pieces of paper with certain numbers called money

me and hubby, we always have some plans to go traveling and have started setting up the destinations, budget, and of course wondering how fun it could be. i always grab some tour brochures everytime i pass the travel agency everywhere. especially after work, grab some brochures, read them in the tram way home, get home, throw away my shoes [not that dramatic though, just want to describe how excited i am], put ice cream in a cup, start browsing the brochure. it's everything, isn't it? i mean the feeling that you'll be in that places shown at the brochures.

so talking bout doing traveling, we're talking bout the budget, money, piece of paper with certain numbers, aight?

since few months ago, i have these jobs, i earn some money. sometimes i got paid by cheque [magz job] and got cash for the hospitality job. few days before the pay day [lucky, come in the same day for those 2 jobs, every 2 weeks], i always promise myself to save couple dollars from the cheque since it will come to my bank account straight away, and spend the cash one for daily expenses.

but i don't know why, it always failed.

the cash will suddenly disappeared, and as long as i can remember, always goes to [mostly] chocolates, ciggarettes [only at the weekend though], tuesday dinner [this is like a regular one, spend tuesday night everyweek having dinner with some indo friends] and having some happy drinks with the other bule's friends at the weekend [also reguler events]. these are something that i can not avoid coz me and hub want to have the best time of our life in melb, so we don't want to be that kinda always-counting-every-couple-dollars and miss our precious time with friends who always give us highlight of our day.

and the cheque, at one time quickly changes into some cute accesories, fashion stuffs and not to mention some CD's and magazines that i can't stand not to buy. although it appeared to be cheque but easily to be spent coz you can do sort of eftpos, debit, whatsoever.

so those money that i got for two weeks working always go easily. and another weeks coming, starts on monday, in the morning, walking to the train station keep tellling myself, you have to save money, coz you want to be in that places shown at traveling brochures. and, you know how what happened next at the pay day.

so i envy some of my friends who can go traveling because they are really organized with their financial planning, save some money, and having their best time. but i also envy them who can easily go traveling because suddenly some money surprisingly appeares in their account and that was sent from home. lucky you.

so now i promise myself, in the name of those places that i want to spend summer time with hubby, i will save some money and start forgetting that tempting shops who always make me broke. yeah right ...
