Measuring up

The holidays are faster running away from me. What have I done that is worthy is notice in this holiday? Nothing much, just slacking and reflecting about the things I have done since I left army. Am I a changed man? Maybe all this talk about me changing, learning is just that I am not able to accept myself for who I am.

Anyway, I already decided to stop playing competitive volleyball. I have also stopped most of my physical activities. This talk about looking for jobs is more about managing my financial situation. My mother still gives me pocket money every week, even though it does not really affect my financial situation much. I almost always save every amount that my parents give me.

I managed to sell some old books off EBAY.SG. Quite interesting way of putting across some used items to cash out some money. I need to learn more about managing my finances. I just do not want to be a burden to my parents.

Long Jin actually offered to edit my story. I do feel a bit awkward letting other people see my writing. I guess its my low self-esteem working me up again. If you want to write, but not let anyone else see, it could be just a form of expression. But if you do want to let the rest of the world see, something must be wrong when you even feel shy about letting one of your better friends see it.

World Cup fever, and I am not really part of it. Saw the opener, and then, the rest are only cheers and shouts from my neighbours. I did not buy the World Cup channel, neither did I follow my other friend's advice to use an antenna to try to find the Indo channels. (I would not devolve who he is, in case StarHub hunts him down, hahaha...) I should learn to deal with what I have, or I should say what I do not have. Learning to live with scarcity is quite a nice way of living.
