Cashflow 101

Played Cashflow boardgame with J, YK, SH and L today. Had heard of this game 5 years back but first time I'm playing it. It was so fun that we spent almost 7 hrs on it! This game is created by Robert T. Kiyosaki. It is an innovative educational cashflow board game that is designed to make the subject of accounting, investments and finance fun. Had learnt a little more on financial investment.... The objective of the game is to get out of the rat race by making your passive income more than your expenses. Think I should play it more often!

Back to Stone Age

Forgot to bring my hp out today.. was charging it last night and in my rush this morning, I had completely forgotten about it till I was in office. :( of all days to forget my phone!!! Friday!! What if he wanted to ask me out?! (although I know that chance is v.v. slim....) To make things worse, the day had to start with a super early and boring meeting that lasted till noon.

Went to the National Museum in the afternoon.. This is my second visit to the museum after it was reconstructed. Went through the History Gallery where I learned a little more about Singapore's history. There was a stone banquet exhibition as well where the stones look like real food. Yum yum! Will try to post some photos if I am free. I'm too tired to do that now. There was also another Living Gallery where the local food culture is shown. The interesting bit is that the moment we stepped in, my friend and I thought that was a cafe cos there was a nice aroma in the air! hee! :p

And I finally collected my NDP tickets. This is the first time I tried to ballot for the tix and I was lucky to have gotten 4 tix! (^^,) must rem to thank WL for sending the link!

Having walked so much today, I indulged myself in Godiva Dark Mint Chocolate blended. >.<
But I find the taste average only. Well, the drink does have some bits of dark choco but it is not as rich as I thought it would be. Too bad I forgot to take a photo of the drink before gobbling it cos I dun think I would spend $8 again for the drink! (unless I'm feeling rich and sinful!)

Looking back at the day...... Think I had not have such a wonderful time with me, myself and I... It is not a bad idea to be uncontactable for a change!

Decisions

How many decisions do you make in a day?? What time shall I wake up? What to eat for breakfast? Should I pair my skirt with a pink or white top? What should I do when I step into the office? Where to go for lunch? Shall I buy that extra pair of shoes??........... The list goes on and on..... decisions small and big do make a difference in your life........ it is a choice that you have to make every single second of your life........ good or bad decision? I think there is no good or bad..

At that point in time when you make that decision, it is a good decision. Since you made that decision, it must be good. It has to be good. Otherwise, you would not have made that decision, would you? Some people can make up their mind very fast. Me? Friends often say I always take ages to decide....... Well....... I do agree...... Perhaps I am more cautious?? But there are times when I am irrational as well..... Perhaps I do not want to be hasty and regret in my decision later? But there are times whereby I do think that I did not make a right choice even after much consideration....... Or maybe because this is typical of a Libra?? I've read that people born under the sign Libra are often weighing the pros and cons.... that's what the scales are for, isn't it?? hehe.

One of the toughest decisions I am considering recently........... is whether to go for Lasik or not...... You see, I am severely myopia... 900R 1150L with 125astig each. I can't see your facial expression clearly even if you are sitting at arm's length.. I have been wearing glasses since Pri 1 and I thought how good it would be to be able to see clearly without aid....

But not all are suitable for lasik surgery so I decided to go for a pre-lasik assessment to see if I am a good candidate. Just choosing the place to do lasik and who to do it for you took me quite some time..... In the end, I chose to go to the hospital instead of the private clinics. I chose a senior consultant cos they should have more experience right? The doc told me that I am a very good candidate for the surgery as I have very thick cornea. In case you do not know what lasik is, well, it is a surgery to correct your eye sight. The doc will create a flap in your cornea then use laser to burn away some of your cornea to shape it to the "perfect" shape to attain perfect eyesight. The flap will then be placed back in position and left to heal by itself. This roughly summaries the process in layman's terms. Back to where I was saying.... The doc said that I have thick cornea which is good cos they need more to cut back as I have high myopia and astig.... but the doc only gives me 70% chance of attaining good eyesight without the need for specs.... I was like, what?? only 70%?! I do understand that they do not want me to have too high expectations, but then it seems that she was trying to dissuade me from the surgery..... So now, I'm still considering..... (-_-")

Jap Class

Had not enjoyed my jap class like today in a long time...... yep. This is my 6th year in the school. Had thought that jap was an interesting and nice sounding language, so that intrigued me to learn it. And I had nothing to do anyway. At least there's something to occupy my time, rather then just going through the daily grind. The lessons started off quite well initially as elementary japanese was really simple. But then as I progressed, the grammar started to get more complicated and the amount of vocab that I need to memorise started to pile up. Gradually, going to jap class every week became just part of my routine as well.. But since I had started, I thought I might as well continue till the end. So that's why I'm still here...

But back to where I am now..... Today had to give two presentations. Yes, two. I had purposely missed last week's presentation as I thought I can "siam" the presentation by being late... Alas, 先生　told the latecomers to present it the following week. Hence I had to do two today... At least I was prepared for one of them. The other was impromptu. Nevertheless, 先生 said my 発表はよくできました。Hehe. And that brightened up my night!

Anyway, did i forgot to mention that this year there is no　作文？はい！今年は最後の授業なので、試験はないし、作文もない！やっぱり嬉しかった！

Princess Sotong

Just found out how to change the time for the blog. So you can see I'm not that IT savvy.... either that or I'm so blur, that's why I am Sotong Princess! This is a nick given to me by my colleagues. Actually I dun understand why they call me sotong too.... I dun think I'm that blur... But there is someone even more blur than me, so she's the Queen and I'm the Princess! Hehe.

I was writing my first post at 1145pm and when I am done, it is imprinted 8am pacific time! haha. but at least now it is corrected to singapore time le!

Venturing out of my Ivory Tower!

At long last! Finally got down to start my very own blog. Had wanted to start on this when I was idling at home last year..... to keep in touch with XX while she's away in the US with her hubby.... But then......

So, finally I've been inspired by a friend's blog i read today to stop procrastinating! Actually, I used to keep a diary on-and-off during my uni days when I was mugging at home.. Needless to say....... that was not very often! (considering the number of days I was really pouring at my books! :P) And that diary sort-of died-ed after I graduated...

Anyway, I used to like to write.... I thought that writing is very therapeutic and I think that sometimes, I can express myself better in verse than prose.... So, here's my attempt in writing again! I shall try to keep to it as regularly as I can. >.<
