Carol!ne is dead broke!

I need money $$$!

I'm dead broke now. Please, I'm broke not because after my Taiwan shopping trip k. I start taking lead the current unit we're renting now. My ex-houseleader is moving out, he just bought a new house! *clap clap* (wondering when will be my turn to own one ...) I have to buy over those electrical appliance from him, that's why I'M DEAD BROKE X_____X

And I know this dead-broke-situation is going to take me months to recover. No choice BUT Carol!ne being herself, she had already got some crazy saving tricks in her mind and she had already practiced some:

1. Cut down eating out.
I stocked up instant noodle, milo, 1 litre pack Dutch Lady UHT milk, cereals, fruit juice and my favorite Tiger sugar cracker! I can have different choices of the day for my dinner though I'm busy busy during weekdays. And during weekends when I get to have more time, I will cook myself pasta, porridge or pancake. It's not too bad right?! How bout my craving for sushi then? No worries, it solved :) Isetan KLCC start having 50% off for the sushi they have from 7.30pm onwards!

2. No more spontaneous shopping! Jot down what you need in a shopping list and only buy what in your list to avoid yourself from buying unnecessary stuffs. Being girl, I will always lost my mind, even grocery shopping, I'm trying hard to control myself from buying extra vegetables & fruits cause I know I just buy it for the sake of buying it, not like I can finish it. Damn me! Thus, it is my advice to everyone out there to list it down what you have and only shop for what you need, maybe at the end of month, before your pay then you wouldn't so "generous" in shopping. Bring a calculator if you need it :) For me, I will always take what I need and have a last round of checking whether do I need those before I go to cashier counter.

3. Cut down movie outing. Watch your favorite movie only on Wednesday, the movie day if you really want to throw yourself for a movie treatment. And bring your own junk foods & bottle water. I'm glad to be in LB to get my favorite drinks in 50 cents, that's why we LB-ers won't have soft drinks outside, we will have fresh juices instead :) One more option, download the movie you love and watch it at home, you can have your junks and soft drink while enjoying the movie at home too.

4. Spend your weekend at home. You can occupy your weekend with great activities too! You can go for a jog at the area you are staying, go for a swim at the pool in your condo, doing house keeping, enjoy what you love like reading a book or painting and you can even choose to sleep through your weekend just like ME! I'm proud with this ability so please don't call me during weekends if nothing important. You can choose to leave me a message and I will try to get back to you soonest possible if it is something important.

5. Stop buying magazinesssss & novels.
Argh I know me, myself. I spent quite some amount of money in buying magazines and novels every month. Solution: you can go to Kinokuniya (good environment!) & spend your day there reading whatever magazines/books/novels you love without paying single cents. Note: make sure you eat full full before going there, eating in KLCC there gonna cost you a bomb! What I do is, I will go after lunch, then I can buy my 50% discount sushi at Isetan before heading home. One stone kills two birds, I can read magazines/novels/books I like and solve my sushi craving too!

6. Selling out your 2nd hand clothes. Arghh I'm clearing out some space in my wardrobe to put in my new bought clothes from Taiwan. It's not because I'm lazy to unpack, just simply I need more space. I'm at the mid of clearing those unwanted clothes. [Benson, thanks for your offer, an extra wardrobe for free, it will just making my shopping sickness getting worse. I will keep shopping to make sure my wardrobe is fulled with clothes ><]

Here for today. Stay tune for move saving tricks! I know I will be able to go through this dead-broke-situation! Atza!

Be Thankful

This evening, my beloved cousin sister sent me a link and told me that her uncle passed away. I was shocked when I read about the news. I really can't imagine that this kind of accident would happened to people around me.

The time when she told me all these through Skype, I was like kept replying her "omg ... I really can't imagine that ...". Surprisingly she is stronger than what I thought, she was telling me not to think so much, life is still go on.

These few days, I think quite a lot, about ... everything. I realized when we getting older, you will see the other dimension of the life, it is not always follow the way you want it to be. If it does for you, you really need to be thankful. Life is unpredictable. It is so unpredictable till you have no hint what is going to happen next.

For me, I think I am pretty lucky. I know what I want and always get what I want. Of cause, when time passed, when things don't get your way, I learn to accept the fact that sometimes you will be disappointed with things happened around you. However, it doesn't matter, it make you immune. Just appreciate what you have, live life fullest =)

At upon of time, I was thought of giving up something I wanted so much (secret!) but I tell myself, it is glad that I have something I wanted so much. Put in the efforts and we shall wait for the results. This is the belief for me to continue to pursue what I wanted so badly.

My mom is not a career woman but a typical housewife that has her own thought [She is superwoman for me ;)]. She always tell me, "darling, taking things slower, step by step, what for you are pushing yourself so much, you should learn to smell the flowers around you" ...

A lot of people only realized how importance family meant to them when they went through certain tearful situation. YES, I did when I was secondary school. I used to be like any other teenagers that is so stubborn and will never listen to advices given till one day, my mom been hospitalized. I still remember clearly the time when she was crying and looking for me, she felt scared being alone ... I start to wake up from my naive behavior. I know I'm type of person that will never let myself regret, so I learn to view things from different angles, what's their standpoints and take advices as something for me to improve. And be thankful enough, this is the way how it shaped me today ;)

Thanks mommy & I will always love you. And my dad, plus everybody in family. Thanks God for me having such a great family. They will never selfish in giving their loves and cares. They are always be there whenever you need them. They are wonderful!

Thanks GOD :)
