Weekends always pass so fast. Before I know it, it’s already Sunday evening, and it’s Monday tomorrow, which means work! I envy the rest of the mates, clearing their leaves and offs. I suppose they envy me too that I ORD already. But what’s there to envy about ORD? Freedom? Civilian life is not as free as it looks like.
Anyway, Saturday was spent at home, using computer and sleeping, cos going out will mean spending money. Even if you don’t spend on buying things, you will still need to pay for meals and transportation. At least I need to wait until I get my first pay end of the month. I need to go and submit my time sheet tomorrow after at International Plaza. Saturday night was spent at grandma’s place. I spent most of the evening talking to my aunts downstairs while my cousins played ball at the badminton court.
Today is Xin Ying’s birthday, and she invited the secondary people to her house for a mini birthday party. I met Jin Tai and Dennis at Northpoint to buy present first. We don’t know what to get for her, so in the end we settled for a set of speakers from Cyberactive. The best part was the shopping for the wrapper at Popular. Because the speaker set was so big, we don’t know what size should we buy.
It’s fun seeing the secondary school mates again. People like Huixian, Sheng Loo, Willy, Kelvin, and Yong Peng. The whole afternoon at Xinying’s place was spent playing Texas Poker. It’s Jin Tai first play today, but he won the most. So lucky!
We went off around 5 in the evening. I went to mail out the Christmas cards which I have wrote and went to grandma’s place after that. I talked to my grandma, and she was telling me about saving money. “Always keep half of what you earn.” I wanted to do that too. But maybe it’s because of me not being determined enough to do so, that’s why I’m still broke. Dinner was… instant noodles and two hotdogs, and some left over chicken from Friday.
I miss my friends.
