Sometimes you wonder how much it is to actually run a household, oh ya plus my maid's salary of $340...it's so hard to buy, cant everyone likes the same type food...?
Dad always say I don't contribute enough to household, think he doesnt realise how all these small little items can sum up so much,I contribute to Jeslyn's piano lesson ($80), Maid's salary ($340), Brothers HP bill ($100+), plus all the groceries...
Mum said that Dad's mentality is still very tradtional, he likes to see me giving them money because that's tangible and what happens what I give him money, he just leave it there and said this is for my wedding next time...hahaha...Though they might say I don't contribute enough, but in their heart, they are happy that I am in fact contributing. (Comforting to know when my aunt told me that last Sunday, my parents told them I contribute to household and I gave them $XXXX during CNY)..
Last Sunday the adults started talking aboout their children, could see tears in my aunt's eyes...she told her daughter that she has to give her money but none till now, 1 year after graduation, must be hurting , considering that my aunt gave her daughter 100k to apply for PR in Aus...sigh...
It's not about how much but the gesture, my parents told me before, they are not after our money, what is our mingle money to them but it's a form of gesture to give them money, no matter how much we give them, we cant never repay $ they have invested on us....it's pleasing to them , a kind of assurance that we'll not abandon them when they are old....parents still have to contribute when their children get married, gotta give dowry...Now I understood why in the olden days when daughters are married off, their parents will give them jewelleries, it's a form of security, in case their daughters are mistreated, it's always good to have some money with them...

*.* From the Inside out *.*
A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Chorus 2x
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out

It's the end of Monday already,4 working days left before it's weekend again, 27 days left to Brissy, 3 mths before I turn 25...
Getting my CPA results got me thinking, what am I gonna study after the last paper? CFA, Masters? CFA seems out after a look at the sample questions, doesn't appeal to me at all... Masters in Forensic Accounting, sounds fun....What do I want to do with my career. Have you wonder how awesome is God, just when you think you've lost, you've actually gained more what you've lost....
Thought I've lost out in terms of leave and public holidays (1st May Labour Day-Unpaid), 2 days of annual leave due to job switch....Guess what I found out today, I'm entitled to not just leave on examination day but also revision period (max of 10 days per year in addition to annual leave of 21 days--to pro rate) Awesome...gone were the days where I've to put aside my annual leave to study for exam, KPMG permitted leave on only the examination day only....WHOooohoooOOoo...
My throat's hurting from the Polar Tuna puff, super heaty, soo potent...head seems to be kinda heavy,hmmMMmm, thinking too much..I should sleep soon....
I miss Gold Coast, I miss the Beaches, I can't wait to fly, the travel bug is kicking in again, feeling moody...I need a break...
I said before that I'll never be possessive of my partner, but like Steph said before, when ya in a relationship, ya a different person, you said you wont be, but you don't know why you react like that.
Think I'm kinda affected by him going over to the girls house to play games, going on a trip with the girls and having to share rooms with girl.If Im not in a relationship I'll say... trust him, he has the rights to go out with who he wants to, Why am I not thinking this way... I don't like the idea...I feel trapped..breathlesss, all suppressed in me.I can't throw tantrum or show my unhappiness..Why why.....or can I just shout out I hate it!...
He never want to travel to other states with me and yet this time he's going with so many girls...I can't help it but feeling a sense of dismay..it's like tiring to travel with me but not with other girls...sometimes you just wonder how nonsensical you get when ya in a relationship....Why is it so different when ya seeing things from a 3rd party perspective.....and when ya in it...Why do we get so emotional?
Guess it's the headache and distance apart..I should sleep...just one of those nights that I can cry myself to sleep..
I hate work! it's boring~having low morale...Why did I move from a place where I know the things inside out to a place where I know nothing...
I dont wanna wake up....I had a recurring dream the other night again.....

Oh no...I look like an auntie....
Think the more he calls me 'Little Fat Sow', the more I'm looking like one...

*.* Lost in Love--Air Supply *.*
Lost in Love---Air SupplyI realize the best part of love is the thinnest lace
And it don't count for much but I'm not letting go
I believe there's still much to believe in
So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me
You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on
Chorus:
Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking about
Fell out of touch
But I'm back on my feet
Eager to be what you wanted
So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me
You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on
Chorus
You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on
Chorus
Now I'm lost, lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Now I'm lost, lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
