days of gloom.

so there hasn't been any good news at all.... 1st colleague's mom colon cancer relapsed, having black stool = blood stool, colon has a hole because of the aggressive stage 4 cancer and I don't think she'd last this year 2nd colleague's mom sick with heart condition, went for heart surgery came out with complications, now she'd need to go for another surgery for a pace maker. Was very worried because I thought you'd need to stop the heart prior to that but I guess i watched too much drama, hope all's well 3rd colleague's diagnose with cancer, going op today 4th colleague's diagnose with cancer too, stage 2 early stage so should be fine 5th colleague's hubz diagnose with thyroid cancer, early stage but still... Friend's adopted cat pass away after spending thousands on treatment Friend's stray cat pass away after spending hundreds on treatment Friend of a friend's mom has cancer, refuse to sell their condo to fin

Come Back Home ~ ~ ~

The 2nd season of 3 meals a day Fishing Village brings Cha Seung Won and Yoo Hae Jin back to Manjae Island, the moment they stepped into their residence they sang come back home ~ Guess that's how i feel or how i'd feel in less than 2 months time. 15,000km and 12hrs apart, never felt more like home. Well this year wouldn't exactly be autumn yet, still hope to see the changing of colors, god how i love the weather and amazing color contrast, simply ridiculous and romantic ^^ . There's really not much wants, maybe the usual 1 day shopping at Vaughn mills, shore fishing at lake Ontario, star gazing (pretty gh3y for 2 doods to be doing that) checking out some farms or plantation perhaps? Just feeling grateful my leave for approved and that I can be back again... 2016's May was practically a dud... landed, slept, slept, flew back.... Counting down T-53 days to boarding the plane and another day traveling, why still so long ahhhh!!!

Budget cut

Just as the prophecy goes, I'll be running thin on dough this year. My income has increased from S$5,050 --> S$5,675 after the usual 20% CPF deductions excluding income tax, I should have more savings but doesn't seem to really work out LOL. I did buy a couple of nice meals, spend a bit on the family, eat out a lot more and that's about it but my savings has been shyte. I've always pride myself to have the freedom to spend on food without ever having to think but I guess I have to go back to square one now if I want to ever move to Toronto keke. S$1000 loan repayment to mom S$800 household expenses to mom S$300 transport fare including uber S$300 cable tv, fiber internet and mobile bills S$1,500 food and misc expense S$500 project toronto savings S$500 insurance related S$150 accural for income tax ======= S$5,050 I still should have a nice S$625.00 which I've spent traveling to Korea and Penang on vacation keke. Of the expense above, I sho

Superboi ------> Super Villain ~

Class monitor, class rep, class president, school prefect, model student, singa award ~ that's the kid I used to be. These days I just keep telling people to quit being naive and stay in fairy tales. Don't expect politicians to be just, don't expect bosses to groom you, don't expect volunteer services to pour their hearts out. Those are ideologies taught in school, not morals and values to be uphold in the real world. It's the same as the bible, quran, sutras ... just like journey to the west, it's an endless meaningless journey, like perfection is, they exist as a blackhole or pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, they don't exist. The ideology exist to help those in need, those that lack faith and belief to carry on living so quit being so naive ~ That's what I told a 27 year old and a 39 year old recently. Wow, what a change, never had I guess i'd become who I am but I just did ~  #life

Phase

Phase of #LIFE  I know we all grow up, age, get sick and die, that's the natural law/rule of #life, but we jolly well do not all go through the same route right? whether a not we get the toilet paper, walk down the isle, have sleepless nights... Yet I can't help but notice such similar phase... We not only learn alphabets but understands what As Bs Cs meant We not only learn how to add subtract multiply divide numbers but knew what they ultimately means We not only learn the value of money but the "magic" or "hax" and power it entails We start to attend Weddings We start to attend baby showers We start to discuss about parents being sick and how or where we should take them We start to discuss how to take care of the sick, dying or the dead We start to attend funerals We start to host funerals This strange thought came to mind when coincidentally 2 colleagues within the same office, though one has already left, their moms are sick.
