random

sometimes even I can't stand the narcissism in me. although I have nothing in particular to blog about tonight, I just feel the NEED to come up with an entry so that people don't have to look at my fugly face the moment they arrive at this site. haha.


but you know what? My instincts told me that it's a waste of time for you to continue reading this because honestly speaking, you really can't expect anything significant from a person who's leading a very mundane life right now.


so yes, you may leave now if you want to while I shall, on the other hand move on with more ramblings and nonsense. =D


hmmm..... let's seee...


after spending several minutes in thought on what to blog, I decided to land on a random fact about me: why I think I'm cheapskate.

=D


reason #1: instead of paying RM1.80 for a hotdog bun from RT pastry every morning, I'd walk 8 steps extra to the pastry next to it and get myself the same bun with RM1.60 even though I'm already late for work.


reason #2: instead of signing out at the time I leave office everyday, I often *secretly* add on another 10 minutes in the attendance book so that I can earn an extra RM1.50 and take that as a treat from the company for my hotdog bun the next morning.


reason #3: instead of getting mom a mother's day present and a seperate one for dad's birthday, I brought the two of them out for dinner and told them it's a treat for both occasions.


reason #4: instead of getting my 3 favourite storybooks from MPH mv, I'm actually planning to walk an extra mile to the Borders in the Gardens and get all the 3 of them with the price of 2 since Borders often have this "buy 2 get 1 free" promotion. hoho.


reason #5: instead of chucking all the used papers into the bin like the rest of my colleagues do, I collect them in a box hidden under my bed. took the hassle to carry 7kgs of the papers I collected earlier and sold them off with a pathetic amount of RM1.70.


reason #6: instead of paying RM1.20 for taufufah every morning, I can now consume the same amount of it with 10 cents less because I now reuse the container I collected from the uncle during the past few weeks.


reason #7: instead of sms-ing zunny directly to her 017 number, I have now decided to contact her through her mom's 016 number because it's way cheaper to do so.


and after all the troubles in saving these tiny-winy pennies, I with pride, spent about RM250 in mv the other day to get myself some quite-but-not-entirely useless things which I can't resist having.

-.-


hopeless.


note: I was told to prepare for a scholarship interview through the phone by tomorrow morning. don't know what these people are up to but.. wish me luck! =)

I left this on MSN, dunno whether you got it or not..

good luck for your scholarship interview!

haha your reasons why you think you're a cheapskate are good! I practice most of them ;p with the exception of 5, 6 and 7. I can't relate to 2 because I get paid by the day, not by the hour hehe.

and then suddenly I find myself blowing a huge sum just to make myself happy :D

first and foremost, I dont understand why you people even bother to read this nonsense. lmao.

indeed, I was overflowed with joy after spending a huge sum (well, at least to me) of money in mv BUT saving up on measly stuffs gave me the exuberance too!

so you see, I think it's the self-contentment that matters after all. =P

interview was fine probably because it was just the first round and it's not a face-to-face type of interview? though nervous, I had a nice conversation with the interviewer. She actually wished me luck for my 2nd interview so i GUESS I did okay.. Will be informed of the outcome in 2 to 3 weeks time but IF everthing goes well, I will have to go through another 2 panels of interview. chances are quite slim though, for there are more than 80 eligible elites who applied for it and only 5 candidates will be chosen as their scholar.

still, I'll try to do my best. *keeping my fingers crossed*

THANK YOU PEOPLE!
