wx told me last night that her pay was in. i went hurray-ing until my transaction for my phone bill went unsuccessful. the problem lies in me, presuming my pay is already in. luckily its paying using the SAM machine and but buying things from vendors, if not i will ban myself from the shop for at least a week due to the embarrassment!
then my anxiety rose. how come my pay wasn't credited?
this got me worried for the night. i forced myself to bed, because i know the next time i open my eyes the pay will be in. haas, a silly way of reassuring myself.
probably true to the point i got up around 5, then 6 again, and finally 7. can't seem to have a peaceful slp with the dumb thought weighing on my head.
the atm was temporarily down. what a coincidence. i have to find another atm. damm.
the figures made me smile. instantly i thought that being a DT isn't that bad at all. (
note, its just an instaneous thought)
i thought i would go crazy swipping my card on my shopping spree. like a person straved for weeks and finally now, has a chance to eat to his fill in a buffet.
but no, i didn't splurge. the things i bought was either for others or items that were added to my wishlist a month ago.
i realised - the month of 'poverty' taught me the value of money. it trained me to think because during the 'famine' period, i learnt to differentiate the needs and wants. the needs e.g. meals and transport came first, that aside, i have not bought anything for myself.
especially when the money i carry were from others' generousity of loan. i came to know that everyone needs somebody in time of downs and i appreciated that in my case, the somebody are my family and friends, namely mom, xiaoxin and jing.
only when u are in the worst state, would u understand the humane and warmth of relations the past generations have been yakking, the civics and moral education have been trying to put through.
now i reflected on myself, actually the wants can come without and i will still be fine.
enough said, hope i won't revert to my old ways. :)
