Money matters

It was my Mum's birthday on Wednesday and we all went out to 'celebrate'. Haha. It's actually just a dinner at the coffeeshop, but feels different cos my Dad got home early and we seldom go out so early. Ordered my favourite hot-plate tofu and some crabs to make it more like a celebration. Yum yum.

It's Friday now and I've really been slacking off this whole week. Sigh. Feels great. Haha. Going to start shopping for clothes to wear during my training soon. Seems like there're a lot of offers now since it's the Sale season--must make good use of it. Wrote out a list of all the stuff I need. Woah. It's quite extensive, and although the individual items cost just a little, the total amount is rather scary.

People who don't understand will most probably say-- "What's so expensive?? Only need a pair of decent shoes and the most a jacket suit only what." Hah. They'll be surprised at how much more I need to get--- shoes, bags, jacket suit, tops, lots of stockings, hairnets, hairpins, hairspray, nailpolishes, makeup necessities... I still don't dare to estimate the total bill. Will definitely burn a large hole in my already shallow pocket.

That's only for the Singapore training... I have another list of items to get for the Japan training. I'll try not to touch that list too soon. My pocket can only take a certain level of shock for now. It's still trying to recover from the sudden outflow I had in March and April when I was preparing for my interviews. Spent around $500 just to get myself decent enough to attend the interviews then.

For those of you who think flying as a career is easy money--- hah. You don't know how much we invested.
