POKKAI…how I fall to this stage…

“insuffidient fund”.That’s what is stated in my bank receipt.

I am broke.Seriously broke.It happened too soon as it was out of my plan.

This is a totally new experience to me for being broke.No money in either bank or wallet.Images and videos start streaming out of my mind.A lot of it.Things that I have never thought about.Its kinda fun actually.The weird reality of having no money only comes to me when I was waiting for bus in KL Sentral. 

                Danger or fear to me are always too subtle that I seldom notice them or treat then as a big thing.Even for this time.Maybe it’s just temporary and I optimistically think that it maybe a pushing force for me to cut down my diet.These are some ideas that come to my mind during the bus journey to home that I could remember:

      1.        Part-time job at Yamaha- last year someone at Yamaha asked me whether I am interested in taking part time job.But I was not ready and afraid tha it might hinder my study so I never took it seriously.but now it seems appeal to me.
   

      2.        Secret( Hey! Not what you think.Nothing to do with prostittion okay?I won't go that far.)

      3.        My plan to sell books in Australia immerges.A few data collected: Surveying the potential market for chinese books, label my books into categories so that my mother can easily shipping to me the books I want, make a copy of booklist for my mother for wasy reference, surveying the transport fees to determine how much I should price the books,to sell them through bookshops or open a stall myself or to rent a booth during book fair or art festival(inspired by the ones that I saw at the art and alternative book bazaar),books to sell and to keep as a treasure to my library.

      4.        Friend list that I could borrow money from when things get really critical and this is the last alternative I could take to make ends meet.

      5.        Find Bank Simpanan Nasional so that I could withdraw my money in the account.Shit! Since my stay in KL,I had never seen any Bank Simpanan. What the shit is this bank that you don’t open a franchise in KL?
   

      6.        How to handle my meal.Luckily I like to buy 3 in 1 drink in packets and cereal sort of things.So maybe I could stand for a couple of weeks with the stock under my table.Owh, and the big savior: Instant mee!!! For nutrition, I should reduce my daily 2 fruits to each day one or one for 2 days.No more release-stress food like burger and after exam luxurious meal (actually the luxury stands for more variety of food in a plate of economic rice)(so I was wondering why is it that I still have no enough money since I always bring food to college..hmm)

      7.         The present that I had brought for Syaq but didn’t manag to give him on time which I planned to share with other housemates.When is Izzat Roslan’s birthday? The present can be applied to him too as he got the same interest.Then I can gain money from that.

      8.         The many many more activities that I’d planned to participate but now seem can’t. But really I  don’t want to lose the chance to open my mind.Not worth it.So borrowing would be an appealing option.Then see how.

      9.      * Then the reward for being a volunteer for KL Marathon suddenly comes into my mind.RM40,I could get it by next Sunday.Haha.Great.*happy
     

      10.       How much money I would have to owe the household? And the contribution to the farewell party as well.Sorry the amount is actually a part of my planned expenditure but, things happens.>< 

       11.       Refreshing back.If yesterday I paid for the camera bag and the ikan bakar then today I would have (not “buying less during the bazaar) borrow more from Xinpei.

         Now I fear.I think I have no talent in managing my money.I am not rational at all in this

financial thing.I buy things without considering how much I left but how rare the chance is to find the thing and how worthful it is to buy it. The scary truth is that I always think in the latter way.

         Anyhow,I had found the ATM branch in KL.Its everywhere,KL Sentral, Timesquare, Midvalley, Lowyat…But, I got the urge to take this challenge of striving until the paidday comes.I like challenges.

Aww..I had started piercing quotes of my own..

I am a weirdo,but still not weird enough to be successful. (I believe a true weirdo will be succeed one day >.<)

Problems faced by everyone who buy beansprout.--Beansprout fever

Since beansprout is a kind of vegie that is both cheap and healthy, many like to buy it.It comes with package in a size of two fists and only costs a maximum of 50 cent. Cheap and in large size. That's what consumers crave for. And here comes the problems.This is particular for buyers that only cook a one-person meal.

Before buying,we may ask ourselves : "Can we finish it all?" "Nevermind, it's cheap, just buy it." And we go back home with satisfication.

There are 3 cases happening now in my hostel, Rumah 67.These are what had happened:

1. Name : huili

    Situation: I bought a 68 cent amount of beansprout and plan to finish it in 4 days (that is, 4 meals continuously).Once I reached home from the market, I immediately immersed half of the beansprout in salt water and kept it in fridge.The other half is kept in the fridge as well in plastic that I made some holes on it.To let them breath.Actually it supposed to be in salt water as well, but I couldn't find a appropriate container to keep all of it. //And my cooking plan went smooth except that I missed out one day, that means my beansprout last for 5 days, some of the one that I didn't put in saltwater have their heads fallen, but the rest still look stunningly delicious.:')

2. Name: liai

    Situation: She bought 60-cent amount of it on the same day as mine.And she just kept it in the fridge without making any changes.I was not sure how many days she'd planned to cook them.But on the day I finished my last portion of beansprout, I saw a large portion of beansprout still laying weakly in the corner of the fridge.They have black eye circles and their body are crouch into distorted shape.Kesian. It was 2 days ago.:-S

3. Name: yeeyin

    Situation: She bought it on the day I finished my last beansprout.50-cent.Planned for 3 meals.3 days.It is now having some head-falls but still edible.Tomorrow is their last day, hopefully yeeyin manage to wake up early and cook them with their companion soft taufu and black fungus.(as what yeeyin'd cooked for these 2 days) :')

Overall.The problems that commonly faced is time constriction that we have to finish it on time as beansprout have short life span. And as they are so cheap, we tend to buy it in large amount.

Useful tips: Immersed them in saltwater to extend their life span.^^ Happy Cooking!!!
