Saya rindu kat DIA. Agak-agak DIA rindu saya tak?
How cheapskate are you? If I could rate myself from 1 to 10, with 10 being very cheapskate, I would say, I am a 7. (I may be mild, because no, I don’t bring empty cups with me to Burger King, so that I can get free drinks and refill all I want. :D) I do, however, take the longest to order in restaurants, because I go through the menu page by page, checking out every detail and promos on the food, and spotting every price trick on the menu. My friends are usually embarrassed when I can stand there staring at the price board at KFC figuring out which is the better deal. Every cent counts to me. I like to make sure I get all my money’s worth. When we stay in hotels, I collect all the complimentary gifts without necessarily needing or using them. I just take them. Being environmental friendly, I don’t agree in using up the electricity or water, thinking I’ve paid for it, so I should use it as much as I want. So, instead of causing damage to the environment, I get my money’s worth from getting the free stuff they provide. I make a point to wake up to have the complimentary breakfast, even if it means I have to walk all by myself and sit all alone in my pjs. I don’t usually spoil myself with things. My parents are the ones who spoil me. But then again, I prefer to use the word manja than spoil. haha. I always think everything is expensive. I usually want something, but I will think about it over and over until I get bored of the thing I initially wanted and decide not getting it at the end unless someone else gets it for me without me asking for it. I try to save and think so much of the future of me that sometimes I forget the things in the present. If it’s possible, I want to work for my own wealth and security, without relying on my parents. But sometimes I forget to live the present. I have been very stingy with myself lately. I don’t eat out all that much although I can afford it, because I want to save so much. Last week, when one of my girlfriend ajak me to join her in the dance class thinking it would be fun to take on a new hobby to pass time, I denied her offer. Only having myself later thinking, should I just join and have fun a lil? I just don’t think I should spend my money on something I don’t really want. But, it would be fun spending on myself once in a while. My family thinks although they doesnt deny the fact that I am no doubt a cheapskate, I shouldn’t spend on something I don’t really want and that this is definitely not an act of cheapskate. Btol la kot.
ps, Yes, girlfriends, I am keeping this blog posted for you girls. It’s very convenient for all of us to keep in touch this way, since we’re all free at different times.
