11:14 PM
This is one of da toughest momements in my life. I've have to mix all this up into one dish: study for supplementry paper, working part-time (sometimes full day from 9am-11pm), my daily exercise schedule (20 pushups & 10 diamond pushup with 5kg weight behind me, 20 sit-ups, 20 clunches, 5kg weight lifting with my legs), my own daily bible study revision (1 lesson /night), looking after my cute little hamster MAKI (1min/day). Of course I'm no super man, sometimes I'm able to handling these all in 1 day, sometimes I've to forego certain things.
I've lost track when's the last time I'm half finanically independent from my parents. Everything is my own expense except my fone bills and internet bills. Oh no...my parents didn't ask me to do it. In fact I've to 'fight' to be financially independent; I still remember the struggle to reject my mum giving me allowance then screaming at myself later for rejecting! Besides, I believe MAN shouldn't always live by CONVENIENCE, they should live by CONVICTION.
Thank God my meals are provided by Feng's Family Pte ltd. I never really appreciate
my mum's cooking until I start to become financially independent from my parents. Restraining myself from overspending in food is another thing...I still remember I would look in awe to those who order moutains of food....or irresistable Chocolate Ice Cream...I've to choose to be gentle with my wallet and not fill the empty moutain in my stomach. I mean man...they amount of food they order...you would think these people are specialist in printing money.
It's no wonder I admire the storage techniques of camels...i mean they are cool-LA!
This morning I was down with severe sore-right eye. It was so red, people are heading for cover as they thought I was really MAD(angry) today. It was also the first time in my life I'm so mad at my own sickness because it is hindering me to study.
At the same time I felt so weird, because the lifestyle I live is like so different from others...People around me would spend without a thought. Even for a drink that costs a dollar can cause me to foam in my mouth after too much consideration. Never-da-less, God has been really faithful and good to me. Although I'm financially independent, look at these bonus:
1)First time in my life, I was able to save until a 3-digit amount in my bank; it previously didn't happen even though I was getting allowance daily.
2)I'm so good at saving now. I think I qualify for a survival training or write a book on 101 steps to save.
3)Even though I wasn't getting any allowance, I can still eat my daily meals! Credits to Feng Family Pte Ltd!
4)Food no longer has a strong hold over me. In the past, dangling food in front of me would send me in a frenzy, chasing the food like a pup. Presently, doing the same thing would also send me in a frenzy, this time, slapping the poor dude with the food.
5) To be able to be more clearly define what are my needs and wants
No matter how complex life is...
I really just want a simple life...
