time = money

wow, this is the 4th blog entry in 2 days, i'm a highly efficient blogger :p well i guess cos i only get to come out on the weekend and during the weeks i'll store up my thoughts so when i come out i UNLEASH THE POWERRR. hahaha. sif got power.

anyway. i was just thinking about how much i value money now. The value of money has certainly dropped for me after i started earning it (strangely) For example, last time if i had to spend 10 dollars on.. anything. let's just use food as an example. I'll be like.. NO WAY! like maybe once in a blue moon i do?
But now 10 dollars on a dessert (not even a meal) is nothing. Like.. ok lor just enjoy. shiok. kaching. money spent.

And, i value time ALOT ALOT more too! i think if you ask any NSF he'll give you the same answer - What is the most valuable thing to you now? He'll say TIME!!!! or maybe in a different form, like 'weekend!!' or.. 'bookout!!' which all equates to free time from army.

For instance, i wouldn't even hesitate a single second to spend 5-6 bucks just to save 10-15 minutes of travel time. (e.g. i just took a $5.40 cab from sgoon mrt to home just now. saved about 10 minutes)
Yea that was a little dumb and extravagant but HEY time is precious and i'm lazy to walk too. i'm so gonna enjoy a freaking slow and relaxed pace of life when i ORD from army. i shall take days off when i just ... sit at the beach and watch the waves come crashing in. and tan. hahaha.

It's horrible isn't it. life in singapore is so fast paced. trains come every 5-8 minutes and people still complain, when in other countries it's more like every 30 minutes. even worse, everyone jams up at the sides of the train doors to hurriedly get into the train. And even those who dont wanna do this will be peer-influenced by everyone else and do it
(i mean, if you're waiting to board the train and everyone squeezes in front of u u ARE gonna get stuck outside when the door closes)

on a side note, i realise i'm quite girly! ok well.. i found myself feeling extremely contented and happy with the knowledge that i had so many new clothes to wear (about 8 new tops and 2 new jeans). I think soon i will buy more . haha. after i get my shoes. anyone wanna go queensway with me?

ok, i'm off to utilize my TIME to play some warcraft before i eat shower and rush to book in. This will be my first time travelling to army camp by myself (i got a lift from a friend last week) so.. i have no idea how to get there. as in i know but it's not for sure. hope i dont' get lost!
