Lucky for me, my mother has the habit of doing expense tracking. so it was relatively easy to keep track of the accrued expenses at home, including groceries, insurance and electricity bills....

my brother gave me $200 for my trip to dubai :)

crashed my mothers benz..
Just a minor crash. So i am quite lucky. but her backlights cost me 500 BND in repairs.
I am forced to use the money that i have been saving up for something i want to buy....
couldnt claim any insurance because her car has a minimum claim of $3k in repairs.
but thats ok.

went on a trip with my friends to Miri, Malaysia.
Mom gave me $150 and i spent $95.

We split everything and there were about 9 of us.

its so cheap to live in malaysia, because of the exchange rate. but its so hard for the poor because they earn so little to begin with. and whenever im in miri i have this feeling that the poor get poorer while the rich get richer. the atmosphere of the place just smells of it. weird? maybe!

Proud to say that i am a 'transactor' - Banks don't like me haha!
I am able to pay my credit card transactions every month. though sometimes i forget and get charged, that makes me angry :( I should look into getting the bank to put in certain amounts of money into my credit card account every month.

And like the textbook says, i am one of those that is a sucker for the rewards i have 3 credit cards of one which is a supplementary card where i deliberately choose to use my credit card to get the points. Most of the time my points are too little anyway, its not like i have a lot of money to spend.

oh well

i have to pay my apartment rent even though i am not in sydney. $600 per week by 3 ways, even when im not staying there.... thats alot of money..

My mother gave me 200. which she said that should last me till january.
She used to give me more, but now that she recently retired and is running the family business, i know she wants me to work this holiday.
