Freedom & Liberation - Latest Trends

These 2 weeks hv been really gd for me. I hv been knocking off around 6-6.30pm every single day, with the latest of 7pm being clocked. I think I can handle this job, if I only need to dramatically work overtime 1-2weeks in a mth. I shall also then revise my opinion that the pay rise I got for switching as worth it. Ha!

In line with the early end to my workdays, I hv been gg out more and watching more movies. I realised that money is just a tool to an end, i.e. money shld be used for enjoyment, within limits. For the 1st time since I started work, I am beginning to feel tt I am making enough money to loosen my pursestrings bit by bit.

It of cos helps tt I am not particularly high-maintenance. Maybe I am just slow or not aligned to the latest mkt trends, but I hv never felt the need to purchase branded bags or stuff liddat, which gives me more disposable cash to play around w.

Sometimes, I will spot my faculty mates around town and they can b really dressed up, w a big Gucci bag on their arm. Yes, I do feel small at tt pt in time, as in I will think mayb I shld dress up more, but 1. I don't really wish to spend tt kind of money, and 2. I really don't see the need to.

With the impending move from the central shopping/business districts, I am moving away from the latest trends and the need/pressure to doll myself up even more. It's great! I should live for myself and not for others, so I will just dress myself as I deemed fit.

Did I mention tt I got a new haircut? Been getting compliments for it, e.g. more feminine, more modern, and simply nicer! Yay! Let the outer appearance continue improving...kekek...hopefully, not at the expense of my pocket! =)
