i am taxed....

....no i don't mean physically, but financially. oh the horrors of being financially independent!

the website nicely summarises the amount i've earned over the past year and of course it is pre-cpf contributions. i looked at the few ten Ks and then i looked into my bank account-->drastic difference

WHAT THE F DID I DO TO MY MONEY?! no seriously, even taking into consideration the amount i spent on some stocks, WHERE DID THE REST OF MY SWEAT AND BLOOD WENT TO?

omg ridiculous.

okay alright, maybe a significant amount went to the stocks...very bad move cuz now the market is horrible due to some stupid crisis in the middle east, my money is now stuck. sigggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh. shouldnt have been so tempted. or maybe stupid people there should stop protesting or whatever i have no idea....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

so anyway, tried tonkichi for the first time..

started with salmon sushi first. salmon sashimi=must order in every jap restaurant we go to.. so this was no regret AT ALL. the fish was awesomely fresh and chewy, not powdery..and then more food came..the soft shell crab on one plate and a huge display of prawn+oyster tempurafinally, i present to you, a table for two!

tonkichi=tonkatsu=fried crumbed pork

it was nice from the start, then it started to become more unpleasant cuz the crumbed part was (although crunchy), very rough. made eating/chewing not a good thing cuz it could cut ur lips/tongue/gums/whatever moist and warm areas in the mouth. oh yeah, the huge mound of cabbage wasn't a useless mound of greens, it really helped cleanse the mouth of the oilyness/jelakness of the tempura.

oh and skip the agedashi tofu. the tempura was mad sticky, like mochi! or maybe cuz i have never ate agedashi tofu this sticky, but i don't like it. well my ramen was pretty good though. and definitely salmon sashimi/sushi is a must-order.

maybe i must try to make it a habit of taking pictures with my phone or bring my camera out everytime i go makan with the bf..and blog. maybe erm, entice ur taste buds a little? :)

OMG THE STOCK MARKET IS DAMN BAD NOW!! :(((




but it is a damn good time to buy some stocks.

unfortunately i don't have that much cash :(

life as it is

HELLO LONG FORSAKEN BLOG!

naiseee...last post was in july! woots! and why did i choose to update now i don't exactly know why too...maybe cuz zhan kinda reminded me why i haven't updated yet...

so anyway, work is same old, but year end bonus was a plus. managed to get a good present for the BF for xmas and am glad i did. shift work is tiring me out, especially the night shifts, in particular consecutive double nights...am gonna request to work single nights next time. my body cannot take the stress. a sign of old age? or a sign of poor health? *shrugs*

Christmas just flew pass and merry belated christmas to everyone (or anyone) who is reading this.

Xmas eve dinner was spent with the BF at District 10 Bistro (like actually not many people know where it is). damn hard to access cuz the path was like a one way street, so we made many detours and eventually had to ask a taxi driver for directions. was a buffet which was kinda alright but selection was few. BF loved the beef, while i liked the dessert...damn chocolatey! :)
Xmas dinner was spent with just a close bunch of BF's friends, having pizza and drinks and a pretty interesting card game to play with...

so, that's all for now folks. not gonna quit my job anytime yet definitely, and am trying my luck for a BTO flat. i want my house!!! but it's hot stuff man, damn difficult to even have the slightest chance of getting my hands on one. sigh...it's gotta wait man. or else to get a resale flat which means i need more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.....

i shall try to update more often..hmm...... :)

restlessness

money matters are getting on me now that i realise i'm spending very much even without buying the unnecessary. i should start investing and growing my money already and not let the money stay stagnant. soon..plans are on the way with help from the trusted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i kind of hate it right now looking at pictures of baked goodies that friends post on fb, cuz it seriously causes an itch in my hands (or heart) to go trawl the web for recipes and bake some shit.

but no, it's not like back in adelaide where i have the urge/knowing of what to bake next, search for the recipe, try and try and try again. is it the weather? lifestyle? people? i really don't know..it's a mixture of everything i suppose.

is it because i am finding my life so boring, so mundane i wished i was doing something else to fill the gaps? but i am so lazy i find it hard to plan anything for myself. even seeing other couples post photos of the activities they had done like going to the mbs or universal studios or even to some big walk event makes me jealous.

or maybe i'm just getting a little emotional now. it's PMS time -- P for post.

updates from the tired pig

too comfortable with life now that i am not bothered to update regularly....

sidenote: jiaxin tang i hate you (temporarily). sweetness overload for ur bali trip cannn?? tsk.

am kinda liking the adrenaline rush that comes with the job. it is kinda thrilling when things get a little quiet..

and i need more $$$!!! or else, property prices pls dip for a while? stop being so sky high!

swine flu

the piggy is sick :( the swine got a flu.

i hate hate hate being sick. cuz then i'll feel so tired and sluggish to move or go anywhere.

but i got love sent to me, in a human form holding a bottle of herbal tea <3

:)))))))

a working adult

2nd week into my job in the blood bank and i'm already understanding how tiring it is, when you get home after work, u just feel like the energy's all zapped out...

or maybe i'm just unfit lah.

but yeah, it's no longer just a few studying hours in school every day. it's hardcore lab work. at least now i'm still new, advice from the rest is to enjoy it while i can. really dreading the waking up early part, and having to sleep early on sundays so i dont be like a superduper yawner at work.

well at least i feel i'm kinda liking what i'm doing now. i don't know how long more i can stay on...what the future holds...
