So. It's June already.
You'll be surprised how rapidly time flits away when you're bumming around doing nothing. Retrospect, the past six months has gotta be the most unproductive of my life; no school, no work, just boyfriend & home all the way. On second thoughts, blatently doing nothing is slightly better than pretending to go to school, half a week right? Rather than wasting time and money taking long bus rides, lugging heavy books I don't really wanna read simply to while away hours at coffee bean, all the breakfast places you can think of, and ktv sessions.
Come a couple of weeks, a new chapter begins. And I can't deny I'm secretly more anxious than exhilarated. Yeah, I used to live life crazy, but now I don't like, or maybe I'm not just a little afraid of change. Farewell to four years of sneaking into clubs, begging 7 11 uncles to sell that pack of fags and dressing 'mature' to make it to rated movies.
The only event I'm looking forward to is owning a car. Promised one after I secure my license, gonna try to beat Yuanxin's record and make it in two months which is madness but after mid july (boyfriend sets off to serve the nation) I'll be FREE till Feb when I fly away to burn those brains out. Nobody seems to trust my future driving skills though.. *pfftttt just wait till I get that car, pussies, don't ask me for a ride go take your CABS ^^ After spending a 20 buck cab ride via Jurong to Gardens.. I'm even more motivated not to waste that kinda money. WAHLAO 20 BUCKS CAN BUY TWO PACKS LOH. Though I get free cigs half the time.. that's besides the point.
And the rents' are starting a mobile shop at CCK MRT station. The rent is a fucking 10k a month, which I deem total insanity, especially with the sales of cig prohibited. How are we gonna make ends meet with handphones and calling cards alone, especially when we're hiring a girl (some hp expert) and we can't miss out on her pay?
But I suppose you just gotta trust them. *shrugs* I feel sorry for them actually. Used to make hundreds of thousands working 2 days a week without batting an eyelid and now we're struggling on 30k a month. They seem to be taking it easy lately though, going to work late, coming back earlier than usual now that the business's so good we can live basically by renting out the shop alone and maintaining partnership with Kenny - about 10k income even if they don't work at all. And we're renting out the second Jurong house - finally! and selling the Pasir Ris condo - finally! too though I thought it would be a better idea to let it out and receieve a monthy 1.5k which isn't alot but okay I think, rather than selling it for a loss of a few grand.
Prolly gonna help out at the mobile store, the pay won't be awesome but a guaranteered 1.5k to 2k is alright I suppose, since I'll just be learning the ropes. They're doing this whole partnership with the girl (similar to the one we do with Kenny) - we fork out the cash, they do the work, and it's 50/50 or 60/40 after deducting expenses/rent/everything. Sigh if I made Kenny teach me everything now I'll be the one earning that kinda cash la! 50/50, which is like 5k a month pretty damn awesome for a kid my age but.. GRRRRR. I was mentioning why not fixed salary for the girl, but they said if fixed they wouldn't give their all, cos it doesn't matter how they work they get the same cash anyway but if there's incentive it'll be good hard work from them.
