♥ $50 a week ♥
1.16.2007
$50 a week is definitely enough. Provided I only spend it on meals. How much can a $50 per week get you? On average, a meal (even a foodcourt) will cost around $5. Putting aside that I don't usually eat breakfast, so I will have 2 meals a day. Equating to $10 a week, right?
So for five days, it will be $50 dollars, weekends stay home and rot.
So here you go. $50 a week.
I am one of those pathetic souls who get $50 a week and don't have the luxury to spend. You see, when I was out with Yeetern yesterday, I bought a hell load of things.
A shirt, a new crystal case for my phone, an audio plug, two watches and some junk food. All of those amount to less than $40.
YET
My mom complained that I spend ALOT. READ IT CAREFULLY, ALOT.
Eh hello. I bought all the cheaponana things and it's been ages since I had a new piece or clothing. WHY CAN'T I BUY. Whatever it's damn maddening.
For some reason, my mom is still living in her 60s 70s when one teensy weensy bowl of noodles costs only 20 cents by the filthy road of tofu street. Now? You can go to the most lork kor place and the cheapest you can find is $1 chicken rice which give you ABIT of shredded chicken with PLAIN rice.
I will survive on that, if she likes. But it still can't win over her 20 cents noodles.
Food aside, let's talk about bus fare. She was the one who stopped me from buying bus concession when the holiday started. All these while I've been feeding the stupid machine $10 notes every 3 days. Logical. Since each trip to and froth the city cost around $4. I live in pasir ris fyi.
I don't know what is wrong with her, THINKING that I travel ALOT.
Whenever we come to this issue, she will go on and on about her KAMPONG life. HELL! Isn't it the 21st century where pigs and chickens live in farms instead of wandering orchard roads and nicole highway?
Things have changed~ someone please wake her up. If GOD reads blogs, please let my mom dream of something that's OUT of kampong. Let her face the cruelty of society, where 20 cents noodles don't exist anymore, where bus fares as high as $2 per trip is considered average, where paying $20 for a shirt is considered a good deal.
Forget it. I think GOD won't read blogs. So it's pointless for me to go on.
Bottomline is, I'm NOT saying that $50 is not enough for me. I'm pointing out that my SAINT mother feel that $50 can get you a bungalow or something and I'm suffering like hell cos every single thing I buy needs to pass her customs.
Life is miserable. I'm poor and broke and I want a job. Should just quit school and work. If money is ALL that my family is after.
