I felt so bad after hearing these words from Mike last week. A part of me just feels like i want to be able to relate to him but the other part of me just cant seems to be able to think like him.

Call me a spolit brat, but i am changing for the better aint i? Feels like how we are brought up and the different society we are living in makes a huge gap in our lifes.

I would have never went to a car yard in Singapore. And the only time i would have went to a car "showroom" would be when my brother wants to change a new car. So it was a bit of a shock when Mike brought me to the car "junk"/ auction when he is looking for a car. And i was totally rejecting him when he tried to sell me the idea of having a written-off car.

Because of the hail storms, many cars were written off by the insurance companys. So those cars you see here can acutally be purchase when they are put on auction. Depending on the damages of the cars and the types of cars, the cars can be auction from hundreds to like 10000 or more. And of course you have to pay for the repairs and stuffs before you can get the car checked and drive it on the road. Still, it can be a lot cheaper than buying a new car and some of the cars are not very badly damaged at all. But then again, cars are always cheaper here compared to Singapore.

BUT seriously, why would one wants to buy a trash? They might be cheap and that's it! No offence here, it's like will you get yourself a pet for free, only to discover that it might be sick , dirty etc...? i just cant understand it!

I suppose i never understood the bargains here in the first place. Guess i'm missing out on the treasures then!! But how is it treasures when it is off no value to me? Oh well, at least i'm trying to learnt that one man's trash can possibly be another man's treasure.

I plead guilty of my pride and greed!!
