Pre-CNY Preparations.

Ok, you know the drill… we get new clothes, new whatever to wear for CNY.
We get some munchies for the home, some sugary drinks for the guests…

In previous years I was more interested in getting the clothes than the munchies, but 4 days to go to CNY and I haven’t even got ANYTHING new to wear yet (except that pair of blue Levis jeans).

And I already have a container of love letters, kueh bangkit, prawn rolls and sugary drinks in stock.

WHERE HAVE MY PRIORITIES GONE!??!?!?!
Especially when I lost 10kg liao leh… *grumbles*

All The Buts, But None of The Solutions….

I have many doubts in life. A worrier, I am… after all.

I see the negative side of things all the time, and I get pretty tired by the end of the day.
People think I am happy-go-lucky, but it’s more of – I’m happy if I could be, luckier.

Having the iPhone is fun. Web-surfing is much better on a bigger screen, but am still annoyed by how easily I have typo errors whenever I send out SMSes and emails.

Having my own hosted domain is fun.
But I absolutely have no idea what else I should do with it.
A secret FTP site to store my files?
Set up my own forum (what the heck for?!)?
Or what?

Having a car to bring me around places, running errands, meeting people for discussions and everything – it’s great.
But it’s not so great to see my savings grow at a snail’s pace.
Bah. Need to make more money, and to make much more quicker than ever before. *thinks*

Having a 10-year loan on our flat is perhaps one of the wisest decisions that we have made, to ensure a roof over our heads as we age every single day as a silly couple.
But where do we go from now? What do we do with our CPF funds?
Invest them on some Equity Funds?
Throw the “invisible money” all into the principal HDB loan amount?
Transfer the funds to Special Account to enjoy the 4% annual interest?
Too many possibilities to make a hasty decision right now.

What do you think we could do?

Big Picture / Small Picture.

The big picture:
Everything is well and good. Everything is bright and fine.
I should be happy and satisfied everything has gone insanely well for me so far.

The small picture:
I think a little more money would be good.
Then again, who doesn’t want more money?

Darn.

Welcome to Barffie.Com!!!.

Yes I have deserted Liquidblade

But it was good while it lasted.

So… I just hope this cheap webhost will “do it” for me.
And I got to do regular backups

iFart.

2 years in the waiting… I finally got myself an iPhone. Hopefully it’ll give me some mobile surfing fun!

Rush of Happiness.

Just when I was feeling quite dulled and disillusioned by the influx of awful awful cat abuse cases, abandoned mummy cats… kittens and so many complaints from intolerant people…

I had a rush of happiness when I found that our dipping reserves is back on track to a healthier level

It’s nice knowing that we have done something right after all

Hiao!.

After losing a good 7-8kg recently, I found myself getting a little more interested in make up… again

I am looking at getting gel eyeliners and I am collecting my Coastal Scents 88-colour eyeshadow palette soon!

*dance*

Taking The Next Step.

I have just submitted online, the application to enter the degree course that I have spoken about for so long.

I am also about to submit my application for a scholarship.

===

The next step I have taken for a better future is now in sight.

I can do it!!!

Another new template.

This is uber simplistic and features a uber huge picture of Latte as the blog banner.

Took out all the frivolous stuff… the blogroll, the archives, the search bar and all that doesn’t matter.

Welcome to the new minimalist Barffie!

2009/2010.

It’s the last day of 2009 and we are about to transit and cross over to 2010.

A new decade, another year to make a difference, another timeline to fill up to make up what’s left of our short lives here on Earth…

2 years before 2012

Wishing
I wish for better health. No more specialist visits, please.

I wish I could finally get that scholarship. And the degree course with the right advanced standing level…

I wish everyone I love to have great health and happier lives.

Wanting
I want to bring CWS to another level despite my to-be hectic schedule.

I want to be better at my work. Less carelessness. More quality. More timeliness and less procrastination.

I want to spend less on frivolous stuff and save more. I have a mental target for our savings account to reach.

That’s all! Happy 2010!!!!
