The money i earn...

Sigh... Tried ways to earn a little side cash but in the end...

Let see... 1st of all, some strange surge of current blow up my NDS charger and whole row of power source near my bed... Not mentioning to inconvinent it cause, it cost me 15 bucks to buy a new charger as well...

I found this great site way i can download old classic games from the past console... The problem is you gotta give as much as you leech... Or you'll be baned... Either that or donate 35 bucks to them... I don't much time nor stuff to donate... Care to guess which i choose? (Ans below...)

There goes most of what i manage to earn apart from my salary...

Sigh... Can't wait for my bonus next month...


And so today's update:


Spend: 15 for charger (haven't pay yet =p), 35 for membership fee, 3 for 'the great escape'...
Save: 35 for extra duty, 28 from the M1 top up card i buy for my friend last time...
Wallet: 20
Coins: 2.65
Current Bank: 250++ (?)
Saving Bank: 2500
Saving (2): 500

Little left...

Sigh... Well, Just as i predicted... For one reason or another, i'll only have 200++ left in my bank by the end of the month... It so true its almost sad...

Really starting to get tired of life in Navy...
Not really regreting it since joining it clear off my mom's debt and keep me finacially independent... But still... With so much of my time being waste away in stuff which i didn't choose to do... It really sucks...

The worst part is that i can only make my way outta here earliest in 2011... Should i go get a degree, i'll only be out at an age of at least 28... Shouldn't that be bout the time i get married instead of looking for new job? Sigh...

Sigh... Maybe i just think too much...


And so today's update:

Spend: 5.30 for lunch...

Sizes of the hole...

Haven't spent this much in one day since i bought my com...

The morning were spent 1st to get a trolly from a old classmate Debra... Amazingly she gonna get married soon... We couldn't be happier for her...
Then straight down to my girlfriend's place by cab to get the tv...
Was seriously wondering if the tv would fit in the cab... End up got another friend, Darius, to have his dad with his pick-up truck to send us back to my place...
After the tv's safe and sound in my place, off to causeway point to give the guys a treat at Sakae Sushi...

So all and all todays expences is bout...

370 bucks...


Well, at least my bills for the month is dealed with...

Btw, Thanks alot guys! Really dunno what i'll do without your help... Really appreciate it all =>


Sigh... Can't wait for the next pay already...


And so today's update:

Spend: 100 for tv, 73 for breakfast and lunch, 191.29 for phone + internet bills and 10 for my farecard...
Save: Err... Consider how much this tv used to cost... Nevermind...

All in the TV...

Well, I've always been looking for a small size tv to fix all my games on to it in my room... But what i didn't expect is that i'll end up getting a 36" tv...
The price? Before that, let me first tell you how i even got it...

After the 2 weeks holiday/visiting in china, my girlfriend's mom reach home only to find the tv not working... Upon coming with the conclusion that the 10yrs-old tv is broken (even though they just send for repair a few months ago), the family went to order a new tv that night... Only to found out the next day that they forgot to turn on the power source...
Well, they came to a decision to sell the tv and the only buyer her mom can find offer a BIG FAT...

Get this: 50 bucks

Now, under normal circumstance, just bout anyone after hearing this will say:
"50 buck!? i'll buy it for a 100"...

... And that how i get a 36" tv for a 100 bucks...

Will be getting it tommorrow, with help from a good old friend of mine, William (A.K.A. Wai Lun, your the man dude =>)

Well as good as it all sounds, i don't think i'll use it for myself... It's a tad too big for my room... And beside, the 40+"-15yrs-old tv in my parent's room is turning funky this days... Keep switching between colour to black and white...
Well, at least now they can't say i didn't do anything for them...


And so today's update:

Spend: 4.80 for a spare crest for my beret,1 for a can of drink...
Save: 20++ (manage to hitch a ride home from a friend instead of hiring a cab...)

Note: All first entries of the weekend refers to all the spending for the whole week in camp...

2 Weeks away...

Boy... It sure rains alot today...

Finally... My girlsfriends back from visiting her father whose working in China...
The 1st date with her after 2 whole week...
Nothing much here for you guys to know =P

Anyway, while things are up in my girlfriend side, my home side seems to be sliding quite seriously...
My mom just quit her day job in a clinic... Appearantly its getting a tad too hectic for her...
The place require her to work 9 to 9, 6 days a week... Commo, my mom's already in her mid 40s... She should be thinking bout retiring instead... Besides, she got bad knee... Can't stand too long...

Well, easier said than done... If she should really retire, that would only mean i gotta bring home more dough... And frankly speaking i ain't earning that much so...

Sigh... And now she's currently down with some illness...
What am i to do...

And so Today's update:

Spend: 12 for lunch for 2, 2.65 for a ultra fine pen (0.18mm)

Heavy dinner...

And so today's father's day...
I've never know what to get for him on special event even till now...
So the best and easiest solution?
Treat him to a dinner...

But seriously, for mom, its all thoughts that counts... My mom is no exception... A simple card or any small gift will please her no end...

But dad... Let's face it... We're all guys... We prefer something solid, something of use, something which won't end up in the storage where it may never see daylight again... I mean, i understand it's the thoughts that counts but if people were to really put some thoughts to it, you think they'll really buy some stuff which he may never use as a gift?

So much for that... I still have his birthday to crack my head for...

And so Today's update:

Spend: 42.50 for dinner

As the weeks goes...

Just when i thought i finally manage to made some saving... My friend have to ask me to help buy a 28 buck M1 top up card...

Hmmm... Thinking bout quiting my RO soon... I love the game but... Leeching me 38 per month is well... Kindda rough for me...
Besides, i could jolly well use the money to go buy me a real game anyway...

Speaking of real game... I haven't buy and new game since... Feb i think...
sigh...

Must control... Gotta save up some cash for my girlfriend's birthday...


And so Today's update:

10 bucks worth of weekends...

Being bound in the Navy means the rules is law... Another words, the hair must go or the weekends is yours...
Well, at least its not to the extence of BTM style but it still cost me 10 (somewhere there...) bucks per trip to the barber...

Speaking of barber, i only go to MALAY barber... For a good reason too... Chinese barber just don't seems to work well on my curly hair... It always turns out too angular or just a mess...

Hmmm... The bank still haven't draw the 500 to my savings... Oh well...

When acting smart goes wrong...

I guess out of the 7 deadly sins, i'm most vulnerable to 'Pride'... Which would explain why i'm paying for my girlfriend's phone bill...

Bought 2 monthly cards for my fav online game RO (ragnarok online), but accidently load up both card to only one of my account (i've 2...). Sigh... Gotta get another card...

Maybe its just me but i just don feel right to let my girlfriend or my mom to pay for my stuff.
(Dinner is an exception... My mom haven't been cooking for the last 5years... Only once in a blue moon...)

*Last minute late update*
In the end i just can't stand not having both my account running so went out to get another card... Again...
Also bought some supply home for the family... Technically just my parent since i'm the only child anyway...

And so today's update:

Spend: 120.48 on my girlfriend's phone bill, 57 on 3 monthly cards for RO, 6.10 for lunch, 5.30 for supper...

And so it goes...

Well rather than a real dairy, this is actually meant more to keep an acount on how much i'm spending and saving throughout the days...
Err... Maybe some people out there may not understand what are the difficulties i'm going through so maybe is blog might explain abit... I hope...
For a start, i'll be keeping a constant update on how much i'm spent, saved and the amount in my current and fix-saving bank account, so as to be able to evaluate my savings and spending so far... (and perhaps a record on all the gifts i've given my girlfriend so far =P)
