A couple of weeks ago, Mas told me that she bought a gold bar & dinar from her brother. So I did take gold~investment into consideration. Furthermore, due to the unstable economy nowadays, maybe it's a wise move.
However, after a brief research, I guess by being optimistic that our country won't join Greece into bankruptcy, a saving in Tabung Haji or PNB is a safer, non-risky move & more profitable on annual basis. Gold~investment is more suitable for long term like 10 years due to the unstable price itself & depreciation in the selling value. At least that's what I can conclude from my brief un-thorough research.
So for a normal middle-income person like me which hardly has extra money to venture on a long term investment, I guess it's better buying gold jewellery to be wear. Still sort of like a saving in time of desperation instead of focus on the investment.
Ok, I have desired to buy a gold bracelet quite sometimes actually. I want to buy a bracelet with spring or box hook instead of the common S hook. But I kept postponing it cos I'm not actually a fan of jewellery. It causes discomfort to me. The last time I bought 916 gold was before my wedding & it was for batal air sembahyang. That was 10 years ago. I did buy a white gold bracelet in 2010 as a reward for myself for getting a master degree. So after 5 years, I guess it's time to buy another one if I could find the design that I like.
Coincidentally, on Thursday the day Iman was confirmed infected with chicken pox, I had some times to survey gold shops at Alamanda since Iman refused to go home & I had nothing better to do. I didn't find the design that I really like & even if I did the workmanship costed RM400++ which turned me off.
Well, I guess it was my rezeki after all. A week after, on Thursday the last day I'd be on leave due to Iman's condition, I decided to go to Mak's house. Before that, I drove to Bangi Sentral & planned will only stop by if I got a parking place. It happened that I got to park my car nearby a gold jewellery store which was still near to Sugar.scarf, Bella~Ammara & so on.
So, I did find the design that I really like with spring hook. The price of the material & workmanship was cheaper compare to my survey at Alamanda. I'd highly recommend this shop. It's a muslim gold shop. It just that, it doesn't offer debit/credit card service for payment (yet). So make sure you bring lots of cash.
As for me, cos I had fell in love with the design, I chose to walk & carry Iman to the nearest bank to withdraw the cash. A small to medium size bracelet with either spring or box hook, has a very limited design you know.
So yes, now I have a favourite gold store even though maybe the next time I buy another gold jewellery is another next 5 years.
