Broke, sick, slept, shopped, movie

Yes, it's been a long long time since I'm this broke.
But it's all worth it for the love of the four new babies.
Each time I smell the leather, I get happy all over again.
And I'm just two weeks to pay cheque so no sweat I guess?

Yes, I've been sick for more than a week and still counting.
This virus is more stubborn than me.

The worse thing is I can only take the medicine on weekend because it made me sleep like a baby. I woke up at 12pm yesterday and 11am today and I had weird dreams in between.

But, these did not stop me from going out.
Because we had the R8 Spyder this weekend!
Both days we went to town, vrooming down Orchard Road (yesterday top down - the car, not us) pretending the car's ours, ha.
I like this year's Christmas lightings. Do you?

Yesterday's aim was to get a new phone.
The HTC died on me when I'm very broke to afford a new one.
So I got myself a BB, topping up another $100 because contract has another 10 months to go.
But guess what? Just now Mr. Grumpy tested the phone and said it's still working.
It's just that the battery was flat.
Oh well, what can I say?
I have dumb moments like this from time to time.

But I was very sure the phone's was a little cranky before it died on me lei.
It was on Thursday, after our company's Christmas party. I had 3 incoming calls, 2 outgoing, none of which we could hear each other.
The next morning, the phone was off and I overslept because the alarm didn't go off and when I tried to start it, it just wouldn't work.
Anyway, I've bought the phone so does it matter if it's working or not?
Maybe I'll sell it to get some cash to cover for the BB.

This afternoon, we went back to town to watch Rapunzel, thanks to HS' movie vouchers.
It's expiring soon and yes, I waited for almost a year!
Then to get the presents...
I finally got the 'wedding present' from my brother - a MJ watch.
Other than dinner, we paid for nothing.
I bought everything with vouchers! They are so handy when one's broke.

So yes, I'll be really broke till end of the year and if you think your Christmas present is cheap this year, that's because, well, isn't it obvious?

Hope your weekend has been a good one and you're not as broke as me :)

2016, a year to remember

June has always been my favourite month. But it didn't start off well as I had my first zero sale, boo hoo. Never mind I thought. I've had a zero, what could be worse? Another zero of course, wtf! Fast forward to June 18, the mahjong khakis celebrated my birthday and surprised me with a cake. June 19, celebrated with the in-laws and ended the night with some sinful durian. June 20. 230am. My phone rang. An unfamiliar number and I was so tired I decided to ignore it and switched my phone to night mode. 330am. Heard the phone beep. It was the FB message alert. For some strange reason, I opened my eyes to check my phone. Two missed calls from my brother and the first line of the FB message read your grandpa is in critical condition... I started shaking. Returned my brother's call and he said the same thing, proved that I wasn't dreaming. I hung up and read the FB message my uncle left me and yes it read my grandpa's in critical condition at Tan Tock Seng...

放下

2016年虽然只过了一半但我却学会和体会了很多。 二月决定放下坚守八年的工作岗位去创业。 因为薪水大减,这几个月来放下一些物质的欲望。 但也因为这份新工作放下了许多压力和不必要的公司或人事纠纷。 有时也必须放下一些不适合这行业的做法,诚恳学习这行的窍门。 六月看到爷爷安详地离去更让我体会的能够放下的人才会快乐。 我会继续努力学习放下。

Out with brother

We look alike, don't we? Something small for ourselves :) We had wanted to go to Bishan but didn't think there's much to do so we went Orchard instead. It's been a while since Mr. Grumpy dislikes going to crowded town. Was thinking hard what I wanted for my super belated birthday treat and thought of the Korean restaurant in Chinatown... So off we went. Kimchi pancake Seafood steamboat - yummy! Rice cake before & after - barely touched because we over ordered! After dinner, it was reminiscing at OG. I had a great time thanks to my brother.  More to come :)
