Girl Next Door

Friday, April 07, 2006

For a start, I am just an average girl next door trying to kill some time with writting. This is my first official blog here and I can't wait to get started. In fact this is not my first time writing blogs. I have started one in my friendster not too long ago. Here is what I have wrote for a start...

26.04.06: Reality bites..

"How's your trip?" This was the first question all the people that I met asked today. Well, my trip is fine and I enjoyed it a lot. "Back to reality" that's what I've said. Today is the first day I am back to work after 2 weeks on holiday. *Sigh*..... Anyway, I guess I will be extremely busy for the next few months. Filings, deadlines and bla bla bla.

I must never disagree more that life has been kind to me all these years. I am happy (But of course with some hiccups) and I do not have any commitment at all. I really thank my lucky star for that. However, moving forward I can see that there will be a lot of things that I have to stand on my own. I guess I have to be mature enough to differentiate from what I want to what I need.

I was doing my shopping the other day @ one of the departmental store in Melbourne. I came across a pair of beautiful stilettos. I love it so much that I told myself that I must have it. But when I looked at the price, I was shocked and hesitated. *Gosh*... guess what? AUD200!!! And it is almost RM600 here. I can't afford it definitely. Thus, there I go walked out of the store and wandered away.

If this was few years back, when I was less mature, I would have just grab it and pay without giving it a second thought. But now this is not the case anymore. I finally decided that this is not what I really want. I need to build up my financial status first before indulging myself into these luxury items. I guess people need to grow up and it's my time now.

Come to think of it, I still have 6 pairs of new stilettos chuck somewhere in my house. And how many pair of stilettos do I still need? At the end of the day, what is a pair of expensive stilettos as compare to a growing bank account? Right?
