Been rather busy these past few days, which is an irony, because this whole week I'm relatively free. Haha. Oh well, time to stay at home and do something about my study room.
Quite liked last week, met up with a long-time-no-see friend, then watched fireworks two days in a row, and then watched a stand-up comedy--Broadway Beng! That comedy was darn funny, well worth the amount of money paid..it's more for people who is very hokkien-inclined, because he speaks in Hokkien, English and Chinese. Ah beng must speak Hokkien one ma, if not how can call ah beng right?
Yuppers~! So last week was fun. Fireworks were breath-taking!! Before that was desperate to find someone who can go watch with me...haha...because I don't think a lot of people are actually that interested in fireworks lor. Must squeeze with all those kiasu people, must tahan all the sweaty clothes, things like that. Haha. But I managed to grab my jie mei out with me! Who happened to be on off that day. Yayyy.
I feel like I'm getting claustrophobic these days. So duh. Because suddenly I am realising that I don't have any space to put all the things I buy. Even though I managed to throw away a few bags of stuffs, I STILL have many things lying around. Geez. And my remaining things are unthrow-ables, because I love them and I want to keep them. Hence the lack of space.
Right now I am refraining from shopping till I get everything cleared. Which is almost impossible because my house is so small, my room is so small, cupboards which I can call my own are limited. Geez. And once again, I feel like getting a place of my own...if not for just staying out, it's more for storing my things. Haha. I so want to move out so that I can have some space to store my things.
Did consider renting, but it's out of the question because I don't want to move in and out...and if I rent, there will be a lot of restrictions on what I can do and what I can't. So. The best way is to make sure I buy. And then I can do whatever I want to my house. I'm excited just thinking about that!!
But first, I must have loads of money lor. So I'm giving myself the max of 5 years to get my own condo. Haha. Nothing big, a 1-room condo will do. So it won't be too big or too small. And it has to be a condo because it cannot be a flat lor. Our dearest HDB doesn't allow a single person to buy their own flat before they turn 35. Geez. I hope I don't have to wait until 35. And anyway. I don't want a 3-room or 4-room flat. So big for what?!
So first, I must learn how to grow my money. It's like planting a seed and hoping it will bear fruits. 5 years later. :) Been reading some books, and I came across this book by Adam Khoo. Teaches you how to manage your money. Bottom line is, if assets and liabilities can cover for each other, your savings can grow.
Next I want to read about is buying shares. :) This "buffetology" book...he speaks about reading up on the companies you are interested in. This is to make an informed choice. If you can make an informed choice based on what you have read, then you can definitely put your money into the company. Hmmm....sounds like a tall order~! But I'll come to that later.
Anyway. I have suddenly became an avid reader of books. And worse thing is, I've been buying books. As if I'm like...rich?! Haha. I just buy because I think it will be a good keep. Have bought two books, both by Mitch Albom. This was based on someone's recommendation. But I haven't read it yet. Oh well.
Another recent splurge? How to Walk in High Heels. Hahaha. This book is not a novel, it ought to be called a self-help book. Ok, I think I'm interested in self-help books these days. I once came across this book called "The Surrendered Single". Haha. Sounds so sad huh. But it's interesting. That's because it actually covers quite a bit on ladies who probably have a lot of hang-ups on themselves or those who want to seek for someone and yet doesn't seem to make it. Or it's relevant to me, who found someone suitable but he thinks otherwise.
There you go. Women have so much problems that there are tonnes of self-help books just targeted at women alone. Haha. But do we all need self-help books in order to seek happiness and contentment? Of course not la. If we all need such books, then psychiatrists/matchmakers/whoever will be out of business already. The only thing we need, is the correct mindset. Once the brain can identify the right mindset, everything else will just click into place. Easy? Easier said than done. But it's not that all difficult either.
One good news though. My acne is clearing up at long last. I am so happy~! It was real bad during the Apr-May-June-July era, that someone was consistently reminding me of my bad skin. *sobs* But it's looking ok now, just scars which I think should fade soon, and so I just need to stick to my regime everyday! I think the only reason why it faded, it's thanks to the Borage Oil I took. Hmm. Strange huh. Borage Oil is pretty same as EPO. But! I broke out after eating EPO....pretty badly in fact. And then after I switched to Borage Oil, it cleared.
Auntie says it's due to the imbalance amount of hormones that EPO introduced into my body, that's why my outbreak. She recommended eating 4 EPO capsules...to which I nearly fained. 4 a day?! That's crazy. The EPO capsules darn big lar...I hated the swallowing sensation. Luckily I gave all of them away instead and bought Borage Oil. Ha ha.
I read up quite a bit on both oils. Think I will reserve it for another day. :P
Contemplating to go for another BW again. Ha ha. I shall give it another week and think about it 1st. :p
