I have moved in~~!

I am at a new address officially since saturday. A lot of getting used to in terms of where to look for stuff. But overall I'm enjoying the peace and quiet. And not to mention I have much more space to move around in.

Still a bit of tidying up to do...

This is the what greets my visitor


Dining area


Guest/Mum's room


My study/work area


Master bedroom.


My TV system in the masterbedroom

Walk in Wardrobe

The toilet beside it
Kitchen
Living room (Messy cables)


And my fave...

My first published letter in TNP

Not really something to write of but it's STILL the first letter I had published in news paper. Woo Hoo!

Savings...

Lately everything also more and more.

More and more people on the streets, more and more cars on the road, everything more and more expensive and to make the best out of it, people are looking for means to make more and more $$..

Which is very beneficial. For the country this means more tax income, more sales for cars-maker, and more business for everyone.

But for the individual, I start to sense the frustration. Trains and buses during peak hours are cramped to the max, every other car owners are on the waiting list just to find a space to park their car. One even has to queue for ages just to find seats during lunch before you start joining the queues to buy food.

And what happen when demand for things is high? Prices will naturally go up.

So now you earn more to pay for more.

Which makes it the best opportunity to start saving while one can still earn as much before the next downturn comes crawling in. As history has shown, what goes up will eventually comes down.

And surely one would still remember the horror stories of the downtime. Bankrupts, houses confiscated by bank, lives changed overnight.

For myself, I'm sad to say I don't really have much(if any) savings despite working for the past 7 years. Which is really pathetic.

And so my new objective for this month would be to start a regular savings account and place in 20% of my salary. Late start but better than never start...

Ouch! My back!

It finally happen. My on-and-off affair with my back ache flared into a full-blown excruciating back-breaking, teeth-biting, tears-flowing accident after effects.

We were just leaving a redemption center with a Samsung Home Theater System which seems to weigh a tonne. It somehow caused something in my back area to snap and the pain starts to spread the my entire back.

I had to do something about it or I surely will be bed-ridden tomorrow. Hence we went to the Chinese Physician in Tampines for treatment.

I had always been quite skeptical about TCM but this show made me feel otherwise:



The Chinese Physician gave me a #$%^ painful massage and put hot suction cups on my back to improve blood circulation. On top of the medicine and plaster, I am recommended to undergo acupuncture to rid myself of the pain.

Use pain to cure pain. Hopefully it's worth my appointment tomorrow...
