Here it comes... again...

I was just begining to wonder why my last 2 blog fail...
Then i remember the time i spent on gaming =P

Anyway, its bout now where my annual 'B'day luck begin...
Just bout 1 week before my birthday, i'll be struck with major rotten luck, increasingly rotten and numbers by the day...

Or maybe its just me thinking too much again...

Oh well... i'm trying not too think too much this year since its suppose to be a special year for me, my 21st birthday...
But can't help explain:
Caught by commander early in morning,
Miss bus home,
major screw up in parade,
stomach ache for 3hours,
adeptor for my portable hard-drive blow up when my com is running low on space...

Then again, i could be thinking too much...

Not my day... Or is it?

Ever have one of those days when you just told yourself that you really REALLY shouldn't spend anymore and the item which you have been searching for the longest time pop outta no where, and to make the matter worse, it on limited stock and 1/2 price too...

And to think i was hoping i can actually save bit more this month...

At least i won't be spending anymore for awhile...
Don't think there's anymore games i want...


... i hope...


And so today's update:

Spend: 25 for 2nd-hand NDS game, 223.82 bills, 14 for movie ticket, 4.90 for nacho set, 20 farecard, 10 girlfriend's farecard, 14.80 girlfriend's book, 2 for comic, 15.70 lunch, 39.90 for 'Lost' game No.2...

Balance is the key...

Balance... To achieve enlighten in life, one must achieve balance in life...
I think...?

The one such balance in which i myself tends to lose is my control in money...
Sure, by now you should see that under normal circumstance i'm a really thrifty person who won't spend much on unnecessary (i hate spelling this word) item...
But as soon as i got the spare cash, i always seems to went on a spending spree, spending over 300 bucks in a blink of an eye... Well, considering the price of the games i buy, 300 really is quite a good bargan already but still... i really should stop spending this month...


At the mean time, seems like my friend and my girlfriend's friend(s) is having some rough time in their relationship (2 different story mind you)... Not too sure what went wrong with my friend side, but as for my girlfriend's friend(s)...
How should i put it?

Girls are creatures that live for attention... Which explains the fact they took so much time and effort to dress up... And being a boyfriend mean you gotta be ready to accept the fact that she's gonna demand quite alot of your attention on her...
Be it reasonable or not, you just gotta give her or she will find one way or another to steal it from you... From purposely calling you in the middle of your favourite world cup match to dragging you out on a date when you suppose to be having a guys-night-out... Commo guys, you know what i mean, we all been through such things...

Anyway, the problem with my girlfriend's friend(s) is that (to the best of my knowledge so far), girl demand guy attention more than the guy can give, guy demand his life back from her, they break up, girl till now still pestering guy to meet up or "just be friend", guy use harsh words (but no vurgarity).

I must admit something before i go on any further or it'll seems all so unfair to the other guys...
I'm born the only child in the family and i grew up in an adult environment where i'm force to be independent at a very young age with little attention from parent nor any relatives. Being a gamer/computer geek gimme a natural Reverse magnet againist all girls thus i've always been dying for girls attention (which is really very sad). So when my girlfriend comes along and ask for all the attention she want, i'm just too happy to give her all i can provide (till a point she actually find me too irritating, nevermind that).

The point is, girls by natural thinks and worry at least twice as much as an average guy in relationship wise... Their very insecure over their place in OUR heart and no amount of flattery, assurance nor quarrel will ever calm their poor souls down. So guys, what i urge you all to do is to do yourself and your girls a favor, give them what they want. Don't wait, find excuses or pretend you never hear her. That few minutes of attention (ok, sometimes maybe few hours) will make her day and whatever left of time will be yours to keep.
Patience is the key, so don't expect miracle the moment you start this, she may actually get more anxious with the sudden change of attitude. Balance out your work and the time you spend on her, baby steps at a time, slowly but surely, she'll realise the effort you put in and she'll definately appreciate you more for it...

I really talk too much today...

'Edge-Oh-Tee'...

I'm a Leo, and for those who know astrology well, they would know i'm of fire element... And being fire element, for a some reason i'm naturally more resistance to heat than anything else...
(or maybe its just some lame excuse... Oh nevermind...)

But today...

Damn the weather is HOT!!!

The sun really show no mercy today, blazing up the whole of national stadium like a gaint oven...
Quite a few people almost fainted...

And of course, with weather like this, its the convinent shop holders' happiest day... Selling a small cup of diluted coke for 2 bucks...

Not sure if i can stand the temptation myself... But its a good thing i refuse to bring my wallet =P

Day of rest...

Well, what was suppose to be one of my usual weekend turns out shorter than expect... Thus giving me more time for myself...

Come to think of it, my usual weekend are always spend with my girlfriend... Not that i'm complaining bout it... Guess i could use a little time of my own... Just that things doesn't feels the same without her around and moreover, with the miserable 2 days off from camp per week, its already tough enough not being with her as offen as i should be...

I guess thats what i like bout my girlfriend the most... She really understanding towards my situation and of course being able to withstand my qurky temper as well as me being over paranoid...

People 1st impression on my 4-years-younger-than-me girlfriend is always that i've cheat her into this relationship or something like that... Or basically i'm just purely desperate...
The truth is that... Over the years we've been thru together, i've watch her blossom, slowly but steadily, into a beautiful fine young lady... Though being a girl she ocassionally brings up her temper and so... But still...

That's what i like her bout her... My kitty =3

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:

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...

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...

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:

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...

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:

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...

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...

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

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)
