living within my means

gosh, i so want to blog i.e. write but i dunno what to write.

i am actually drowning in piles of exam papers. it started last week with the trial. then suddenly, we have to conduct more tests for pre-exam candidates. more markings lah! luckily i have more free time as classes are cancelled hence i can sit home in the afternoon to mark.

i would rather spend it having a massage of course, but....work comes first.

i am so thankful that i have my aunt's sony vaio notebook to use too ;) it is so convenient because i can use it to play cafe world. haha...i can never be separated from the game. so now i don't have to depend on borrowed laptop. i am still saving for my macbook.

save, save and save. that is all i am thinking. live within my means.....although that macbook purchase is quite out of my means right? it is a 'wish-list item' ;)

talking about saving, am quite conscious nowadays about saving from all aspects.

save electricity usage. the electricity bill in the house has increased by about 10% from what i used to pay. we have no additional electrical items but still the bill increases. so nowadays, i unplug everything not in used. after boiling water, i take off the plug. so there is no plug attached to the power point in the house. hahaha....obsessed.

i also have no water heater here and i do not switch on the air-conditioner. i changed to a lighter and thinner blanket hence i don't need the air-cond.

today 2 colleagues asked me for opinion on purses and wallets. wakaka....one asked if i shop overseas all the time. gosh, the way she asked the question made me feel so much like a shopaholic. anyway, she was thinking of buying gucci purse so i gave her the websites where she could get some ideas on the models and prices. i am always ready for shopping ideas.

it is ok for working ladies to get their designer wallets but definitely not for school-going students. and i also cannot stand those kids with their smart phones that range from rm1500 and above. how are they going to survive in the working world next time? their pay of rm2000 a month will definitely not be enough to support their lifestyle.

ok...reality check. get back to work and go for my jog after that. lead a healthy lifestyle. eat healthily, do everything in moderation. don't get sick, so save on medical bill.

don't be easily influenced by all the colourful and tempting advertisements. have fun in life.
