Guess what everyone!
I’m having a video shoot of me right now with a camera crew from a TV channel behind me. And we’re doing one of these insert shots where the camera man stands behind me or around me while I pretend to blog or do some work on my laptop.
So I thought rather than just doing some mock entry maybe I can take this opportunity to seriously update my blog and give you guys a quick update.
In other news a big personal high for me in my life is that I just bought myself a set of new rims for my bicycle. This is how my old bicycle looks like with the rims.
And this is how it looks like now.
Gotta admit that I took a really long time to decide on these rims because they were really expensive but now that I have it. I love it. Not only does it look badass but it also gives me a much smoother riding experience and improved my performance.
But I literally took like 3 months to decide on whether to buy this or not because of the heavy price tag. I decided to do it anyway after asking my readers on Dayre whether I should buy it or not. And most.. well okay… marginally most of them said I should. So haha tadaa.
Now that I have.. I’m glad I did.
The falling stock market in the past couple of weeks has erased a bunch of wealth from people all around. This kinda taught me one thing. That whatever money we have isn’t really ours to enjoy until we have spent it on something we like. Be it a holiday or a new phone or in my case a new set of wheels.
But we often hold back because of budgeting reasons or because sometimes we feel guilty if we spend too much money. I guess it’s about striking a balance. While we shouldn’t go into debt for buying little luxuries, every now and then it’s good to spend some money on something we like. Take it as an investment in our personal happiness.
