Dimes

Last night outside Cathay, I decided to indulge myself in an ice-cream sold by one of those uncles with their portable ice cream stands with a giant shade / motorcycles conveniently attached - even though it was selling at $1.20 and not the usual $1.

Inflation plus city prices leads to unimaginable price hikes, no?

Anyway. After handing me my bread, I passed him the money, but the uncle said "nevermind, see you so young, $1.10."

I tried to refuse the offer but he still insisted, so I thanked him and went off.

The peppermint ice cream aside, I suppose that last comment did help to lift my spirits after a crazy two weeks. Though, I'm not sure whether to be happy I still retain my youthful looks or whether I simply look too immature.

Ah well, always positive.

Invites later and I'm still awake.
It's been quite some time - am going to want to see familiar faces.

No witty commentary today.
