Staying Afloat

Yeah, like A&W Root Beer Float.

Sorry, I’ve not waxed my legs yet or any other parts. I might stay a hairy monster till Friday, when I’ve handed in my assignments.

This week is supremely depressing that I just wanna fall asleep at 8am first thing in class. I’m in bad need of coffee, and bad need of sleep. But I can’t have any, or I’ve not enough of any! L

I can explain. I’m allergic to coffee. When I drink it especially on an empty stomach, I have horrible tummy aches that makes me shit and throw up. So that explains why I’m such a sound sleeper while sitting upright in class, coz I don’t have any caffeine in my system. I swear, ever since the Raya holidays, I’ve become a sleeping monster and hairy one at it. But could be highly due to the period waiting around the corner. Nowadays, 12.30AM sleeping time is insufficient. It used to be able to keep me thankfully awake, but age seems to be catching up fast.

Ok, today I made a huge mistake of ta-pauing coffee for IDM lecture class. For that bag of coffee which I could not even finish halfway (coz I could feel the tummy ache setting in, even after eating a bun), it costs RM2. That is A LOT of money wasted. I couldn’t finish it that I had to pour probably RM 1.50 of it down the drain.

Second, I had to splurge RM70 on the advertising workshop for next Tuesday. Talk about budgeting and spending wisely. But we’ll be reimbursed with RM 40 from the college, so I’m waiting for that day. Third, oops, I haven’t returned the money to Katherine for Boon’s birthday cake. And for Boon, I can’t possibly let him pay for that ridiculously pricey and not-worth-it lunch at Old Town! Boon, my meal alone costs around RM 13 plus tax. I’m paying.

Spent so much in a day! And I had planned to spend RM 5 on food daily plus RM 2 on transport! WHAT THE HELL! All blown away. L I need money. I need a rich man. Plus, yesterday, I spent almost RM 18 on DVDs alone, and I still have to pay back Sudhan for the extra DVD he bought! OMG! And I spent RM 2 plus on breakfast and nearly RM 5 on lunch yesterday! My spending are spiraling out of control! This has gotta stop. I need to stick to the budget.

Seriously need a spending journal.

Well, I don’t exactly have a Happy List, but I will try for the sake of this week.

1.       MC presentation postponed to next next Monday.

2.      Going to attend the advertising workshop next Tuesday.

3.       Bag Shopping round two this weekend?

So far I can only muster three. Coz the reasons I should Not Be Happy outweighs the Should Be Happy list.

1.       I’ve overspent within these three days. Nearly RM 80 GONE. God help me!

2.      TWO ASSIGNMENTS DUE ON FRIDAY!

3.       Mum and my brothers back home facing huge financial crisis.

4.      Period’s coming soon.

5.       Been neglecting my appearance. As in not waxing for more than a month and sleeping with wet hair that turns into a mop the next day. Also becoming a late-night bather.

6.      Sleeping late these days gonna bring me to an early grave. I’m imagining cancer here.

Right. Gotta move. Can’t sit here all day reflecting on the negatives.
