Old but good song. I stopped listening to a lot of the new songs because they seem to carry no meaning at all :( Old school songs are the best.

The new semester has begun! Still excited over the fact that school has resumed. The 2 months of break was sufficient! I learnt many valuable lessons and a little more of myself. The first month of break was to take care of the house and my brother while my parents were away. Truly felt one of the most lonely times because there was no nagging and mum was not around to talk to. Cleaning the house was alright but the marketing was a bother because i was a loss at what to buy apart from snacks, HAHAHA! Immature 20-year-old.. *waves* The following month was spent being a couch potato really.

Anyway, started the semester with a lot of mojo within me but it will definitely die down a little when the assignments come in :( The need to read too many things will demotivate me but i'll try to fight that off!

Ok, that's not the point of this entry.

Lately, i've been more mindful about what i spend on because of my deteriorating amount in my bank account (no, i was not a victim of the DBS card fraud lol). Seeing the number decrease has made me quite sad because i thought back of the 3 months that i slogged and earned quite a bit that made me really happy (apart from the handful of experiences). Argh! I've spent mostly on food though. I don't go for buffets and fine dining but buying a few things everyday, the amount accumulates to a lot! I also started to 'boycott' certain brands due to their unethical practices, to be honest. Ever since my law tutor (in Poly) showed us clips of exploitation and other things such as animal testing, i began looking into it and check for 'hidden secrets' before purchasing something. You may say that i will not make a difference because there are millions and billions out there who are not exposed to such details or are exposed to but doesn't care for it; I do believe though that if i start and spread it, it might actually come to an end. Sure, i bought things from certain brands like that before but since i'm aware of their practices, i think i should stop.. I actually informed mum and told her to stop buying certain products too :/ It's your choice to make a difference. I don't like forcing people but i try my best to explain and hopefully leave them to ponder on the issue..

Ah, i'm out of words now. I think i'm getting old! Definitely feeling the effects... So tired now!

PS: Can people please stop saying FML? Not only does the F word make me sick to my stomach, there are people who are far worse off than you are. How dare you say FML. I find it absolutely ridiculous that people say "FML I CHIPPED A NAIL" or "FML PERSON IN FRONT OF ME FARTED". Sure, it sucks but you won't die from little things like that. Once expressed my disgust to my brother and he too hates it. Seriously people? Do you know that there are people far far worse off?
PPS: Yes, we work hard and earn money so we deserve to indulge in luxury. But don't start saying things like you have $0 in your bank account (especially if you're the type who spends on luxury goods when you only earn peanuts). One should know how to manage their money and spend on things that they really need. And once again, there are people worse off. This is one of the reasons why i'm proud that God makes us pay zakat and makes us fast. To remind us to be grateful of what we have and to stay humble. What you have, others may not. What others have, you may not. But God is fair.

Bottomline: Humanity in this age need to be more grateful for the things that they have AND the things the don't.

God knows best. If He thinks you shouldn't have it, it's because it might be detrimental to you.

Ok, people can start hating me now.

, osn.
