A Day In the Life Of A Kid Who Hasn't Had A Holiday In A Long Time...

Headed down to town with [MJ] to meet up with [YH] for some chit-chat as well as lunch in [Suki]... Once again, I was reminded of my seniority as the waiteress asked for the students among the trio... My failure to produce the famed student card tt allows for food discounts islandwide is hurting... Esp so when you're in transition from limbo to undergrad... Again, I'm now an adult before going back to my comfy status of student...

[MJ] and [YH] then attacked the food the moment they're told to do so while I simply took a little here and there to slowly fill my stomach... For once, I think I did eat a little more as I've skipped breakfast, not tt I intended to anyway... I actually wanted to simply down a cup of milo before the meal... Apparently, I was too caught up in [Restaurant City] to even function properly and had almost lost track of the time...

Thank you, [MJ], for sending my into another abyss when I've recently crawled out from another named [Pet Society]...

We did gossiped a little and sine news just aren't tt surprising afterall once you've been there, done tt... I mean, the 1st time, it'll sting like hell, but after you've gotten over it, there's only the initial envy and tt's abt it... The bottom line is, we're all leading different lives and have different fates... I just simply have to work on my patience a little more and I'll see the rewards soon...

Heck, if vamps can wait for 500 to 2,000 yrs for their lifemate, what's waiting for a mere 5 or 20 more yrs in addtion to what I've already gone through??? It's all a matter of perspective, I would say...

In the end, the three of us spent a total of $74.10 for the meal and again, I paid the most to cover up for the GST and service charge... Thus, if I were to really calculate, I would have spent $65.10 in a mere 2 days of going out... If this were to continue, I believe my future is indeed gonna be filled with monetart woes... *Sigh*

Perhaps it's time to do some self-reflection and be more careful on what I take my wallet out for... Of course, abstinence is by far the most effective way to solve the problem and I should simply just not head out of the house and be attacked by the deadly UV-rays... LOL... I've long associated sunlight with spending cash, which is true to a certain extend...

And speaking of $$$, it seems to lead to another issue: Trust... Consider this... When you're working and doing a proper job, you'll have to contribut a portion of your pay to your CPF and so does the employer... This is a system tt has been in place for quite some time already, so it's totally beyond me to question the payslip tt states who contribute what to my CPF and actaully do a check... So the webby states tt there's no contribution a couple of wks back, but the webby isn't run on real-time so it's just not being updated yet and I don't think it warrants a check...

Therefore, it totally leaves me puzzled when [Dad] wants to know the contribution figures so tt he can do whatever checks he wants and I didn't have the figures cause I've destroyed the payslip (it's afterall FYI only) and he simply hanged up the phone... Rude (another gene I'm happy to rid myself off)...

Anyway, my stand is, if such a system has been in place for so long, shouldn't we have a little faith and trust tt there won't be any errors??? If you think abt it, what are the chances of there being a problem for everyone who contributes to their CPF for the 1st time??? This is a Poisson distribution question, which means tt it's totally random and the probability is damn small... Besides, even if there's a prob this one time, I wouldn't mind overlooking it cause the figures are small and I won't be contributing to my CPF anytime soon for the next 3 yrs or so...

Heck, if I'm not so god-damn old, none of this prob will fall on me... Ugh...

And if there's so much lack of faith and trust, how can I ever bring myself to actually have more trust when I so desperately need it??? To me, trust is universal... If you can't trust something as innocent as your contribution to your CPF, how can I trust someone with my heart???

It's amazing how much I can think abt in tt time span of 3 hrs of lunch-ing as well as eating so much cream-puff... I believe the overuse of my brain in addition to the huge amt of cream which I've ingested made me not think straight... To think I actually allowed [MJ] to catch me on video when I'm playing [Para Para]!!! Oh man, I think my image has just went from 0 to the -ve region...

@ least I had fun... LOL...

Besides, compared to the number of unglam shots of [Cass] and her numberous vids, 1 of mine isn't tt bad after all... Haha... See??? It's all a matter of perspective...
