Titus back to life
The chain of my Titus watch broke a few months ago. When it happened, it was the saddest day in that week. This is the first watch I bought with my own money. My previous watch was bought by my parents 8 yrs ago when I got the ASEAN scholarship and it cost 38,000 rupiah only (abt US$4). Though it's a cheap watch, it never fail serving me so far. Anyway, I decided to fix the broken chain. One of the pins connecting each segment is missing, so I use a thin wire to replace the pin. Yes! My Titus is back to life! I have done 2 surgeries to this watch so far. The first one was replacing the battery.
If I have lived in Indonesia at the time my Titus broke, I would have gotten a new watch. I realized how different is my life in US and the one in Indonesia. Independence comes at a price. In US, I have to suffer by cooking my own meals, wash dishes, do laundry, etc; but I am independent. In Indonesia, I live my life like a prince but no freedom. My mom teased me sometimes about getting a gf to help me out in the chores:) Seemed like a win-win solution.
I am not sure if I prefer the US version of Handiest to the Indo version? What do you think? Don't think too much though...haha
