Quarter-life crisis

It was like I woke up 1 day and realized that dang, I am gonna be 25 soon and have had enough of playing. Yeah, I had been making money all along but haven’t had plans, just make make and make and spend. (note that for every ‘make’, there is only 1 ‘spend haha) I’ve made goals to achieve by 25 and this is the last year to do it.

I foresee more expenses next year, more with my bro finishing school. I wanna cut down on expenses but I dunno where can I do so as I only spend when necessary. Yeah, I keep buying clothes and bags at times but I think those are still ok. Trying to cut down on meal expenses instead for I feel that there are alternatives, although of course expensive food taste better and are more fun than cheap food. So that’s the only thing that I think I can cut down on.

I’ve got my mum insurance but mine’s not decided upon yet at the time being. Deciding on that insurance kinda scared me a little; it’s a commitment. I can well afford it but the 1 lump sum was a little scary. Not a big sum at all actually if thought of it on a monthly basis. I think the ability to have this commitment was some sort of an ‘achievement’ for me. Then, I keep thinking of the new City though I do not need a car. A new car would solely be for my eyes only. I’ve never felt so strongly about a car, dang. The silver one looks ugly yet the grey one looks nice.

Side income-wise, I’ve got a lot of tuition lined up for me next year. Apt, since I wanna make more money right? 5 straight days per week, from Tues-Sat. No doubt I’m gonna be extremely tired, caused from the rushing back from work. The trains have been rescheduled, making matters worse. When people complain, they are supposed to increase the frequency, not reducing the frequency of my trains to half hourly. Utterly futterly dumb.

Career-wise, I’ve just spoken to my boss yesterday. Just a chat to find out how was I doing and to ask what’s my future and what else more can I do. I had always wanted to speak to her but had been procrastinating, but the mention of PMP next month jolted me. I want that increment, I don’t wanna wait another year for it. So well, she said I am doing fantastic, the guys in UK like working with me, I’ve picked things up fast, willing to undertake other stuff such as the Nokia project and I’m her star. Mat sallehs talk like this, I’m not sure how much truth is in there for I dunno what special thing I’ve done to make me her star.

Anyway, I told her I wanna get more involved in Heps. By doing so, I believe that I will know more about it and can progress from there. So she will speak to the guys in UK to see what can be handed over to me. I am gunning for Hep B Asia actually, cos Nick is too far to present it in Seoul, Taiwan and China and the diabetes guy is actually doing it since he is in SG. So, that’s an opportunity for me. I wanna take sole charge of Asia and I wanna go to Seoul =) I wanna see too if I’m gonna get my promotion by next year end or sooner, as T said.

I think I’ve got a lot in store for me next year. Wanna look for more side income too, though I’m not sure how much time do I have since I’m gonna be coming home at 10 everyday and not going to have as much free time at the office because I requested more responsibilities haha. Wanna allocate some time to take part in contests, for that is what I do well in and pretty cool stuff are available. But 1 thing I know for sure, I'm gonna be eating like there's no tomorrow on weekends. A treat for myself to reward myself for working my ass off the entire week and also that's because the weekend is the only time I have. And another of my quarter-life crisis goals is to trim down on food intake and reduce my waistline, dang...
