"i am free to be who i really am... no pretenses, no broken promises, no fear... just a life packed with hopelessness and unattainable dreams, 'cause im just livin' like i shld... my life..." everyone has hopes and dreams but dun they know that hope is the denial of reality and that dreams will forever be just dreams?

[130107] Poor, poorer, poorest, broke
Seriously, people say you're able to save during your time in National Service. I for one have no doubt that you're able to do that at the expense of your social life and personal entertainment especially if you're a recruit living on the supposedly generous allowance of SGD$350/month. If you're lucky enough to be a specialist (SGT) or an Officer (2LTA, LTA), i shouldnt see any reasons why you cant save given that your pay is twice or triple to that of a recruit's.
Back to the heading, im starting to tap into my savings from my time working at TCC and though it's inevitable at one point or another, the condition of my finances are a point where it worries me somewhat, not to say i dont have enough to spend or anything. I do, just that i choose not to... at least i have not yet been to the point where i have actually no money, whatsoever. im thankful for that...
Attending birthdays, shopping trips and even a friend's wedding all contribute to the the expenses during the weekends. Im always amazed at the amount of money i spend when im out of camp... at least i stay in camp most of the time, cutting the transport costs but still... really gotta control my purse strings more...
Heading up north later over the causeway to KL with some guys from the company, hopefully will be a fruitful day trip... what are we going there for, you ask? Er.. to go shop actually.. darn... oh well, so much for controlling my purse strings...
