Quotable Quotes

I saw this on Yijun's MSN nick

"Lots of people wanna ride with u in a limo, but what u want is someone who will take e bus with u when the limo breaks down..."


Very sweet quote i find. And I guess I identify with that. Cuz I want someone who is able to be with me through thick and thin.

At least I think I've found that someone....hehe

Tis done! I have ended the experiment

Apparently I could only last 1 working day on $4.

Sadz

I had a plate of unpalatable wanton noodles...$2

I was going down to meet my mom and my ACCA friends for dinner...because its their last exam. It was raining heavily, thus I shared a cab down with a fellow officer. It was raining cats and dogs, and he helped me return my pass.. I mean...we were just seated in the taxi..and he just said,"Ying Tat...give me your pass..." I gave it to him...a bit confused...and he just ran out of the taxi to return the pass. Thus I decided to share his cab burden and take cab with him to vivocity... $14 worth of cab fare...so its $7 on me...

And thus it has ended.


My mom at the end of the day...has $4 left and asked for money from my dad. He in turn gave my mom $50. Which my mom pass to me. I wanted to reject it...but I had to return him the $7. He did not ask for it...and I think he wouldn't ask for it as well...but I think...its better...matter of principle...

Well done...and now i am sick...tsk

The Secret

Today I watched a video that my sister have brought back. It was called "The Secret". Very interesting video. It essentially talks about something that I've read a long time ago.

"When you wish for something, the whole universe conspires to help you acheive it." (Or something like that...I forgot the exact quote) - Paulo Coelho The Alchemist

The video speaks about the law of attraction and how your thought influence what you get in life. If you keep thinking about how you don't have something... you will continue to not have that something whereas when you keep imagining and feel that you have something the universe will work in its mysterious ways and help you get it. Very interesting and believeable. The video says you will get what you want only if you are feeling good so even if it is not true...no harm feeling good i guess...If any of you want to see the video, I have a copy. Its about an hour + long. Quite draggy at some parts but ok la. As long as you get the message.

Which brings me to think about my past and what I have thought about in the past. I used to have a phobia that one day I would just walk home and find my wife in the bed with another man... Amazingly...it happened. I mean...I didn't walk into them but I did find out about them. I didn't wish for it...but I guess I thought much about it.

So I guess from today on I will remember to think positively and live life to the fullest. Think on the positive and what I want. But I guess I have to be careful with my wishing.

Right now... I wish that...I would have a very happy family... with 4 kids...(as the holy cow would noe why I want 4) And with Geck Woon by my side. I will imagine...in my spare time...me and her..walking hand in hand...into the dining hall both dressed in our best for our wedding. And the life after.

Ok..enough fantasizing for now... But hey..didn't they say that its the thought that counts?

2 days $0 used

Well done..

On Sunday, well, I spent the whole day in the chalet. Food and drink were readily available. Entertainment was in-house. And so I survived one day with $0 expenditure.

Monday was a bit harder. I sent off my darling at Changi Airport. No breakfast for me. So i too some left over baugettes..dunno how to spell...from last nite and ate it on the way there. Went I reached home I slept all day. And finally at night, my mom bought dinner. So there.. Another day with $0 expenditure.

I think I will go my grandma house for lunch tomorrow.

Wish me luck...

Custer's last stand -- $4 dollars left

Well folks... this is it...

I have only $4 in my wallet and another $4 in my bank... Actually I can easily get my hands on some cash. Enough for me to last the week. But at the back of my head I tell myself... I just have to see how long this last $4 will last. Its an experiment... a funny one i might add. And thinking of it makes me giggle... Perhaps when I'm really really out I will just ask my mother for a $10 bill and that would able to ease me through.

So thats $4 for...6 days. Can I survive on less than a dollar a day? Goodness...sounds like those adverts that are talking about places like Africa... Well I've got it all planned out. Sunday I'm not going to spend a single cent.. Monday too. Tuesday spent at home...Wednesday go to work...might need to spend abit there. And thursday too... Friday is the finishing point.. hahaha.

I will refrain from asking for money... I think now the hard part is not to let my family know and then they will force me to accept some money... Hmm... Lets hope I succeed!!

Fustration--Money is the root of all evil!

I feel very pathetic.

Now I have exactly $24 in my bank account with only $12 in my wallet. And I have to get a haircut tomorrow...which would cost around $8-$10. No money until 15th. I have not been so poor since my JC days... oh my god...Being this "poor" really got me thinking. Got me worried about my future. Today at least I can stay at home and wait for money to come. But in the future how? My wife...my children... nothing to eat. Being worried about what I am going to eat has gotten me fustrated enough... I can't imagine the stress when I have a whole family to feed. Oh well...hopefully my wife can support me for awhile if such things happen... but still...being accountancy-trained...i'm prudent and i think in the worst possible scenario. And it really got me scared. To not know when your next payday is...and if you can secure a stable income in the coming days...

Talking about being poor... Today my ex-wife called me and asked me about her road tax. Her road tax expires on 8th! and she still haven pay! She told me a few weeks ago that she do not have money and wanted to borrow some from me. As you can see from my situation...I do not have any! And i refused her...in the end...she din pay! Waited for her pay day in december to pay. GOODNESS! At first I smirked and thought to myself.."serves you right for not taking my advice in NOT buying the car." But the car is in my dad's name! My dad was furious when he heard and he say that he could get locked up for my ex-wife's folly. When I heard it i was so...i dont know...panic?... No money to help her pay...and I don't know what nonsense she is doing... This is what I get for being nice and letting her continue to use my dad's name for her stupid car. I hate that car. All the issues with the car...brings much hurt to me... reminds me how she refused to take my advice...rather listen to her colleagues who would not and absolutely do not have a stake in her financial wellbeing...and also all the quarrels we had when we had the car. It hurts. I hate that car... And I will never buy a car until I'm comfortable to do so...

In any case...all has been said and done... Money is the root of all evil!!!

But don't get me wrong. I'm not sad...(except when I was writing about that car....damn...i hate that car...) I'm still fat and cheerful...and happy. Because I believe that I have found someone who I can really spend the rest of my life with. BUT one problem... she going off to vietnam for 3 weeks... Haiz... no moon no cloud for 3 weeks... Hahaha.. Don't worry...just like my lack in funds...i will get by....maybe hungry most of the time...thats all...
