Show me the money

I don't know why these few days I have the itch to shop. It's like I know I'm going phuket soon and it's better to save for that.

Somehow, that pair of heels is calling out to me! >.<

In any case, these few days I am not spending a lot on food because I've been eating at home. My maid so cute, she told me, "Mdm, you only eat tom yam, mee siam and lontong at home!"

AH...and xin zhou mee fen.

I have friends who have money woes, and I'm grateful to be without it. =) Well, at least not to such an extent where I have to think twice before choosing what I want to eat.

That's why I think it's such a luxury to be able to eat. I don't starve myself to remain thin, although given my determination, it can be done. However, I don't believe that we should starve ourself in a world plenty. That's just not right. HAHA....能吃是一种福气. You won't understand what I mean because we take it for granted. Perhaps my mum taught me more when she doesn't nag than when she is. Right now, she is taking liquids to sustain her body. Imagine yourself like that and think twice before putting that drumstick away.

Of course, no one is asking you gorge yourself like some pig. I'm just saying don't starve yourself for the purpose of diet because you never know when you'll regret taking that last bite.

Recently, a friend's friend passed away suddenly after a jet-ski accident in phuket.

Besides being less than 25 years old and in PHUKET, things like these makes you reconsider your outlook in life. I consider myself fortunate, that I'm close to death - not in a sick sense of a way like SAW - but that I get to learn from their lives and in their passing, we get to see the frailty of the human condition.

If we don't take lessons from someone's death, then that person would truly have died in vain - accident or otherwise.

Sad isn't it? to die and to be forgotten.

OK, this post is supposed to be about money. I don't know why it ended in death.

Then again, people die for and from money, maybe there's a link after all. HAHA!

I wanted to write about his death, about dieting, and about money woes. Somehow in my brain, the synthesis didn't quite work out and hence, resulting in this very very weird flow throughout the post.
