Wah I can't believe it, I made so much food for dinner and it only costs me about $3. Had 12 dumplings which I made myself, 11 meat/fish/sotong balls, 1 corn dog, 2 bunches of pek choi, and noodles... Damn full... and it only costs that much... Really, I'd rather eat these den spend 9 bucks outside on a bowl of pho which I'd probably won't feel as full... Just imagine that. One cheap meal outside already worth 3 home meals... So how about having a rib-eye steak, which costs $25, for dinner? That would be 4 days worth of food for me?!?!!! Thank goodness I'm not near any restaurants that serve Singapore food...

Anyway, went to US postal today and passed by this fast food called "Fatburgers". Being curious and a little craving for an American snack, I went in to take a look. As anyone who knows me might expect, I came out again without getting anything. A burger there really isn't expensive comparing to US standards. It's only $4.50. But I was really only look at something at most 2 bucks for a snack. Oh well... That's me... I don't mind paying more something that's worth it, but I really hate paying for something that doesn't justify its cost. Why pay more for something when I could make it myself, or find a substitution for it? Stuff that I admire is probably the spray painting that I got for 20 bucks, even though I am fully aware that the cost price is less than a buck!!! It's the skill I'm buying, and this can't be easily duplicated by anyone!!! Or at least, I can't do it myself.

The week has already passed without me realizing. Time really flies. It's already the weekend, and tomorrow, my furniture will be here! To think I was lamenting over how long it would be when I bought it 3 weeks ago. Now, it's here! And I wasn't really mentally prepared for it. hehe~ Really can't imagine how would it feel to lay on my bed at night. A bed, which I paid for with my money. It really is double joy. The quality of the mattress and the fact that it's truly my bed!!! Awww... My nice lil' dream catcher can finally retire...

Talking about the weekend. The weekend really feels different for a working personnel and a student. Yes, a student probably finishes the day at 3pm or sometimes 12 noon during the week, and doesn't have classes in the weekends. But is a student really free when the student doesn't have classes? I would say, at least a good, diligent and not-so-smart student isn't. In other words, I didn't. I spent almost everyday studying or working on something for somebody other than myself, like my Schoofs Competition, or for the Singapore Students Association. I didn't really have the time to truly enjoy what a real college life is, or even take a look at the apartment I lived in. Such was my college years.

But now as a working personnel, living by myself in a place where no one knows me and I know no one, I finally have the time to take a good look at my apartment, and do something truly worthwhile for myself. There's finally something which I could take pride in - my apartment, my work, my ideals. It looks like the self-confidence which I had lost over the last 3 years is finally returning again. I know it will return to me eventually, because I need it.

My ideals. Again I would tell myself, I have no time. Life is so short and there's so much I want to achieve in the short 40 years which I would be working. There really is no time to waste. Girls... I really don't see when a relationship will come and I really am not actively looking for any already. I'm getting more and more passive in this area as I shift my focus on to other things. It will come when it's time to come. I'm sure God already has things planned for me in this area. He has been really nice to me all these years, and I'm sure He will make sure I will have a nice girl to support me. Or even if God refuses to help me with this respect, I'm sure yuan yuan chun's rule-of-life will hold true... "If you have money, girls will flock to you." hahaha~ that smart alec...

Yeap, that's it for now. I'm so glad that I actually bothered to follow my own timetable and washed the bathroom today. In fact, I washed almost the entire bathroom, including the cupboard under the sink. That only shows how much I love my apartment!!! hehehe~

Back to working towards my goals. Take it easy, guys! I love all of you!

Inspiration Quotes
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
