill… indulgence is a vicious cycle.. table => computer => pc games => high tech gaming toys =>more space to put the gadgets => BIGGER table! DARN! I did not tell you abt the manicure and the facial packages I have signed up…sinful indulgence really…the tiny woman whimpered…(ok, it does not sound like whimpered…) Ms pretty, intelligent girl (PIG) shrieked…
