Car prices are falling these days, friends and acquaintances would often ask if I should not already be buying a car. Well, the thing is, due to a childhood "obligation", I can't just buy any car. During my budding teenage days where teens often dream of ambitions and the adult life to follow, I promised myself (amongst many other things) that my first car would be a BMW. Of course it's already been 20 yrs since. So yes cars are cheap, petrol is cheaper, and taxes (forget about taxes, it's ridiculous).....
But because I have to stay true to my childhood commitment of a BMW, so still no car yet, cuz it really doesn't make sense to buy a BM when one can get a decently good jap car (C swears he will burn down any Nissan march parked outside his gate). And here's my other rationale:
- cost of monthly financing = 1 tods bag (or 2 tods shoes)
- 1 yr of financing = 1 birkin bag
- birkin bag value is recession proof (proven)
- birkin will appreciate or hold steady. Car will depreciate
- birkin does not need to pay parking or taxes
- car is a status symbol. so is a birkin
- carry birkin bag into upmarket designer boutique will award one instant megastar attention from sales assts. Can't say the same by simply flashing bmw or jap car keys.
Yep. I think, BMW won't be part of my inventory for a long time to come. Thanks to childhood dreams.
On the other hand, Birkin (nor Tod's) were part of childhood dreams. Look how much quicker I'm progressing here. hah.

i will like to read C's blog if he has any comment about why a BMW not a birkin... hahahaah
as requested... why a BMW instead of BErkin..
1. Berkin aint no good for picking you up in the rain..
2. there are actually more dead german cows in a BMW than on a Berkin..
3. As a status symbol.. ONLY GALS WOULD notice a berkin.. to guys ...'its a nice bag'.. now a BMWon the other hand....
4.BMW trunks are great for storing all your SURELY must buy shopping!! you wouldn't wanna put ANYTHING in the berkin bag cuz you might mis-shape it!!
5. You can get cutesie babes into a BMW... try walking down Geylang with a Berkin and see what sorta response you get..
6. you can't stick Bigger rims, wheels, tail spoiler and BENG-ify a Berkin!!!YES.. people do that to BMW's too!
7. You feed BMW's dad cows (fossilised cows become oil..marsupials too)... and berkins are made of dead cows.. so they ARE similar!! BASICALLY cows die cuz you like em DEAD!!
AND yes, any cutsie cars outside my house will be BURNT... gotta rep to protect!!..
