Month: April 2007

A girlfriend stayed over last night and when we woke up at 8 this morning, we went to have a walk in the park. Very nice. I must do this more often, even if it means walking alone.

Just feels great to start your morning early and a little sweat .. out.

Then, we had dim sum at Menjalara, Kepong. Also very nice because I’ve not had dim sum for quite some time. After brunch, we went driving around Desa Park City. Very nice houses they have there. Sometimes, I just like to look at nice houses and dream.

Next, it was jalan-jalan time at The Curve. Went to this Japanese place in Cineleisure called Midori for a long talk. I like the white table and cute pink square stools. Bought a car sign…and I like it! Been trying to look for one and I think this one that I found is pretty good…for me.

Then, sent friend to the LRT station and I went to the pasar malam alone. Bought sayur bayam (for my iron supply), jagung kukus (because sometimes I love to bite horizontally), tomato, carrot and grapes.

Now it’s time to bathe and iron my clothes!

I like my Sunday today.

Why is it that when it is that time of the month, your pimple suddenly disappear and you look a little more prettier than the other days? When that time of the month is approaching, you feel symptoms, like your stomach gets bloated and you think you are fat but you’re not fat, it’s just that the stomach is bloated. But lately, I “see” a symptom, which is no more pimples and the face actually glows. I don’t remember reading anywhere that this happens.

So maybe the next time when I wake up to a pimple-less face, I must know the pipe is going to burst anytime soon.

It’s like everything bad and dirty flows out from the face as well. And when the pipe runs dry, the face accummulates all the bad stuff again to build pimples.

The thing is that even though there is this pimple-less period, it doesn’t really come at a very good timing. When it is that time of the month, it is tiring. Even though you’ve had enough sleep, it still feels like you’ve missed a good few hours of sleep. It’s tiring.

When you look tired, then you don’t look pretty so…I think it’s still the same.

And maybe now that it is that time of the month, it explains why I suddenly got so emotional and lonely the night before.

PMS is very scary. But don’t worry, most of the time, I will not bark or shout at someone, unless you’re asking for it. I will just suffer in silence. I prefer it that way.

The previous night, I was so lonely that I cried. Ya, sometimes it gets to me lah. Staying alone. No one to talk to. Only the television talking to me and then I didn’t want it to talk to me so I switched it off. Thought about my sister. Thought about him. Thought about everything that I do not have to think.

The only convenient way out was to cry. For those of you who have read me long enough, you know me.

So, yesterday I went into the office and a colleague asked me if I went out to catch any chicken last night. A Cantonese way of speaking, if you know what I mean. I told her I didn’t get to catch any. I cannot tell her I cried lah!

Today, she asked me the same question again so I think I must have looked really sleepy.

I will not allow her to ask me that question tomorrow. I’m going to bed early tonight. Drank nen nen already so I think it should help. hehe

Met an insurance agent today. Although I have yet to get a premium, I’d like to refer her as my insurance agent. She’s a friendly lady, 5 years older, so she’s able to give me some tips.

I don’t really just meet new people like that, more so an insurance agent. But there was just something in her that made me feel comfortable and I just suddenly had the urge to meet someone new.

I already have an insurance plan which Mummy took up for me when I was still studying and of course I do not know anything about insurance back then and not that I’m very well-versed with it now. So, maybe I’m not going to take up another premium, unless it covers something that my existing policy doesn’t cover. I’m actually more interested in savings/investments kind of plan.

Just the other day, while jogging with Pappy at the park, he was talking to me about shares, investments, unit trusts…

He asked, “Grace, how much do you save per month?”

“When I was young, I didn’t know anything about shares or investments. And I didn’t even save my money. So now that I’m learning about it, I want you to learn too because I know it’s good for your future.”

How nice it is if I can have someone to think about my future and protect me. I’m sorry but I haven’t really met anyone who’s like that. Most of the time, I have to worry for the other person and that person is not worried at all! Very sien.

I don’t really know how much I save in a month but I know and make sure I do not overspend more than what I earn. But I think it’s about time to do some “forced” savings. Like opening up another bank account, set aside some money, dump it in and then do not touch it. Must not have any ATM cards linking to that account. It’s just a see-only-no-touch account.

Currently, what I have now is just a basket and it’s not good to put all your eggs in just one basket.

Since I may not end up marrying a rich guy, or that if I ever marry one, he should decide to leave me, or even if I marry one and he’s sticking with me for the rest of our lives, or worse, a husband that I have to feed (seriously, I don’t need this!!!) I think I need to have something to fall back to at any time of my life when things are not so merry.

But maybe it’s not really about that, I think saving money gives me a sense of security and that I enjoy looking at growing numbers in the account.

I’m hungry and I shall go make myself something to eat.
