Whenever I mention that I'm currently working in south tower of the Gardens, many responded by going ooohh and aaahh then something along the line of being jealous or how lucky I am and all that stuff.
Well, for one, I don't shop at all unless necessary, so it doesn't really affect me that much whether I work in business centres or office towers attached to shopping or some hidden shoplots in unknown lorongs. For example, I only buy new clothes when it comes to chinese new year, meaning, just once a year and I'll usually be done in 2 hours or less with the pants being the tricky part due to large belly.
But I have to admit that when it comes to time of emergency purchases - be it gifts or groceries or whatevers, it has been proven time and again to be a really convenient and fuss free affair.
Anyway, my point is, working here is not all that good - the parking rate of RM6 per day is still acceptable - the 'killer' being expenses on food. Though we can always opt for tele-lunch which averages to about RM5 per day but making this a daily affair would spell disaster. There's only so much of economical rice that one can take.
Hence, it boils down to hunting for food in MV or Gardens, driving out is not an option due to the dreadful congestion witnessed everyday. BTW, in case you didn't know, there's a new food court in Gardens next to Borders on the top floor of north court named Food Garden - not exactly that cheap but I think its lower than what you had to fork out in MV's food court.
Ever since working here, I think my expenses for lunch have almost doubled and slowly bordering towards tripled *gulps* And I used to think that RM4.50 for a humongous bowl of Pan Mee at Brickfields was a rip-off, sigh.
