its been……
1) lost my thumbdrive on last friday by happily leaving it at the computer terminal in central lib. it wld cost like $30, about 5 days of normal meals, to replace another 4gb one.
2) went to try my luck at Lost n Found corner in central lib, found my thumbdrive! but library staff was so AP.
3) Found a new part-time job as translator for a company. this means $ for grad trip is rolling in.
4) lost my ezlink card- yes the new cepas one- on a cab after family dinner. now i have to spend my first month pay on replacing it. i dont want to spend that money but if i dont get concession, then my transport costs will escalate even more!! :S n i have to go to choa chu kang mrt with a new photo n pay admin fees of $30.
5) really interested in the shanghai world expo volunteer thing after attending it with shi zhen on THURS. but if i go for that AND hongkong/korea grad trip, my money expenses doesnt allow me to go for the dec xiamen trip with my chinese major friends. i did a comparison of friends n decided that i still love my old friends more.
6)i dont understand why i always dont have enuff money despite working damn hard during the holidays. n now, even working during sch time will only give me barely enough for grad trip n shanghai world expo trip.
7) im saving up. but my microsoft word crashed. i need to get new microsoft word 2007 professional but it cost $300-$500. im not paying for that. im using my bro’s old laptop’s microsoft word to type the freaking essays.
i think the world is unfair. why do some ppl not need to work n can get everything they want, while some of us need to slog our lives to get anything. i cant even ask my parents to pay my trips or ask them to get me new laptop or ask them to get me microsoft office
9)this money issues is making me very jealous of some ppl. im also angry when ppl suggest things without a budget.
10) in our chinese major friends weekly friday treats, 2 of us told 1 of us that we r on budget n cant have a expensive meal. but she said lets go eat thai food as she dont feel like eating anything else. she was in a bad mood, so we gave in, thinking that thai express shld be affordable. instead, she went into this “thai accent” restaurant in vivocity n the meal came up to $30 for nothing.
11) finally, sylvia made my week a lil better when she treated me to a complimentary belly dance class at AMORE- ladies gym at Park mall. we decided that we would wan to go for dance classes when we start working.
