omg
oct $**99.84 shocking!! praying hard for uncle sam call up this coming 4 sss1 over 7 days. haha u guys can guess whats that first 2 digits.. guessed correctly can meet me for a dinner treat :D.. if i havn't spent on the macbook this month i think i'm halfway to my first landmark already.glad i had another sense inducing talk to with another senior girl.. i'm now not that dying to get a car. considering an average month with 1 or 2 long flights. considering the fact that it would be stupid to be taking a taxi when u have your own car parked at home. considering that i pay twice the amount of insurance as a 27-30 year old. even if i could well afford it. i would rather, like what she said, be happily treating once in awhile, buying drinks and making my friends happy. rather than having to disappoint an occasional ask out for a meal because i would be particularly "tight" that month having a nice car to pay for.
while my some of my peers are still in school not sure of their future, others are out working but not earning as much for a start. this is a fact. however i think i have another friend living in delusion as ever on his way to earning millions just by talking to people.
i must learn how to handle this big jump from ns days where i could survive just as well with $560 a month. it's really quite scary at times. almost got myself a gucci laptop case, lucky there wasn't the right size for my mac. i tell myself as i listened to the senior girl, coming from a management position before flying. i say i do not have a girlfriend now, no house, no commitments. why would i struggle with a car? if i want it i must do it now when i am still young. not when i'm 30 looking to settle down and start a family. a car will drop right down to the very last on my list.
she told me, soon enough i will find myself spending a fair bit of my allowances on branded goods. "once you have felt an lv, a gucci will always feel 2nd grade, but for better designs" i really couldn't relate to that phrase. never owned an lv in my life. you earn this much. you spend this much. i feel the most important is for me to know my limits and live within my means. an occasional treat for myself is fine. i'm just wondering what my next treat will be.
so many kinds of people. all earn about the same but some will scrimp and save every bit. some will splurge and say you never know what will happen tomorrow. i wonder which side am i from.
on the way home the senior guy was telling me his experiences. about his batchmates who got together after 3 days in the course. girl left guy for 2 bars who had a car. moment of anger led guy to go buy a car and now struggling. lol. so materialistic. once again confirms my perspective on some girls. senior girl tells me. it's not just here. it's everywhere! where to find the down to earth, sweet and demure girl, the perfect one. haha
just a random insulting incident shared by the senior guy. 2 bars tried hooking up this girl who was already with a blue tie. girl said no, i'm already attached. 2 bars asked who, 4 bars? girl replied no, blue tie. 2 bars tells girl "you want to travel in economy for the rest of your life?" pardon me for all the weird terms. but i think you guys know what i'm talking about.
had 2 girls from la mer in my zone on the way home. one was really pretty! the other played cooking mama on her ds like a mad woman. job opportunities are everywhere when you work in this line. when you meet high ranking people in big companies. it is always good to talk with them. get to know more. you never know when your day might come with a little help from these people. this the super nice puple tie told me. good pattern on the whole. so much more to share but if i go on this post will never end. =)
