The state of my bank balance is atrocious! I mean.. I barely spend lavishly but i have nothing to put aside at the end of every month. I'm lucky not to be in debt most of the time. And I admit, i usually fall prey to the "pay minimum amount" option on my credit card statement. This is ridonkulous! A person would think a degree holder with a somewhat stable job like mine would be able to afford these so called luxuries in life but NOPE, all lies. You know when you were small your mom used to tell you that if you study hard and if you do well in exams, you'll be rich and famous? Not the whole story. She didn't tell you that you'd be well into your mid life and with no time to spend it all by the time that actually happens. In the mean time, you have to tuck yourself in and get comfortable living below the poverty line.

Life sucks. Deal with it!

Long Beach

Had another impromptu trip to the beach; Gathered 10 of us and lugged our asses across the Karak highway and then across the sea to get to Perhentian Kecil. So random but usually the most random trips turn out to be the best kind! The weather was super duper sunny in the afternoon, albeit a bit wet at night but it didn't dampen our spirits lol! Sunbathed, swam in the sea, snorkelled with sharks and tortoises and drank our sorrows away.

Perhentian Kecil is lovely!

Gag!

LOLOLOLOLLLL medical 9gag joke. LOVES IT!

Arty!

Kinda late but i'm finally a proud owner of a gorrrgeoussssss turqoise blue arty ring :) Obviously having one is not enough! NOT ENOUGH (like cyrus in Gossip Girl haha)

Le sigh..

Things are really complicated at this age when it comes to men and relationships. When we were younger, everything was so much easier. One could just go with the flow, take things as they come without a care in the world. Now there's the additional pressure of time (tick tock!) because age catches up and relatives and friends start asking the inevitable question to couples who are unmarried, let alone us single ones.

"There must be something wrong with them that they can't find anyone. What else could it be!"

Anyone?

But it's not just about finding someone, anyone, anymore. You meet people, yes there's the physical attraction, but then there's the whole issue of chemistry, spark, compatibility, sustainability, the list goes on for ages. Meeting people is so easy. Falling in love, or at least lust, is easy. Taking the plunge to commit, now that's a whole different ballgame all together.

I suppose this rambling is stemmed from the fact that i'm currently single, dating more like it, and i don't know what i want. One corner is rooting for the whole relationship hooplah but the other is a whole cloud of haze; is it too early, is it the right person, is the feeling even reciprocated in the first place... Gosh you'd think we were still in high school with the kind of things that go on in my head.

But i guess it takes more time (TIME!) to figure out the complicated subtractions, multiplications and divisions in my head. Time which we don't have much of to begin with, but time that i need to take to make clear and calculated decisions that would be life altering.

Can't we just all go back to being children again -__-

Bali

So the trip went on, albeit very last minute and with no planned itinerary. Very good weekend away indeed ;)

Denpasar

I've just been prepositioned for an impromptu trip to Bali this weekend. Should I?
