work to be poor..

when i was a student;

  1. i spent without worries cox i have my parents n ptptn
  2. i watch movies every weekend cox i have my student card with me..the cinema is not always packed and the q on weekdays is forever shorter than weekend..
  3. i sing "K" whenever i feel like it, cox lunch K is always the best!!
  4. i travel all the way to sunway to have steamboat jus bcox of the to-die-for-chicken wings..okok i admit the leng chai boss's son too hehehe
  5. i can plan for holiday with family, bf n frens...i have all the annual leaves that i wan..
  6. i can ponteng class whenever i feel too sleepy..
  7. i have the latest mobile hp (though not the most expensive n high-tech one)..yet i can afford to change it as i wish
  8. i walked into a shop, promoters look up upon me bcox they know students are rich, student can spend..student wil spend jus to have fun..
  9. when i buy clothes displayed under discounted area, promoters feel fine cox we r students..discount is meant to help us the "poor but actually rich" students..
now that i am working;
  1. i spent within my budget (though still exceed abit) but i did keep reminding myself that i have to spend wisely ..
  2. now that i am working, i missed out a lot of movies simply bcox i can't afford to go for a RM 10-RM12 per show every weekend compared to Rm 6 student price..moreover, the q is soo long during weekend..
  3. when was the last time i sing K since i work?weekend K is soooo expensive...
  4. when was the last time i have steamboat at sunway, now that i am staying so far away..
  5. the only holiday that i am planning for is the one when i have saved enough money and my holidays is restricted to "annual leave"..but guess it'l b realli far ahead from now..
  6. since working, i had officially broke off with "ponteng"...
  7. damn, the secondary boy sitting next to me has the latest nokia while me?? aiks..mine dun even have infra-red...
  8. i walked into a cake shop @ times square hotel, bloody idiot thought i wanted a discount on a discounted cake simply bcox i flashed my jusco card to collect points! damn u, u think i can't afford to pay??? damn insulting.
  9. promoters do not think i am entitled to discount products simply bcox i am an working adult...fuck u! then, dun display them under "S-A-L-E"!!! i hate those glances..
i realli wonder, i am working, i am suppose to b richer but how come i seems to be poorer than ever?

there seems to be so many things that i need to pay for..room rental, transports, foods, clothes, make-ups, facial care,bags, shoes, etc etc.... luckily there's no car loan, house loan, insurance (yet) worse still, every month, i will "phor choi"..guess the more u care about yr money, the faster it will go away...damn!

i miss being a student..a rich one in fact..

p/s: ain't very lucky since i move to cheras..lady luck pls come bk to me~~~
gotta clean my fish bowl this week, gotta rearrange the fengshui in my room...

  10. Working life is totally different life compared to student life. As u mentioned, we need to pay for everything for our own. Coz we are working adult, not spoon feed anymore. We have to manage our own $ to spend it wisely & worth it.

    Tash, dont need to brood over it. Ever since I came to Singapore furthering my studies, I seldom spend money. Always try to eat the cheapest meal, like economical rice. for the 5 years staying in SG, I dont watch Movie in SG. Only watch is occasionally in M'sia. At least u enjoyed your student life but I didn't. I always envy ppl enjoying student life but I just couldn't do it as I kept reminding myself about the currency to RM.

    After half year to a year, u shd have some leaves to go for tour. Make sure u plan it wisely.

    *PS* u will find even travelling also expensive to anywhere coz u are working, u cant always go on weekdays. surely u will plan to go from weekdays throughout the weekends. (this is my life as working full time & study part time)

  11. sean: hey man...guess i am very lucky at least there's no currency for me to worry about.. but again, dun worry, i still enjoy my life though am working now..

    about trip, yea perhaps after i hav saved enough, i will deffinately go though it might cost slightly more cox as u said weekends ma~ but relax still must relax, rite?! keke

    dun you work too hard too and mind too much bout the currency..sometimes u jus have to spend..hehe

    btw, thanks for dropping by :)
