I realised the problems faced when we were at every stages is so much different. Do u ever think back of what you always worried about when you were in Primary school? To me, Yes! I was worrying about losing my passport, unable to wake up and catch the school bus and also worried that i cant get into a secondary school.
And when i passed that phase of life, i moved on to secondary school life. What was the problems that i faced? School work? Friends? Relationship?Family? Fame? Appearance? I remembered that there was a period of time that i was alone,cause i couldnt 'click' with my friends. I was always sad because of my relationships, and i always quarrel with my parents because of school work as well as having a boyfriend at young age. However, i realised all these problems are just peanuts when i continue moving on to my University life.
At the age of 18, i was so excited cause i'm able to get into clubs. I was a little different from my friends cause i continued my studies in KL but not in S'pore. Therefore, i lost contact with my friends in S'pore and have known quite a few new friends in KL. The first thing i was worried about were friends. That was my first time staying alone in the hostel with strangers. There's no one i know in KL at all!!! But, i took up the courage and approached people like eevon.. LOL! I overcome the first problem! Second problem was the stress of studies. At that point of time i realised that KL's education is so much different from Singapore. Or i should say, i never been in a lecture hall with so many people before.. I cant even concentrate cause i was busy looking at others! LOL..but slowly, i adapted the new style of studying.. and so, second problem was solved! The third problem was to learn how to communicate with my housemates cum room mates! What the fuck! Its my first time sharing room with people i dunno! All the while since young i was sleeping in my own room without even sharing it with my brothers! OMG, i have to learn how to distribute the housework, how to compromise, how to cook etc etc... Arh! I hate that.. but slowly.. i'm used to that too!
As i grow up, i'm getting nearer to the society, i have to start looking for a place to stay and to finance my own funds. At the very first where my dad gives me allowance which i have to really finance it well or else i'll be broke at the end of the month. That was an easy job tho, i'm able to save money every month. Do u know why? Cause my allowance was excluded rental, utilities, and even petrol.. that money was just my ALLOWANCE! I got my dad's credit to swipe when shopping and pumping petrol. My dad will just give me additional money for my rental. U see, all these were not a problem at all. The only problem is to how to ask for money from my dad!
Next, the life in Perth, before coming to Perth, i was glad that i'm independent enough to settel all the visa thingy myself. But i'm lucky that i have brother here to settle my accomendations and etc. This time was different! I have a larger amount of money to finance. There's so many factors that i have to take into considerations. The currency rate, the interest rate, the tax rates and also the rules & regulations in Perth. In the beginning, i screw up everything. I overspend around AUD3000 for my first year in Perth, LOL (got a scolding from my dad). That really stress me up! And so, i'm now in the stage where i have to handle my own life. I have to find a job, i have to save money, i have to count every dollar and cent, i have to calculate and estimate my spending. I have to manage funds in the bank in order to get a higher return etc etc.. And after calculation of all these.. it comes to a conclusion that i need AT LEAST aud3000 per month just to SURVIVE! OMG.. currently, i do not have a job(but still finding), i need to pay a high rental, utilities, petrol, car maintainence fees, groceries, etc etc.
I was freaked out by the amount that i've calculated. And i'm stress up now. I cant imgaine myself without my dad! OWH! HELP! GET ME A JOB FAST! I think i need to move out of this expensive house and start sharing house with strangers again... I think i should learn how to take public transport just to save my petrol. *Sign*... I'm broke.. but i'm glad that the forces from the environment makes me grow up fast, makes me realised that i should start planning my life NOW!
