As planned, some of us headed down to Sentosa on Wednesday after lessons, since class ends at 1pm. The sun in the early afternoon is usually strong. SoonWee (the sunny boy) is down with flu, thus the sky was dark and seemed like the rain will pour anytime. Thomas ensured us that the sun will be strong. So, we followed his decision to continue with the plan.
Reached Siloso Beach, but the sky was still dark. Sadly, it began to drizzle after 30mins (we were playing frisbe). An unsuccessful day of tanning!
Shall go for tanning again soon.
They're suggesting this Saturday, but i'm not too sure yet.
Suppose to go for prawning with the usuals tmr in the evening. However, I will have to give that a miss. Kinda tight with my cash flow.
Why students like me have to struggle with financial needs? Sigh. It's kinda tough for me to struggle both work and studies together. Look at the amount of time spent in school. It's usually half of the day, as late as 8:30pm! And I have to fook out time to work.
Sometimes, I will just break down real hard. Thinking of the amount of responsibilities I have to handle now and in future, it's gonna be hard on me.
I realized that my parents had put me into the working society at a very young age. Right after N & O levels, I worked full-time at Bits& & Pieces. Till I entered poly, I still worked there part-time. Until December last year, then I got out of there and I have been experiencing differnet job environment and scopes, both at International Financial Services and Beautti Slim.
From all these, I have learnt that money isn't easy to earn. And I have learnt to control my expenses. (Now it's way better! It was horrendous last time. I can spend $200 in a shopping spree. I wonder where I got that amount of money.)
I've read Malvin's blog, and agreed with him totally that Singapore is a fast paced country. Think of how many times do your family gather at the dining table and have dinner together, except CNY? I can't remember mine. The only time will be CNY, i guess. Everyone in my family is out in the working society, thus our schedule don't meet at all. When I was younger, I always don't like having dinner at home, and prefer having dinner with friends outside. But now, how i wish mummy will cook as often. (not that she don't cook now, but it will be once a week or something.)
Be happy that you don't have to work while studying.
Be happy that you can spend a lot of time with your family members.
Additionally, my mum is bugging me to take up driving lessons. I failed my basic once, and I felt lazy to take the test again. Since i don't drive and brother is always using the car, why bother? But no! She wants me to drive. I think she wants to make use of me to drive her to work, market and etc. Haha. So, mas is going to accompany me to book a test date for my btt again tmr. I wish that I could pass this time round! (Don't believe those who said that it's easy. You gonna study for it! I believed them, and really didn't touch the book.)
Now, it's amazingly 2:40AM and i'm still awake. Ahhhhhhh!
School, school and school. Project deadlines to meet. Some much tutorials (like nobody's business!). All the pimples coming out (due to PMS & stress).
My mood totally changed while typing this entry. *SIGHHH*
I seriously need to go.
Ciao.
