Budget Week

Oh my goodness, I am so freaking lazy to upload pictures to my multiply account. You have no idea how complacent I have been. This morning, after waking up (for uhm...about 45 minutes after my alarm first rang..hehe)..I managed to clean up my sofa. I know what you're thinking. What is there to clean on the sofa? You...have never seen a sofa like mine. It doubles up as a dumpster..and dont let me go into the details.
 
You know what...I thought I would be the only one whose budget is so freaking tight, it hurts. Apparently, Im not alone. One of my colleagues in the morning, was telling me that this week, she is not able to buy for me milo because her budget is tight. Uhm, yeah, apparently my colleagues thought that Im such a nice girl that they like to buy me drinks and often they dont let me pay back...go figure. See, what niceness does to you...hehe.
 
Other colleagues of mine were also cutting costs but some of them were still nice to bring breakfast from home to be shared among all. I finally made my contribution this morning when my mum made some kuih suji yesterday night and had packed it in a small container. I didnt expect it to be finished so fast but heck, that is just in the morning..haha..and we're known for being big eaters. For me, I could only graciously accept the offer by just sampling or eating mere few bites as I could only practise caution by not going overboard. I am a reformed (yet again....) snack queen. Then during lunch, I could almost slap myself for taking three dishes instead of my earlier decision to eat two coz that would have saved me..like uhm...80 cents? People, 80 cents can mean a LOT if you're broke. And it didnt help that later, the two colleagues who went down with me to buy the lunch from downstairs, only ordered two dishes coz of budget constraint. GAH!!!!!! Why cant I get behind my thick skull that Im on a freaking budget?! Well, at least Im not alone and Im so not gonna make the mistake again later for this week..haiz..
 
Meanwhile, my other female colleague whose is about the same age as me is enjoying being part of the dating cum meeting new guys circle. How lucky. Even though I have not been in this circle, when she's faced with confusion and a bit of pressure, I could only advise her to take things slow and at most, if things dont quite work out as in 'more than friends', well....they can be just friends and I dont think that is a loss. It's also called widening the social circle..or networking..coz you will never know, if that friend has a better guy friend and so forth.
 
Okaylah, one part of me envy her bravery for wanting to meet new guys whether is it based on colleague's recommendations or a relative's recommendation. I thought that hey, maybe it's not such a bad idea after all but as open minded as I try to be, I am just afraid the other party may not feel the same way too. Really, I dont mind being friends which would open up my almost stagnant social life and also just for the fun of it but I dont think others think in the same line as me. I mean, I cant blame them coz hey, who doesnt want a stab in their love life?
 
You know what. I think Im gonna stop reading these real life articles about people in and out of love and the trials and tribulations they had to endure during the course of their relationship.
 
Why?!
 
Coz Im turning...MUSHY!!! Argh!!!

Birthday Gathering & House Hunting

Last week, I celebrated a friend of mine's belated birthday together with another friend at her condo. Sadly, this would be the last time we would hold the celebration at her place because she has finally managed to sell off her condo unit after one year of looking for a buyer. Mostly we used the swimming pool facilities although the two of us didn't swim at all but just chill under the shade. We brought home cooked food and I really appreciated my friend for doing this for us, thinking about how the young son of a friend of us would love the swimming pool for kids. She is so selfless and kind to her friends and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life.  While one was selling off the house, the other friend was on the verge of getting a dream house for herself and her young son. In life, we have many priorities and things to look forward to. Each of our dreams and aspirations are different from one another, like for me, getting a house is not a priority at the moment.  ...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...
