Hanging on till Next Month

For the first time, I actually used my credit card online...yay! I used it to pay my handphone bill from the previous previous month. Yes I actually owe them money from that far back. If they continue to pursue for the last month's bill, then I will pay them eventually. But of course Im not going to leave it like that. I will pay my bank eventually but on pay day. I try not to make this a habit because I will end up paying more coz of the interest charged by the bank.


As for my other bills, I anticipate making another credit payment online again but this time is to pay for my internet and cable fees by their due date almost end of this month. The reason why is because I need the cash urgently this month for day to day expenses. I've been trying to save diligently as and when I can so that I can have some spare cash later on to tide over until my next pay day in December which will be inclusive of bonus. I don't know how much bonus I will get but whatever it is, I will keep them for future use. But of course, I will reward myself with some brand new stuffs lah after trying my best not to spend my current savings on new clothes and bags just to save money.


I just hope nothing major will come up :S I hate it when that happens and my plan is put on the back burner and I will struggle through again. Based on calendar dates, my actual pay day is on a Sunday so I will definitely get it earlier coz Sunday is a non working day. Im hoping that I will get it on a Friday not because Im greedy and can't wait for the money to shop. Coz I need the money by then to help pay for my brother's textbooks and uniform. If not, then got no choice but to borrow from my brother but he's quite a stickler when it comes to borrowing money though my next concern is whether he has enough.


For now Im hoping to survive for just this one week before I can relax a bit and hopefully it will be smooth sailing later on till my bonus. Im going to seriously cut down..I mean really really cut down compared to now...and be extra careful about spending because I don't think I have any other lifeline.


Let's just hope for the best. The journey is not going to be easy but I'll keep holding on to my last glimmer of hope.

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...
