2day was PH (Labour Day) - consider a WW holiday, I go 4 a movie ("He jst not tt in2 u")w/ my X at 1U. Knowin tt v cnt book any tic w/in tis very few hours, so I tried purchase online usin my UOB cc -Done. 5th row fr front, stil consider OK 4 me (as long as nt 1st-4th row).

B4 tt I hvnt took my dinner, jst grab a cream butter while Im on my way 2 cinema. So, v decide hv sth at nearby restaurant - Vietnam Crusine. I jst cm bck fr Vietnam, bt I found out tt their food x really suit me. Bt I do love their coffee (taste thicker / strong aroma) & beer - coz it was CHEAP as water :P

Ok, I let my X order which she always does a gd job on tis... A seafood noodles, tomyam soup, fried vege, 2 bowls of rice & tri-colors ice kacang (ice-blended). A bit rushin 4 us 2 finish it all, coz movie gonna 2 start w/in 40 minutes~ Phew~

The movie was nice, I love it... N it mk me laugh somehow. I love Jennifer Aniston since the "Friends".

Show end, v decide go 4 a drinks. So, v drive 2 The Curve - Laudry (aka pub / bistro). I ordered a bucket of Heneiken (consist of 5 btl). Bt somehow, v nt much in the mood of talking... felt borin & dead air. V agree 2 go home earlier after knock-off those beers.

Wow~ Wat a day... I spent over budget again. At 1st I tot jst a movie would b nice, bt end up other activities.

Here u go abt my spendin of the day:

Movie $21
Vietnam Cruisine $48 [Cn b avoid]
Pub / Bistro $78 [Cn b reduce]
-----------------------
TOTAL $147

*Im told myself nt 2 spend much again during tis mth...

Tried get bck 2 my trek after NY, CNY, V-Day, car insurance... blah blah~ Really a big spender, hai~ *o*

Gf bday gift aledi cost me $600, she lost her mobile phone few months ago, that's y I promised 2 "sponsor" part of the price. SonyEricsson 850i, wat a pricey ($1.6k)@_@

I still got 2 CC debts + personal loan (2 years) worry now~

My Bali trip was another month ahead, I still need to stretch another 1k for it. Air ticket was brought last year...

I worked since last Sat until tml (6 days in a row & 72 hours), quite tired & felt pity 2 myself too Whole 2 towers left me only th chinse ppl who still woring durin public holidays (CNY)

Well, get xtra pay 4 it.. bt I missed all my family & frens' gathering. Bt still managed 2 join 4 our Reunion dinner at Golden Palace (bside Swiss Garden). As FYI, tis dinner was VERY IMPORTANT 2 chinese, all must gotta attend no matter wat's reason / cost.

A table of 8 ppl cost abt $725+ WOW~ (it origin was $599, after addin tis & tt) That must b hurt 2 Alan (my bro-in-law).

Ytd my sis house got steamboat, i go there after working. Yummy~ No 2 mention, i got few angpao from them too. FYI, all married ppl must gv angpao 2 who not yet marry tt's really a good traditional, way 2 go dude~

Tis Sat wil go 2 my uncle house, self-service dinner there & lots angpao too... hehehe we normally ez cn get few hundred $ from angpao... hehehe additional $ 2 pay bck my CC debts...

I guess tis whole CNY wil b eating & eating none-stop.... OMG~ I'll gain more weight after tis festival season, hahaha~

Tis month spent A LOTS!!! *sigh*

Last week was a bz week 4 me & gf. V finally decided wanna move out from my family & rent an Apt nearby office. It was a new apt, everything was jst furnished & only 60% of space got rent out/occupied.

Some xtra xpenses occurs, like rental,gas,water & electricity bills. So far no phone line/internet service yet. V dont plan install it too, as v cn mk call usin cellphone & surfin durin office hours.

Whole apt consider quite big 4 both of us, stil left 2 empty room. Wil plan rent out soon, bt jst wonder when only Since tis was my 1st time movin away from home, nothin much in our apt. V bring some cloths, queen size bed, cabinets, table, chairs, kitchen utilities & lots of cushions/pillows :P

No TV,Hi-Fi, Air-con, water heater, refrig, microven, not even sofa...so, our electricity bill wil b very little. I was thinkin 2 top-up those facility 1-by-1, since I dont wanna pay by monthly installment. I hope my decision was right, coz when movin-in here aledi cost us some $:

Rental x 2 months
W&E deposits
Moving transportation xpenses
Contract & Agreement fee
Some basic utilities

Bt v r happy so far, finally got our own home sweet home. Altot there wil b xtra xpenses monthly, bt if plan carefully I think I cn manage

Now wil try rent out those empty rooms 2 relief some of the cost.
Try find a 2nd-hand TV & water heater.
V done most of our laundry once a week in my parent place.
Since v stayed in 14th flr, quite cozy & cold durin nite, not ned 2 install air-con at all. Fan was more than enuf

So far v cook durin my offday & Tesco was really nearby. V brought some meat & vege, spend abt 1 hour less & our dinner was done. 3 dishes + 1 soup + rice = 2 ppl only spent RM10+. Most of the time less than RM10 too bcoz v cnt finish all too... haha.

Wil consider buy a small refrig next month, if my xmas gift 4 gf & daily xpenses nt xceed my budget. So far our entertainment at home was watchin movie/soap drama in my laptop / listen radio / reading. Looks quite pity, ha!

Dont worry, jst half month movin-in, stil left plenty of time 4 us 2 add-in tis & tt. Im sure slowly our home wil bcome really a home sweet home :P
