Just let me vent and i will be fine!
Just returned from my company small scale conference. We were presented with a summary of whats the company is doing and what is the goals. After 4 years in this company that i actually got to know indepth of what my company has been doing. Not too late i suppose. They also gave us surprise on our entitlement of the special bonus on the coming month. It just come at the right time! Coz i have slightly out of control with my capital last month.Ever since i started studying, my savings has never increase. Or i should say ever since i started working. -.- My expenses is really high. Sometimes i do reward myself with a good meals like mac breakfast @ 2.50, or a good lunch at subway. Other times i just get myself cheap vegeterian rice or skip it (not very often thou). I wish i can go for a good and relexing holidays for 1-2 weeks, but everytime i checkout the flight websites, i close all in the next minute. The flights were cheap, but think of the expenses you gonna spend. Like my Hongkong trip in the beginning of this year, I barely shop. I only bought a few real cheap stuffs that makes Jas pretty uncomfortable shopping with us. I feel bad too. I really enjoyed the trips thou i am really on tight budget!
Some people thinks that i am a weird lady who are not interested in shopping. Some people thinks that i am anti-social coz they dont feel that i am happy when i am shopping. Who hates shoppings? Who dont love to buy and buy and buy? I do not have that extra cash to shop! shopping with such little money do not help in your retail therapy, it adds on more guilt to you. That's how i feel.
Furthermore, marriage is costing a bomb. $$ for ROM, $$ for bridal shoot, $$ for holding chinese dinner, $$ for flats. I have managed to get a very very tight budget for my ROM coz we when a memorable one. Thinking of the DBSS coming out next year, it requires at least 20k for cash in hand. Which means by the end of this year, I should at least saved a 10k. OMG! After all the calculation, i can only save 5k this year. I am only half there. There is no ways that Singapore pool is going to help me no matter how hardworking i have been on every Monday. Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Money is killing me.
