These are NOT ordinary biscuits...

Some people tasted and said it is tasteless. I first ate when my house has plenty of them. At first, yes.... tasteless... These biscuits are made by my mum, she said these biscuits are good to take, less in sugar, butter, etc. and yet very nutritious, it maybe a bit tasteless, but you wont get bored of eating them.... So I thought, 'ok...maybe I just take some to Sg'.

Surprisingly, that is not the first and final time I bring them over here. The one in the picture, given to me maybe 2 weeks ago? But look at how much left?

These biscuits are never in the kitchen, but they just next to my bed. Sometimes I just take them when I'm too lazy to cook or to go outside for a meal. But most of the time I'll just eat them when I 'feel' like eating them.

My mum called me this morning...i mean yesterday morning, to remind me to take care of my health, she was concern of why am I always cooking instead of eating outside. She told me don't just keep thinking of saving money, must eat good meals and fruits.

This is the first time somebody reminded me not to just focus on saving money, all the while people keep telling me I should stop wasting money.

When I was in uni, I can easily spend a lot, especially going supper, because of rushing for assignments, preparing for exams, but sometimes money can just disappear without knowing how they got disappeared.

The moment I got my first official pay, really 'jia lat'.... If that is the nature of a quantity surveyor, I have nothing to say. But everything I do, there are always simple calculations in my mind, something like.... balance that I have, divided by number of days before next payday, should I? I believe I had set a good target for myself for my own financial planning. Saving more than 50% of my income is something I must hit every month, 70% will be tough but it doesnt mean impossible. Therefore I'm very very concern about how much I should allocate for additional items, if I were to spend on each of these item, what shall be the consequences. If I can just delay some of my plans and put them in next month's list, will that be better? Or it will be best not having them in the list at all? These are something I think of, everyday.

When I decided to come over here, I must make sure I wont go back one day empty handed. I ran away from Malaysiaku because I knew at this age, I still have time and energy to run, of course I'm also curious of the world outside Malaysiaku. But one thing I know, if I could just save a little today, I could actually spend a little lesser time in the bloody place. I will definitely return, after I suck enough of these dollars...

So every time I eat these biscuits, I remember this.
