And today, I think its a lesson I should learn and apply.
I was out the other day, doing some window shopping, to see what to get for the "Secret Santa" that we're having at the office again this year.
I came across this accessory set and was compelled to buy it.
It was the last set and it cost RM 255, and I hesitated. It didn't come with a body, just the uniform and gear for 12-inch figures. It looked really nice, but I was in a rush so I decided not to get it.
Today, I finally decided what to get for the "Secret Santa" and decided that I would like to get that Navy SEALs CQB set as well. Unfortunately, it was already gone when I got there today.
This is what you get for hesitating.
Disappointed, I didn't want to go home empty handed. Decided to go buy something else that I saw the other day - a new pair of shoes.
I never knew CAT made shoes before this, CATERPILLAR is well known for the tractors as far as I know.
The shoes were RM 329 but there's a Christmas sale going on (which is everywhere right now) and there was a 20% discount. It's simple, nothing too flashy, I like it. It looks abit like the Hush Puppies that I wanted to get a few months back, only less colourful. And this time, I didn't hesitate.
OK - that was a lie, I actually saw the shoe the other day as well and I finally decided to get it.
I spent another RM 200 or so on some Timberland shirts at a warehouse sale a few days earlier. And these weren't even on the shopping list!
I've walked past Carl's Jr. on several ocassions at 1Utama. Finally decided to give it a try. Dinner cost me almost RM 30!
What did RM 30 get me?
A Double Western Cheeseburger, Beef Chilli Cheese fries and a Medium drink.
What's good about Carl's Jr.? The servings are GARGANTUAN. I kid you not. I ordered a Medium drink but the size of the cup was roughly the size of a Large cup at McDonald's. The burger was about the size of a Quarter Pounder from McDonald's.
I had trouble finishing my meal - but I swallowed every last bit - no way I'm going to let RM 30 go to waste! Plus everyone at home doesn't take beef.
If you do want to go to Carl's Jr., I'd suggest you go if you're really hungry, skipped at least 1 meal before or bring someone along. You can easily share a combo meal, and just get an additional drink.
I might probably go there to try out the other burgers on their menu, but give me a Big Mac or a Double Cheeseburger anyday.
Someone recorded the latest "The Dark Knight" trailer that screened before "I Am Legend" in the USA and posted it up on YouTube. I've seen it about 4 - 5 times. Shitty quality - but the trailer is awesome! Go check it out here. It will be posted up pretty soon here in High Definition!
Here's the latest video on YouTube, the prologue - the introduction of The Joker. He's freaky, you can see that this Joker is a psychopath. Heath Ledger is awesome as The Joker and the movie isn't even out yet. I think he's going to beat Jack Nicholson's performance, hands down. I'm loving it!

A Double Western Cheeseburger, Beef Chilli Cheese fries and a Medium drink.
Drink refills are free, and I finished half a cup of my SEASON'S Ice Lemon Tea before my food arrived.
I opened up the package of fries, and didn't really see any cheese on it - maybe it melted into the chilli - but when I checked my burger, there was no cheese as well! So, I got 2 items with cheese in its name, but did not contain any cheese. I took my burger to one of the staff and she replaced it with another one.
Normally, this would be a dangerous thing to do - there was recently a movie starring Ryan Reynolds about what "extras" go into food at a diner - but I didn't think much of it.
The burgers are expensive, and it wasn't bad. But it isn't anything to shout about either. The Double Western Cheeseburger came with 2 patties, the cheese (added on later was probably not even a full slice like in the pictures), 2 or 3 onion rings and barbeque sauce.
