Slice of my mind...

It's been awhile...
Too many things happen...
Too much to do...
... Too lazy too =P

Nearly went insane last month...
The load of my work increase by 3 fold, test and inspection comes one after another, morons at work keep pushing my buttons, money running so low till i can't even afford my own birthday present without touching my savings...

And just went i finally got my pay to hold the bills back, the big 3-letter word hit me harder than i can ever imagine...
T-A-X...

Ah... My first step into reality of the working world...
Almost forgot why the hell i've put aside the whole chuck of ALL my bonus for...


Anyway, just went out for dinner with the few people onboard my ship who i'm good with for dinner. While its nice to eat out with good friends and such once in awhile, 2 things hit me... Hard...

1st of all, the guys were all discussing bout finance, money, investing, property, current rising market vs our slow pay-rise which i'm totally clueless about... While the contents is simplistic and somewhat navie to some extend, it goes to show how much they have already plan out ahead what they wanna do and what they have in mind for their future...
Regrettably, despite the lump of saving i've start as soon as i got into this forsaken place, the furthest i've ever planned is just to the end of my stay in this stump and towards university or wedding and such (which is the very reason why this blog is here is the 1st place). Meaning to say i'm not as mature as what might think...

2nd, we came to talk bout how guys usually manage their finance (especially in newly-wed days) and how it may seems to girls. A guy's usual management revolve around fulfilling his responsiblities 1st like paying bills or such and struggle to survive or save with whatever he have left. While what we guys see as being independent and responsible, girls may see as he is not able to support himself well enough for a proper meal, let long support me and my own lifestyle which i don see why i should give up just for his incompetency.

I don't know what lifestyle others lead but for me, my lifestyle is fairly simple, able to stuff myself with proper food and drink, simple leisure and entertainment of playing games and watching shows, occassional movies and buying of new games, and outing once in awhile...
All excluding bills adds up to not more than 500 per month.
I know i don't have a life to some but with this simple lifestyle i'm able to support my bills, give my parent monthly allowance, pay for my dates expences and my girlfriends bill, even saves up some money for future.


I'm not rich, but i hope i'm not incompetent...
I just wanna be 'poor-fect'...



And so today's update:

Spend: err... borrow 1500 from my saving (2) for my (pathetic) birthday and to pay my tax (a whopping 750 -_-)... The rest... never mind...
