until this is over

I've got some juicy insider news to share about FF brand and RR brand. But, I can't. What if someone in the company chances upon my blog? There are so many girls in early 20s in the company. Very very high possibility. Sigh. No FREEDOM!!

I am broke. Thus my present for my mommy was rather cheap. :) Picked 3 lovely underwear for her. wahahhahaa... Couldn't bring myself to say stuff like "happy mother's day" or "happy birthday" though. Sigh.. What a lousy daughter. I would call her. Would ask her to eat. Would look for her on these occasions, but I just cannot deliver such 'greetings'.

I am broke. And I mean real broke. When I was a student, I had a lot of money to spare. I went travelling, splurged on clothes and restaurant meals and take taxi almost everyday. I even splurge quite a lot on my ex bfs e.g. paying a part for our holidays. Now that I am working, I am ironically poorer than before.

I might as well just say it. Though it's something quite humiliating..

My salary after CPF deduction was real pathetic. To make matters worse, they delayed my pay. :) I am actually only getting my salary tomorrow -- 9 May 2005. Yesterday after work, I was on my way to take train to JJ's house. I realised that my EZlink had no more value. So I went to top up when I realised that I don't even have 10 bucks to top up my card. Stood there staring at the top up machine with many thoughts flashing through my mind. Never worked so hard and gave up so much freedom and time for any work before. Despite the past 1.5 months of hard work, I actually landed myself in this predicament. I almost burst out crying. Called JJ. He told me to buy a single trip ticket and get myself to his place first.

When I met him, I fought hard to keep myself from crying. He knew I would be hungry at that time, wanted to bring me down to eat. But I refused. I really feel awful about myself. Very awful.

One day, he might find me a financial burden and looked for another girl who has higher earning power. I won't be surprised. Guys, nowadays don't look to provide for their partners. They look for partners with similar earning power. The ladies have to count on themselves.

....Whatever.. *

Until this shit is over for good.

Honestly, the earning power of a girl doesn't matter if she doesn't squander the money away like water. I dunno, but of course I would prefer if she can earn as much...

EVer since I stopped schooling, I have been leading a frugal lifestyle. Though, still spend too much on transport.

It doesn't feel good that I am earning so much lesser than my bf too. I would like my bf to think that I am a capable girl and respect my abilities.It actually means a lot.

But then again, it's because I am on probation, that's why I am paid little now.

Do most guys really mind their girls having low earning power? I guess what most guys prefer is that the girl would earn almost as much, but still lesser than themselves, right? Can both maintain their ego as well as having someone to share his financial burden. haha.. sigh

yeah.. to me, a girl's earning power isn't a major consideration. Actually, the more the better.

What's more important to me is that they are sensible with money and are not always looking to spend their money or their bf's money. ;-p
