Love at First Sight?

I nearly lost it when I saw this….

Then reality set in and I snapped out of it.

 

Scary things I learnt about myself today

Met my insurance agent this morning to go through a financial health assessment exercise. Through the exercise, I discovered the following thing about myself:

1. I don’t know my exact gross and net salary
2. I don’t keep track of my monthly expenses
3. I don’t know how much monetary liabilities (car, study loan etc) I have

Scary.

The fortunate thing is:

1. I adhere to a strict monthly savings regime
2. I contribute to my parents a fixed sum of household expenses monthly
3. I pay my monthly credit card bills on time and in full
4. I don’t default on my monthly repayment of study and car loan
5. I cover myself adequately (I believe) in terms of insurance and investment
6. I review my coverage on a regular basis with my insurance agent
7. I don’t default on my annual insurance and endowment premium
8. I always have extra cash on top of my savings at the end of each month

The above although are good financial management practices but it has also unfortunately caused me to develop this nonchalant attitude towards my finances. So for now, I have to wait to see if my financial health is in the positive territory. I am also contemplating to do a will.

 

Fun during Feeding Time

Finally got my new camera from Kerr on Fri. Spent the whole afternoon experimenting with it and signing up for a digital photography class.

Megan and Marcus were my photo subject earlier during their feeding time. These are the better pictures that turned out from the batch. It was very difficult to shoot them as they were running around after the feeding.

Back to reality

Back to work today. Fortunately no holiday withdrawals. The day was manageable. Met Brian and S&S for dinner after work. Brian’s work caught their eye at a friend’s wedding plus they found out on Facebook that Brian is my friend so I was approached to help arranged tonight’s meet up.

It was a fruitful night for the couple who finally confirmed Brian’s service for their wedding. For me, I had a crash course on the different types of photo printing papers when Brian was pitching his sales to the couple. I never know there are so many different printing materials before this. Interesting.

The banana butterscotch latte I had at dinner is keeping me awake! Potent stuff!

 

Shopping monster unleashed

4 hours at Far East Plaza = being in shopping paradise

It was really shiok to to succumb to the shopaholic inside me after so long. Miss those days where I roamed Orchard Road with my gal pals almost every week.

This leave and the GSS is not a good thing for my pockets.

 

Hungry again

All that penne I ate had gone to waste. 2 bouts of stomach ache that left me breaking out in cold sweat while driving home earlier is the cause of this hunger pang at this hour.

Must be the running + detox tea + carrot/apple/cucumber juice I had this evening. Coincidentaly, the fruit juice is called ‘Detox’!

 

Ruined

There goes my plan to chill out with a magazine at Yat Kun this afternoon. I splashed myself with the hard boiled egg that I ordered. I made such a mess of myself and the table that I had to quickly finish the food and leave while the guys seating at the next tables were all looking at me. Give up!

Quite a spectacular mess.
