Got my bio back yesterday and I am pleased to say that God has indeed blessed me and been with me. I got 2 As and 3 Bs for terms which I am very satisfied with.

My dear friend Wei Xian seems to have his life's journey mapped out, or rather things he hopes to accomplish. I am not so farsighted. But one thing I do aim to do as of now is to stop being so spoilt in financial/material terms. Having started "earning" from teaching drums I suddenly feel the pressure of working/adult life. The minute I got "paid" I had to give up the money to pay for overdue bills and such. Hence from now on I will stop thinking in terms of like Chinese new year money or pocket money but really what can I afford if I was earning, if I had to pay all of my own bills. Obviously the amount I get would be insufficient but it's just the mindset to prepare me for the day when mom and dad aren't gonna be paying for my lunch and dinner. So reality strikes, I'm still a kid earning close to nothing, I should not be spending more than some fresh grads and stuff who earn 3k a month. The only thing I'm going to let myself spend on is food. Today I spent $10 on lunch. If that person making 3k a month (which is already quite high right in average person terms) were to spent that amount a week, that would be close to 7% on one meal alone. Dinner is usually more expensive --> say 17% of monthly income spent on food. Then transport maybe another $4 a day. The point is, I am spending way beyond my means.

Congratulations to Sandra and the girls polo team for winning today.
