Here Comes The Money.
My roomie announced to me excitedly all of a sudden that he has gotten the Exxon Mobile PA that he has been craving for ever since he applied for it. I think he might lose sleep over it tonight. Well, anyone would. He - Ehhh, happy liao lar. I got accepted by Exxon Mobile!! Me - Wah. They call you so late at night? He - No lar. Check online. Wahhh, $1,200 lae!! Me - I think you won't be able to study again tonight. He - Wahhhh, arrrhhhhh!! $1,200 lae!! Me - ... Me - Hmn, I think there's no point in studying anymore hor? He - [smile sheepishly] Money drives our world round. My income from the 2 weeks stint is cashing in this Friday. We are Mr. Money-in-the-bank!
