Current state of my bicycle

It has been quite sometime since i last rode my bicycle. The last long ride is during Chinese New Year when i am entitled to few days off. At that time my bike is already in quite a bad state. Handlebar tape is stained with my sweat, chain and cogset are all dried up and clogged with dirt and lastly both the tires are all very wear off.

Today, i rode with Wilson along East coast park and Coastal road. Rattling sound from the drivetrain made the ride kinda unpleasant. Lastly on the way home, riding along the flyover to Expo, my tube burst. The tire has wear off a portion, exposing the tube. With no remedy, i had no choice but to push my bike slowly back home. Lucky the distances from my home is just maximum 2km away.

Well, will be sending her to L&T bikeshop for servicing and change of tire next weekend. . I'm contemplating of selling her away, getting another bicycle, thus thinking whether should i get a high-end or entry-level tires. Estimate expenditure would be above $100
