For once after so long, i feel like a beggar. The monthly cashflow from the dearest hospital stopped for this month and i felt cheated by it. I could not do much but to scrimp. It was hard getting used to it. It used to be spending what I wanted, paid all my bils on time, treated my family and friends when I feel like it and not cry when i dropped 10 bucks into the drain. But now, my bank is almost empty and I had to make the right choices when Im going out. Walking to the MRT instead of the bus, eating Top One bread from the convinience shop instead of Macs, chill out at kopitiam instead of Starbucks,Geylang Lorong 12 instead of Ngee Ann freelancers and such. It was all back to square one, where life in Ngee Ann was about scavanging people's leftovers and wearing my army shirts cuz i had no decent shirt at home. It needs some getting used to, but im not complaining or whining, cuz ive been there, done that, and to me, that is something that im proud of, to be able to survive the financial challenge.
