July’s off to a weird start
If I spend anymore, I will be broke. Break, broke, broken. Where did my financial management (or lack thereof) went wrong?!
I survived ITB with B$248 per month, survived The Studio wages (if you’d like to call it that) at less than B$500 per month.. WHERE? Where on earth did it go wrong? Don’t tell me it’s my car. I survived on The Company salary, and the car costs half of it, and I survived that too.
What is wrong with July??
I really have to stop spending. Or cut my credit card in half.
Cemanatah ku kan kawin ni mun nada duit??
Speaking of getting married, my cousin took me seriously when I told him I’m getting married next year. You know, it was one of those “When’s your turn?” times. It was after one of my cousin’s wedding recently, and it went a little like this:
Abang H: Bah, lapas ani ko ah? (Translation: OK, you’re going to be next [to get married], yea?)
Me: Inda eh, lapas ani si N jua. (T: No, N is next.)
This fact is true because another cousin of mine is getting married, at the end of this month. His sister, actually! Haha. Anyway. On with the rest of the conversation, which is really just the end.
Me: Aku next year lah saja. (T: I’ll just get married next year.)
I laughed it off with him, and I assumed he knew I was kidding. I think he sort of missed it, because his other sister, Ka Rina, went up to me during a family doa selamat on a different day, and asked, “I heard you were getting married next year. Is it true?”
The seriousness in her tone and facial expression were priceless!
I never really got questions about when I’m getting married, this was just recent, and I tell you, I’m enjoying them! Haha. I like telling people I’m getting married next year. Keep them excited. It feels like I’m really getting married next year, hahaha.
Silly. Hm, that actually got rid of my financial woes. Haha.

Faz, I think that’s just the way it is as you grow old and you’re earning more and more. You just keep finding ways to owe banks! Haha.
Ada-ada saja. Hope you’ve been well.

Story: I was making small talk, bila ko kawin? To a few friends/colleagues kan tu. Sekali sorang-sorang menjawab with a serious tone, next year.. with dates lagi tu! Serious ani bah. I was hoping for answers yang beribun-ibun bah.. macam tani masa umur.. 17 gitu.

War: Hahaha. Next year or next few years, I will invite, inshaAllah.
Yatah bah ah, kalau bonus wah, mikin tah lagi kapih rasanya. Haha.
Atul: Yes, I guess we can’t joke around about it anymore, haha. My cousin says your 20’s like mating season. HAHA.
Alyaa: Hahaha! What if I am?
They say if you say it loads of times, and believe in it, you’re going to get it! LOL.
No one has ever asked me if I’ve got a boyfriend or not. It’s funny that they just ask when I’m getting married. I haven’t brought the boyfriend to meet the family yet! Haha.
Nonnie: I will say, “Keep a secret; I’m carrying one as we speak!” ROFL. That’ll keep them quiet.
