my twin bro called me fr tekong yest n haf a short conversation..His army life,my workin life in STE blah blah blah..but,when i asked him about how had army life changed him,his answer triggered off my mind to tink about how haf workin life changed me..haha actually both of our answers r e same..we dun take things 4 granted oredi..now,can say tt he or rather i'm more easily contended....

well,for 1,now i realli noe wat my parents meant by its nt easy to earn $$..ok la,which parents dun tell their children tt?mayb i'll tell my children e same ting next time but,tt's besides the point..but even though knowin tt its nt easy to earn $$,i still believe in pamperin myself after a month of hard work.of cuz a large part of my salary was set aside n passed to my mum for household expenses n 4 her to save 4 me n i realli need to manage my miserable left over well in order nt to over spend but tt even though wif tt small n mayb insignificant sum(to others) of money,i can still afford to treat myself to a feast n smtime buy a piece or two of clothing to doll up..hehe yup,i may nt be able to splurge like others but i'm oredi grateful for all tt i haf now..

The hotest topic in town is e 2 upcomin casino to be built here,n plp is alwayz complainin bout lack of place of interest in S'pore..i do admit,i used to form part of these plp,when i run out of places to go on wkends wif Jie,both of us will wonder out loud tt y S'pore is so damn borin n y can't we haf more places n choices to make instead of juz goin to those same old borin shoppin centers n places of interest which we dunno had been to how many umpteen times..but as times goes by,following the event of him enlistin into army n me entering the work force,instead of the usual fast-paced foot steps we use to take,we learned to slow our paces n to enjoy n appreciate the surroundings ard us..

You realli neber noe wat u had missed out unless u slow down n start to appreciate ur surroundings n then u will find tt actually its those little stuff tt we tend to neglect tt makes up part n parcel of our lives eventually n will remain in our memories 4eva..Juz e other day when i was browsing at the toys department at chinatown OG while waitin 4 my mum,although fascinated by all the new toys tt kids can enjoy nowadayz,i was more attracted to e section which displays those familar toys tt had accompany me thru my childhood dayz..while holdin up a barbie toy,i could still see the image of me pesterin my mum to buy 4 me while i was younger n of cuz to no avail..Plp muz haf mistake me 4 an idiot standin there grinnin 4 5 mintues at the thought of my younger dayz where i was deprive fr all these toys..haha ok la mayb i was exaggerating abit,but the 1 n only barbie doll i own is when i saved up enuff to buy when i was in pri 5 n i doubled up as her personal designer by makin outfit for barbie using clothes cut out fr i aso forgot wat..hahah walkin on down the aisles,i suddenly felt so fortunate to know that now given my present status,i'm able to afford to buy e toys tt i yearn for as a child..i didnt buy anything in the end,cuz i really dunno which 1 to buy..haha n i'm afraid tt i will lost control of myself n start buyin all these toys whenever i can..but still I'm beri happie at tt moment to be at e toys department when memories no matter is fond or bad,to come floodin bak n aso suddenly realise tt how time flies and here I'm as a workin adult lookin like an overaged child nearly droolin over every toy there..trust me,its a indescribable feelin at that moment..how often can we do tt?Not often i should say...
