Lucky $$$

I picked up M$11 yesterday.

We were walking to the Tiger Airways plane, parked just off Gate T3 at the LCCT. At the LCCT, there are no aerobridges to the planes. We have to walk to the aircraft via covered walkways, much like our walkways here under the HDB flats. Then a short open-air walk on the tarmac to the aeroplane steps. Which is fine..as long as it doesn't rain!

Anyway, I was just a little ahead of Peng who had Lisa napping in her baby-sling. Then I spotted something on the ground. One M$10 and one M$1 note, folded together, as if someone had collected it as change after a purchase and stuffed it in a pocket in haste. The person ahead of us was pretty far away and didn't look like she was turning back. So I picked up the money. It was my lucky day!

I thought that M$11 would probably be just enough to buy Peng and myself a cup of coffee and maybe a hot Milo for Lisa when the drink-trolley goes by! Well, it wasn't. A cup of coffee was S$3 / M$7. It was free money but it just wasn't worth paying $3 for a coffee which I can't even drink leisurely because the flight time is only 35mins??

Anyway, Finders Keepers!!

p/s : I picked up 20cents today. I was looking at cards in a stationery shop when a card fell behind a vase. I moved the vase to get to the card and there was a 20c on the floor. I picked both things up. Put the card on the rack, the coin in my pocket! :O)
