$$

I stayed at home all weekend and didn't spend a single cent. This is because I let myself pay too much for the friday lunch. While I am pleased that I have stayed at home and hadn't spent a single cent, I still need to save money -- because I am a miser and I still haven't bought the MirrorMask/LOTR DVDs I'd promised myself with my pay last year. And at the end of this year I plan to buy more things: a guitar and a GOOD music-playing device -- complete with GOOD earphones. (I can't stand sloppy earphones.) And next year, after the A levels, I am going to work like a demon so I can afford a small cintiq. Why can I identify with every single damn character in the Great Gatsby (except for the racist stereotpyes and the drunken party yahoos), someone asks? $$, I reply.

Staying home all weekend not spending a single cent is nice, because I had to study anyway, but I missed the NUS open house because I decided I needed to brush up for tomorrow's Logic paper. I can crap my way easily through Paper 1 but the Logic paper usually takes me a day to get used to. Hopefully when I look at the twisty things my evil teachers have set for us tomorrow my mind won't draw a blank.

My mum still hasn't given me my weekly $$ yet, and I need it more than ever. Not that it was enough, but I can't get a job now. My grades would die. I'd die. And then, after everything is safely over and my body burnt into a little clay pot of ashes, my parents would kill me.

I need $$. You with all the hongbao money -- yes YOU -- sod off.

not going to Phantom of the Opera! There was only one ticket left and there was some trouble over it, alas. I'd decided not to go because of the $$ problem before that but the trouble really sealed it for me.

Miss you too. ENjoy your orientation.
