Money

I can now understand those people who get themselves into a situation where they can't pay their bills. I'm not bad with money; I don't have an outrageous shopping habit or gamble but it just so happens that everything managed to coincidentally happen within the same time frame.
Honestly speaking, I do have the money but it's sitting in a savings account which I'm doing my best not to withdraw from cos I used to do that which is why I have such low interest rate. So I'm trying a new approach where I'll just use the money I receive from work rather than transfer anything to savings for now till everything blows over. I underestimated how much I needed for the coming months. The dental fees cost about 100 bucks more than expected cos of slight complication that they had to use the drill which added extra. Then I'm expected to pay for the visas for the family cos my plane ticket is covered. And then there are all those other costs for the trip, plus I need to pay two months rent... It's a little overwhelming to say the least. I don't even earn that much per week.. maybe 400-500?
Either way, it just irks me when my housemates aren't very sympathetic to my cause and where I try to be frugal they see me as being stingy. Well screw you. I'm trying hard to keep costs low where I can, but they leave their tvs on, lights on, everything else bloody on. I'm glad they can tell I'm pissed. We pay for everything pretty evenly (except rent but they have the bigger room and ensuite) yet I somehow end up doing most housework without so much as a thank or acknowledgement. I don't mind doing it occasionally but sometimes they need to put in some work. My housemate even said that when Jasp and I went overseas they were okay with doing the housework, but when we came back they just relaxed and didn't worry about it. I am partly to blame I know, but I've tried stopping to clean after everyone now but it has gotten to the point where we had several boxes stacked full of rubbish just sitting there.
I knew I wouldn't like living with them particularly. I enjoy them as friends, but a lot of what they do or not do just pisses me off sometimes. I only moved out thinking that it'd be cheaper but really, it's been about the same if not more money living with them.
I don't think I'm in a right mind to be thinking about all this, feeling really pressured at the moment, most self inflicted. Sigh.

I really miss being in primary school, and that excitement of buying new stationery to put in your pencil case. That thought has been bugging me all day and I really miss innocent thoughts like that.

Questions part III

8. What are 5 passions you have?
Traveling
Constantly thinking about the future (not really a passion per se, but something that I obsess over enough)
Currently trying to finish this 1000 piece puzzle which I've been doing for a couple of days
Gaming- currently playing Theatrhythm if anyone is curious
Not so much as a passion, but obsessing over the idea of obtaining a new skill

 9. List 10 people who have influenced you and describe how.
I really don't think I could answer this question because I don't feel like I've been influenced in a positive way recently so it's hard to recall anyone that has made a big impact on my life. (excluding Jasp of course)

 10. Describe your most embarrassing moment.
So. Many. One I remember was when I was in Chinese school in an art class, I was told to write my name on the board in Chinese. I did, but everyone laughed at me and the teacher had to correct the Jun part of my name.
Other embarrassing moments usually involve me saying something stupid or just not thinking at all.

11. Describe 10 pet peeves you have. It's hard to answer questions like these.. I think one of the bigger pet peeves of mine is when people leave you hanging. i.e texts, normal conversations etc. If you're busy or whatever, just say that and I'll leave you to it. Really not hard. There are other pet peeves that come to mind but involve Jasp, so I won't incriminate him on my blog ><

12. Describe a typical day in your current life. Currently involves me going to work Tuesday - Thursday + Saturday, although that might change in the coming weeks. But yes, during the day I usually watch stuff, clean, 3DSing, and currently a puzzle.. Weekends there usually might be hanging out with friends, and once every fortnight I visit my family. It's been the same routine more or less for a year which is quite depressing. Hoping this year will be a big change for me after all the traveling I have planned.
