.........................................................................................................until....................................................
this morning...voila! i know what motivates me and what i want to do! i want to earn lots and lots and lots of money and be financially secure. am i pathetic or what? i am 100 and 1 percent submerged in this materialistic world. i don't have a spouse or child to 'jaga' at home. i am still free to do what i want and go where i want.
some call money the root of all evil, i call money my motivator.and then, another light bulb lit in my head....i want to travel the world and the seven seas. well, it is not a secret right....i am sure everyone has this dream. but right now, the place i wanna go to is shanghai world expo 2010. did you see the opening ceremony on tv? i caught a glimpse on the news and i was blown away. I WANT TO GO!! this june i am going to guangzhou for 6 days but i am most prob in guangzhou for a day only. am planning to fly to guilin for 3 days since it is only an hour's flight away.
but shanghai....world expo. and i sold the idea to dad....and yes, i have got a travel partner. dad is very very very keen to go. i can go for 11 days in september. have to start checking all info about the expo, ticketing, flight, accomodation, etc. the cheapest flight so far is from airasia which is about rm1300. expensive hor? and that flight is to hangzhou...have to take a shuttle bus which is 3.5 hours to shanghai. air asia does not fly there.
anyone happens to have an extra room in shanghai? lodging in shanghai is generally more expensive than other chinese cities. 3-star hotel is enough lah. i am planning to buy 7-day standard admission ticket for the expo. so i will only be going to the expo first thing in the morning and only leaving when the expo closes. there will be 1 or 2 extra days for sight-seeing. well, i have been to shanghai, but not dad.
wa....i am talking as if all the preparations are already made and i am 100% heading there. keep my fingers crossed and yours too for me ok? anyone want to join??? dad is planning to ask his friend and i should find a partner too if he has one. i found an online agent which sells ticket to the expo. so that is settled. going to set my mode into "money making machine" this year.
oh, let me share this ugly sight with you....
picture of one of my right toes..........without part of its nail. it is not painful at all cutting the nail because it has totally got itself unattached from the skin. i guess this is a result of wearing right fitting show.......especially those pointy ones. well, the price of vanity of course. i still wear my sneakers to work but sometimes, when the feet are back to its normal self, you do have the urge to parade those feet of yours in dainty lady-like footwear right? reminder now, wait till all the nail has grown back to its place before wearing those kind of shoes again.oh, i wonder how long we should keep our credit card billings. they send you the statements every month and i do file them....but i asked myself, 'why do i file them?' i check my bill online and i do it punctually. everytime i refer to the statements, they will just remind me of my shopping habit. hahaha....so are they reminders to us to be more frugal? i have decided to only keep statements dated all the way to 2 years ago. the rest, into the recycle bin.
the home pc is kicking up a fuss. it will shut down if i leave it idle....for how long i dunno. dang!! the beeping sound will come after it shuts down. bro said the blue screen will come out too. hmhh....... previous experience with the notebook, blue screen problem occurs when you do not shut down your computer properly and the settings are not saved. i am counting down to the days when i need to send the pc to be formatted or repaired.
ok...have to go down to finish my saturday papers. been here for a while surfing for info about the expo. lunch was in front of pc too. please dun shut down after this.

I think, once in a while, it's good to look at life a day at a time. Trying to look into a 10 year future can be quite scary and sometimes off putting. Thing is, anything can happen anytime. Who's to say you're not going to win the lottery when you get a ticket next or win some fantabulous prizes from winning a few competitions. Life is full of surprises as it is.
By the way, a trip to China sounds nice, hor! With our two very young kids, travelling has to be put on halt for a while. Well, a while can be a long time actually!!
love the comment on winning lottery. let us both keep our fingers crossed. i get the right numbers and can travel the world.
and you also get yours and do whatever you want with your hubby and kids. pray pray
