A BRAND NEW START
okay.. this is it. i have finally cleared up all my debts.
I paid my phone bill which accumulated up to $235 over the past few months.
And.. i paid up whatever that needs to be paid up.
This exam season, is the time to start saving up to break even of the debt i have just cleared.
This means.. i would not be bingeing on snacks, and i would not be spending lavishly. My hp bills will continue going lower and i will make sure they do not exceed $40 each month.
This should be possible. Also, i'm gonna have to start recording how much i spend a day, so that i can estimate how much i spend a week , then a month , and so on. so that i can start calculating how much exactly i m spending and i will know where all that money of mine has gone.
Its terrifying how money can just fly away without myself knowing.
And, i'm going to work during the holidays. though, not sure what yet. Perhaps i might go back into recruitment. But, i feel like taking up an internship in a PR company.
But i m quite certain i'm going to start giving tuition so i can pay off my hostel bills myself. I dont want to depend on my parents for hostel bills. So, i'm probably gonna find someone to give tuition to. Besides, i'm not going to have much commitment except for dance anymore. So, i think i should be able to do it.
Was browsing through some other peoples blogs. People i know, people i have seen around, and people i dont know and have never met before. There are different ways of expressing themselves. Some write poems, some write abstractly, while some.. jst write simply. Just like me. Though, i admit at times some stuff i write are crap.
What is the purpose of my blog? I remember a friend asking me the other day.
What do i want to get through to people in my blog?
I must admit my initial use of my blog was to attract attention due to my attention seeking nature. But i realised soon after all these attention are just temporary. They go away after the novelty wears off.
I also must admit i used to manipulate through my blog last time. Ranging from talking behind people's back, gossiping, to even.. declaring my love for someone i had a crush on.
But now, as i grow older (yeah.. i know this is cliche but its true), i begin to treat my blog as a memory database, recording the little things that happen in my life, making me what i m today. I guess when i grow up next time and when i re-read my blog again, i would definitely find myself laughing at the stupid things i worry about, m sad about and feeling proud of myself of what i m in the future. (well, at least i hope that will happen)
Writing a blog also allows me to be able to reflect better. Putting my worries into words seem to make these trouble simpler and easier to solve. I somtimes find myself worrying about the most stupid things when i blog. But as i type them, i realised i was being too pessimistic and things are not so bad after all.
I admit i use broken english and all that singlish in my blog. is it good? or is it bad? seriously, i dont really care. Blogging is therapeutic for me and i really appreciate the advent of the internet thus giving rise to Web 2.0 and thus blogs. (haha... gosh. i m even applying what i learn in CS 108???)
So, seriously, who cares about what you blog as long as u feel happier after blogging? surely we can be selfish for once? surely for once, we do not have to bother about other people's feelings when we type what we want?
maybe some of u might not understand. but i realized i used to practice self-censorship on my blog. its so stupid. i did it because i did not want to hurt the feelings of the people reading my blog. but i realised, if i cant do it on my blog, where else can i do it?
i dont have a diary, am too afriad to keep one coz i still remember my cousin took to read it before. (yes, mei hua. thats you. ahhaha.. but i dun think u read my blog though. ) After that, i was so traumatized i dont dare to keep diaries again, for fear that anyone else reads it. haha..
yeah.. i know, out of point. but this is my blog.. who cares?
Anyway, if u know anyone who wants tuition. tell me k? haha.. i need to find a student. but that.. can wait for after exams.
Til then, i shall start working hard because exams are 19days away.
