Back in May, I had a very vague idea of eBaying my way to a brand new spanking monitor. It didn't pan out and I stuck to the red-less monitor(s) that have been faithful to me for years.

But now, the inevitable is here.

Instead of not displaying the colour red, the monitor now only displays a flatline!

Which means, the dreaded visit to the Ladang Buaya of Computers & Technology - Plaza Low Yat!

Low Yat: Deal or No Deal

A week after returning from my trip to Australia, I met up with a friend in Subang.  Long story short, five minutes into the meeting, I got a job at her workplace as a temporary worker, which fits my immediate need perfectly.

Convocation is a month away, so while waiting for the big day, why not kill time while earning some cash eh?

The deal was for RM7/hour and I don't get paid if I don't show up. Flexible enough I'd say.

Nonetheless, I needed to justify the temporary employment opportunity by analyzing the cost and benefit (Cost-Benefit Analysis is what they call it in economics.)

So I did a rough calculation to determine whether or not the employment opportunity costs more than the benefit I gain. (Balik modal tak kalau kerja kat sini?)
