Celebrating My Birthday in 2013 - Part One

This is going to be a 3 part series..or maybe 4, ha..who knows. So it's the dawn of realization that I'm no longer getting younger but older. This is fine by me but I hate the thought that I won't be looking as youthful as I did before. But then again, back when I was in my twenties, people thought I was in my LATE twenties which of course made me work extra hard to do something about my weight and personal appearance. When you look frumpy, people have the tendency to add years to your age.

To be honest, I have not received any presents yet but my two good friends, who plan my birthday every year (Thank You!) have planned something for me this Saturday. This involves...get this..KARAOKE! It is one of my favourite activities! Too bad it can't be enjoyed all the time but singing isn't my passion so I probably be bored to death if I keep on singing.

Moving on...

My colleagues celebrated my birthday early with a birthday cake! It was during the September holidays where the kids at my school took a week's break before returning to school for the final term. We had a lunch session co-organized by my Vice Principal and my manager (she's fierce but she's appreciative of us all). I didn't take any pictures knowing how my phone's camera quality sucks but my colleagues managed to snap some pictures of me when the presented me with a cake. 

The cake was yummeh.

So here's some photos of the surprise birthday celebration. Sorry it's all me :p

Graduation Parade on 08 Sep 2016 at Sembawang Camp

Image
After 9 weeks, my brother finally graduated after 9 weeks of vigorous training (and of coz, being fed good food) where he spent his week days and Sunday in camp answering to the call of duty. He is still serving NS but now is going to posted to a camp where he will be performing his vocation which is as a transport operator. I still can't believe this guy can drive now although he's still learning but you gotta hand it to him for bravely driving on Singapore road but of course with a lot of nervousness and he had no choice anyway, haha.

From the first time we found where he would be going, which was being posted to Tekong, there were a lot of emotions, well at least on my mum's part, and my brother who kept it to himself and didn't really want to talk about it, to him receiving his beret and meeting new friends.

We had to get used to him not being around except for weekend and we still go out on Saturday, except for the weekend where he had his very first book out, where…

Rediscovering Writing & Cutting Down My Reliance On Social Media

I started writing again in my journal when I came across an old notebook where I did some creative writing and then reminisce about the time I didn't have any internet at home. I didn't even have a computer. At some point, I did have and back then was the dial up internet, lol. But it was still a form of entertainment, at a much slower speed, haha.

Anyway, I was also thinking how simpler life was back then and how less dependent we were on our phones and the internet. So I relied on writing and there was no online journal so I wrote inside my notebooks. Honestly it was quite embarrassing reading through them but these pages shaped my world back then.  I stopped writing for quite a while this year because I didn't feel like it. It's also as though I'm repeating myself. I would say that I promise to do this or that but never seem to come around and do something progressive. I feel as though I reset my life so many times without any much progress. So perhaps I would ta…

Leading an Honest Living..Even When Things Get Difficult Financially

My brother lectured me recently about how I'm so calculative and why after so many years, we are still poor. I can't answer him because I can't argue with him that we're still so poor with little savings to get by. Basically I don't like to lead a pay to pay type of lifestyle and I prefer getting a second income. I want to be able to spend without too much worries about how little I will have after I spend on this or that. He's right about the calculative part. I tend to use my phone calculator and do a check on how much balance I have left if it's able to last me until the next week or so. 

Honestly  I don't like this. What I like is earning money, even in small amounts each..to me, a little goes a along way. Of course I don't mind having more but this is as much as I can do with what little capital I have which mostly come from my pay. 

Now I am not going to discuss about my financial situation as it can be a tad boring to talk about as it's mor…
