Things are getting expensive...

As fuel prices rise, things are getting expensive!
Experts say that fuel prices will only drop around 2009...And expect USD$170 per barrel soon...Currently around $140...

Went to BK today...Did a major rewiring on the car that makes most stuff modular, that is, some stuff can be unplugged easily instead of soldered on...

While about to complete my soldering, BK said I'm using the solder for too long and using his solder lead which is very expensive at Sim Lim and he has a business to run...Told me that I should get my own solder and do it at home...

I understand his situation as the shop owner...But...

1. Its not like I never pay my track fees...I thought my track fees covered some part of the electric bills?
2. He could have charged for using the soldering iron and etc...Or kept it from us...
3. What about other people bringing their own soldering iron and leaving it switched on for the whole day?
4. If I could do at home, would I waste my playing time to do solder there?

I've a soldering iron and lead at home, but its for small PCB/SMD...Not for these sort of things...

After he made that few statements, I seriously lost the mood to play...Though I just hurriedly finished 3 packs to try my car and charged only 1 pack before I left...

I've learnt my lesson, I'm gonna buy my own high wattage soldering iron and lead...

The respect I held for him is diminished...
