The worst is over.

The account doubled itself today. The older Mr Chua has returned me a 7 months loan, which i actually thought is gone for good. Well that's a big boost & relief & the lift that i badly needed. 7 months ago, that was still a reasonable amount for me to lend him, but now this same amount is massive man. At least to me lah.

But the urgency to save is still there. I need to balance the books. The reasons that i got myself into this situation is my inability to balance it. I am overspending every months. Eating into savings until no more left. Thanks goodness my father finally returned me. BUT I STILL NEED TO SAVE. I need to learn to cope with what i have, if not, it's just a matter of time that history will repeat itself. The last time was 3 years ago? 80 dollars left. I will not forget that any time soon. But this time is really a painful lesson, i have never thought it will happen again. And i will not let it happen again.

Hmmm well some may wonder why i do maths with my own father? My parents are divorced. So he is not supporting me anymore, i also not supporting him as he can cope with his pensions, his rents (rent out part of his flat) and his salary. I might in the future lah, but now he knows my mother needs more of my salary, and unable to support him. But he mah, same as my sister (oh ya same genes), they spend a lot on smoking and 4D. In his peak, he was smoking 80 sticks a day and drinks a lot. But now mah, after knowing he got diabetics early this year. He quit drinking. But then mah, smoking cannot quit, he's smart enough to know he cannot stop smoking after smoking for 40 years. He only cut down to about 20 a day. I dunno what smoking does to one's body, but so far what i heard and know, long time heavy smokers quit smoking = heart attack, cancer, stroke not long after they are smoke free. So i encourage my dad to continue smoking. Opps. Hahaha.
Anyway he returns me also better, because i can save for rainy days. Better than he smoke or buy 4D.


And the most impt announcement though i know it's pretty slow coming

Yes i can walk liao. Though with a speed of tortise. And still with a limp. But at least can do without my crutches.
I forgot to bring my crutches while going for dinner. Hahaha. Hmm ok lah, purposely try try one.

But still not there yet. Still need a lot of practice before going out proper. And still need to learn how to climb stairs. Slowly one step at a time.
