am never a banker.
whoo!! my Dad just handed me a hong bao! :D his Chinese friend passed it to him for us & the cash inside has the same colour as its red packet! ;) i dint know he has a Chinese friend working there. well i do know of this guy named Jimmy, who worked just next door to where my Dad is, but he's no longer working there. which is a good thing coz me & my sister find him creepy & somewhat lecherous? ok maybe thats a pretty mean thing to say of him since he's been nice to us (tho we only saw him twice in his workplace; only because to see our Dad). but thats the problem, he's toooo nice. like wanna flirt sia. when me & my sis were there, he acknowledged us & we did the same, then he looked at us up & down complimenting, & asking my Dad if my sister's available or something like that coz he thought she'd be a compatible suitor for his son. -___________-" hellooo, like in which generation are you still in? is your son even depending on you for his soulmate?

since then we agreed not to step into that place, just in case. anyway. saving money is really hard, aint it? i have to like postpone the things i wanna buy for weeks & weeks. only recently i managed to buy something-that-i-now-forgot-what, with extra money left & that made me feel good. coz a person like me, would spend any money left, even coins that add up to less than a dollar, on food food food. even Dear complains on that everytime. hahh. ey but at least i have a good reason for that.: i left my poor tummy to starve when in school, just so i can buy my things. but just when i thought i could keep maintaining that habit of saving up, i just had to sacrifice those money on food yet again, coz starving in school is.. not good. lol. but sadly this time, i just lost my $5. -.-" i remembered i took it out frm my Treasure Chest (haha), but i cant remember where i put it after that. gah!

i skipped school today. coz.. there are not classes. thats coz they all went for the boring Cross Country at East Coast. Dear skipped too coz his class is only for 1½hrs & it'd be a waste of time. so we went to City Hall to get his jeans altered, then off we went to McD for lunch. & thats when i realised my $5 was missing. lucky got extra cash (of which i was supposed to save for Wed's outing). then when i got home, my $5 isnt nowhere to be found. thats why it really pisses me off. hmm, i wonder if i did put the money in my back pocket where i put my wallet at, & who knows, maybe when i fished out my wallet to board the bus, my $5 might have fallen out? argh, that sucks big time.

i swear, frm the first time i knew i suck at maths, im never cut out for numbers & figures. i guess they hate me too.

alright, quit the talk abt money for now.
the song How To Save A Life by The Fray really gets to me. it's not that theyre one of my favourite bands, but the song is.


Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you’ve told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you and

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life
How to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life
How to save a life



it's just beautiful.
stay well, my friends. <3
