I AM SICK

AGAIN.

Yes dammit. Sick again. Ugh my throat feels clawed out and raw.. My cough can only described as body-wracking... hahah i made that up lol. But it's really quite uncomfortable coz my whole body clenches.. and a couple of times, my stomach decided to go along and clench, mimicking that of vomiting (thank god my stomach was empty) and each time that happened I had stupid tears leaking out of my eyes.

That would show me NOT to wait 5 frigging days before going to the doc. -.-'' Still wanna act strong.. like my body can take it. My body is weak =/

I had to take MC today sighhh. I couldn't not do it coz i knew the cough was too severe already. It would scare all my colleagues lol. I sound like I'm on my deathbed.. Not to mention the fake vomiting. =/ So one precious day of my 3 days of leave gone. It's only the 2nd month I've started working.. I hope this doesn't happen anytime soon. =X

I got my first payslip last week. The feeling that I'm finally earning some income instead of leeching off my parents is pretty awesome. =D

That said... It's only half a month's pay. Minus away CPF and it's really not much. =/

I've planned it out already. The month of Feb would be dedicated to bringing my friends out to eat. =) friends who have been there for me and supported me when I was down and out. Be it financially or emotionally.. I am so thankful to have such friends in my life.. Even tho I know I sometimes have a shoddy way of showing appreciation. =/

Feb's pay would go to taking these such friends out for meals.. And then March and April's will go to getting a new laptop. I've borrowed Tom's one for eonssss and he has been so nice to lend me his for such a long time. Only after that would I start consistently putting money aside to save up.

I went for an extravagant zi char dinner last night. $24 per pax... super ouch i tell you.. I mean normal zichar is like ~$15. Max also about ~$17. Super heart pain. And I commented next time can we don't eat so extravagantly? and they were like huhhh this got extravagant meh? I don't get it.. Both of them have allowances $500 and less per month. How does a dinner of $24 not qualify as extravagant?

Have I really changed so much? I guess the lack of money really changes you. It teaches you to be frugal and every cent is hard earned. I know I spend money on clothes.. Seemingly frivolously. But I still keep within certain limits and cut back on other things like eating $2 cai fan for lunch in Golden shoe (heehee) and taking the train/bus instead of cab no matter how tired I am.

$24 could buy me 12 lunches at Golden shoe! It would feed me for 2 weeks! I just cannot get over that fact - that I spent $24 for a meal that was ok-not-bad.. that would have made me equally happy with my $2 meal from golden shoe. =/

JB Seafood

Before gc left, he organised a trip to JB for a bit of shopping and seafood dinner. The turnout was super good, 13 people came! The trip was pretty normal (ie fun for jb) except for the fact that Justin, Azrul and Alvin's cab got lost and they walked around aimlessly for a full half an hour. I was SUPER DUPER worried and imagining the worst!! X_X

Luckily they were fine *phew*

Anyway.. Peektures!

On the way! Egggcited!
