Read the stuffs that Shereen aka TAO (missed calling you this back in school) posted on her blog & I shall give my comments here since her tagboard keeps running away.
With regards to your request for tips on how to minimise your spendings, I think most have already been said by you while Saggy's suggestion is only applicable to ridiculous people like herself. She said she keeps on spending ALL her $$ but it never seems to run dry. So she actually doesn't need to save any money.
Anyway, there's this other bit that may help you- don't pamper your Rocky doggy too much. I noticed that u dressed him up as if it'll cost him his modelling career if he was to stay nude as he is.
Well, I have a pet too & no doubt the expenses dedicated to my cat very well surpassed my own, as the price of her food itself is like whoa!..excluding her shampoo (realised that I didnt wet her as often as I should), powder (same for this), vet appointments & whatnots. I ever thought of getting her a bed & even a leash and some other accessories but at the end of it, those are the stuffs that I'll buy for my cat if money isnt an issue. So like you've said, recognise your needs & postpone fulfilling your wants if you know you're gonna be cash-strapped. Of course this is superhard to do, cos temptations always set in, though it's very possible.
Next, Botox.
Weighing the pros & cons of Botox, I think the latter beats the other. But if you think otherwise & you can afford the cost of surgery and treatment, by all means. Just bear the consequences if things go wrong or its not up to your expectations.
Some people didnt (or have not) realise that they're already attractive without having to plaster their face or having those rainbow-coloured hair. They do these changes mainly because it's the in-thing or a must-do to be accepted by 'peers', not because they disapprove of their own imperfections. We have to look good, yes. But there are other less painful & inexpensive ways of doing it. Being pretty ultimately comes from within. Say, after going through the hassle of Botox & next day fate brought you into an accident that requires skin-grafting. Is your Botox worth it?
As there'll always be a bunch of conservative beings voicing out their thoughts or rather, complaining abt such stigma, transforming their way of thinking to that of a liberal soul, wont be as effective as how we want it to. So, everyone is spared for their own opinions...
Maia Lee- One hot Momma?
I've heard that she already has a kid out of wedlock, so not surprised if she bears another or as many as she wants without getting married. If she can afford to give proper upbringing to her children herself, why not? But at the end of the day, its the children that'll be the victims. Growing up to put up with the shame, insults & also finding the answer as to who their natural father really is plus other legal matters that may surface. Why complicate your life? Giving birth isnt a dare game. Like, "Eh I dare you to get pregnant & give out a baby from your 10cm passageway." And after nine months...."Tadaaa! I did it! So lemme spin the bottle now." Just get hitched to the love of your life & bore him his child. Easier said than done but hey, it's THE wise thing to do, no?
Ok so the start of semester's being postponed.
Postponing it for few weeks is still alright,
but 5 frickin' months?!
Not even an email sent to inform students about this postponement?
Nasib baik aku call. Grrr.
So need a job uhhhhhhh.
Another setback.
Will only get a taste of new bed early next month instead of last week.
wtfh.
Back hurts so bad already plus the itch's back.
Oh well.
Hope things get better.
Yippeeee!
It's raining it's pouring!!
Rain rain, I love the rain!
Chilly chilly, I love the chilly weather!
Muka aku muka coupon.
Other drivers approached, asking for parking coupons at Geylang.
I sold 6 purple ones.
Hah.
Sofabed's coming in two weeks' time.
Yeahh.
Time to varnish itu pintu.
Hausnye.
Lain org lain ragam.
Based on this fact, one can't say "All girls are the same/All guys are the same".
Adapt to changes & make the best of what you have.
Modified lyrics of Ku Pohon Restu Ayah Bonda by Mamat.
Duhai Mama.....
Duhai Abang-abang.....
Dengarlah rayuan anak-adikmu....
Yang di depan mata......
Tanpa ku sedari....
Air liur ku mengalir....
Ternampak makanan2....
Yang sedap-sedaaaap.....
Betapa daku gembira....
Jika dapat duit raya.....
Di pagi mulia....
Hari raya.....
Chorus:
Kan ku sujud di perutmu....
Bila kita bertemu....
Kan ku cium tanganmu...
Ku pohon duitmu.....
Oh maafkan daku....
Kerana dah tak betul.
Boy: ....So I dinner with my friends k.
Girl: (Silent)
Boy: Why the silence?
Girl: What were you expecting me to reply? Just 'OK'? You know I don't like to waste my messages.
Boy: I was asking you if I can go dinner with my friends.
Girl: Oh, that was a Question? Haha. So, what if I say you can't?
Boy: Alah....can ah....
Girl: I knew it. Just go lah k since what I say or think aren't applicable.
Boy: Haha. Thanks Dear......
Ok so I did some clearing&cleaning up of my room (not much of a diff in the end though).
Was supposed to look for a pair of maroon Kurung,
but as I ransacked the wardrobe,
everything else fell out & thus, the clearing of clothes.
Seriously in need of a more spacious wardrobe,
'cos current piece is meant for kids.
I had to get big boxes from Ikea plus 2 separate containers,
to store the junks.
Planning to revamp the room,
Rid the current kid's set to make space for a new sliding door wardrobe & a simple sofabed or something like that.
Just these 2 pieces & my room wil be complete.
Yes, I don't need a dressing table or bedside table,
at least not yet.
Maybe once I'm a wife.
Presenting.....MUA COLLECTZION....of jeans & tudungs.
^Jeans that I've yet to wear, once the fats on the thighs&tummy are shed.
^Rarely-worn jeans & a jeans-skirt.
^Worn at home. Uh-huh, I do wear jeans at home. Anything the matter?
^Out of the many, only these 2 are worn frequently, but washed seldomly.
Hot topic of conversation now- How's your preparation for Raya?
For those who're thinking of asking this,
I'll just let u guys know here.
One, I swear I did not realise that only 10 days of Ramadhan is left.
Felt like it has only been a week of fasting.
Maybe 'cos I didn't get to welcome this Holy month, 'MC' for the 1st few days.
Two, Hari Raya celebration has been on the low since the previous year.
Of course, Muslims who have performed the sacred duties of the 3rd Pillar of Islam (fasting, worship, reading the Quran, purifying one's behaviour & charity), deserve to celebrate the triumph over a-month long period of Ramadhan.
Well, I'm just looking forward to gather with the seldom-met relatives,
'Cos u know, the excitement isn't like what it had been during the hey-days.
So, preparation is minimal.
As in, not doing much of a Raya-shopping.
Mum made my Baju Raya while I do the baking of cookies.
Left with some cleaning up & that's about it.
YOU know, it's advisable to not debate about sensitive issues, like religious matters.
If you choose to be ignorant,
SO BE IT.
It's between You & HIM.
There's no need to question on what has been specified.
Worrywarts are the saddest people.
I'm one of those patheticos.
I hate it.
But can't help it.
Even a teeny-weeny bit of lone-time that i have,
will be devoted to thinking of craps that are, well...bunch of CRAP.
Thank you Mr. James Patterson,
for keeping me occupied with your excellent storytelling.
Step-by-step.
Selamat menyambut Ramadhan Al-Mubarak to all Muslims all over the place.
May He bless our ibadah & guide us in our jihad nafsu.
Kalimat yang terindah adalah ALLAH.
Lagu yang merdu adalah ADZAN.
Kompas yang terbaik adalah AL-QURAN.
Senam yang sihat adalah SHOLAT.
Diet yang sempurna adalah PUASA.
Kebersihan yang menyegarkan adalah WUDHU.
Perjalanan yang indah adalah HAJI.
Khayalan yang baik adalah INGAT DOSA & TAUBAT.
Marhaban Ya Ramadhan!
Selamat berpuasa.
Mohon maaf zahir & batin.
You know, sometimes when you're just feeling down, confused, scared, stressed etc.,
diggin' your nostrils can be very therapeutic?
`........Tadaaaaa!
The cooking-illiterate chef's first ever dish- Nasi Ayam Goreng Keropok.
=))
^Managed to climb up to the top of the 'ball-web' despite a sprained ankle. 
^ni muke orang minyak dah penat
^Yeah, that's tight.
^eh twin, don't you think there's some lil teeny weeny bits of resemblance between us?
^It's not picture perfect, but the idea is.
Has it ever occurred to you that you may not see your old folks ever again at any minute?
Some are fortunate to still have both around.
Others are not so.
Have we really fulfilled our responsibilitIES as a son/daughter to our mother/father?
What have we all done lately?
Chasing wealth? Turning home into our own budget hotel? Going all out to please others but our own parents?
To those who've found true love (whatever this means) or getting hitched,
always busy with wedding preparations? Only think of that big day while everything else is a blur/non-existent?
Won't you guys be spending the rest of your lifespan with your partner?
So why don't you do good to your parents, make them happy while you have the chance to NOW?
Or just waiting for something abominable to happen to them and only then will you come back to your senses?
Let's cogitate.....
