The Big B

Recently, I'm wondering why I still bother to save up when I'm going to get extra money next month due to bonus. But I felt that I need to save up because when my money is running low, I still have some savings to sustain on until my next pay. I may look like I'm simple minded and blur at times, but when it comes to money, I wise up because I just have to as I'm not going to be the only one suffering. My family will. And while my mother knows that I save up every day and have a budget of about $10, which I have no idea where she derived the info from :S, she can be pretty demanding with her choice of things to buy.
 
I cannot say much about how much I have now but currently am a bit scared I won't have enough later on prior to my pay but I'm hopeful. Yesterday they announced through the media how much civil servants will be getting and it's a two month bonus inclusive of the 13th month bonus. It's a heck lot better than last  year, I think, and after I minus off my mum's monthly allowance including her bonus and my brother's allowance, I still have more than enough for myself :D But of course I won't all coz still have to set aside some amount for future expenses.
 
I did an estimation of how much bills I have to pay inclusive the outstanding bills and I have some shopping and dinner money, not inclusive of the amount I am planning to set aside in my other savings account. I plan to buy me some new clothes :), new shoes :)) and new bags :))) but yah if you know me well enough, I may just get one or two items, chet. So much for planning. The economy was super bad last year and I had to control my spending using my bonus money although I felt bad for my brother coz I promised the sky (well, almost) by wanting to take him to some restaurant that we can't really afford to go but then we end up at going to Sakura's as it was cheaper.
 
Then yesterday, I asked him where he wants to eat and he said he wants to go to Manhattan Fish Market coz he has always wanted to go there.
 
 
Looks yummilicous anyway....trust the bugger to come up with something good.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
