Septembers marks the opening of term 4, where all the exams will start. This time Language Arts start on 29 SEP if I'm not wrong. My whole sept "holiday" will be dedicated to doing past year papers and revision ws 24/7 (excluding sleeping time and slacking time). And hopefully I can control myself properly enough not to waste my time away.

Today I went to Vivocity with my family and busted $53 on a FOREVER21 chiffon floral dress. *sobs* Please don't label me as being materialistic! I originally didn't want to buy the dress, my mum encouraged me to, because she thinks she I shouldn't keep on saving money in my bank account because it's not worth it. Inflation is like 6.5% and the bank interest only gives less than 1%. In fact, I think it's even lesser than 0.5%. It's so measly. So my mum wanted me to buy that dress, cos she knows that I like it. Her principle is: it's better buying an expensive dress when you like wearing it and is happy when you wear it everytime. Maybe it's true, but i'm still kind of sore over buying it ):

$53. I can buy 3 dresses online or maybe 4 different tops. Maybe if I find post a pic of the dress here, you'll see why i bought it...BUT i still wanna buy other tops and dresses from forever21 and sgst...saw something really cute on sale. I'm such a clothes junkie D:
My mum believes that I'm a miser, that I tend to save up frequently and always being calculative D: Is that true? I like seeing the amount of money I have in my bank account, seeing them sitting there silently makes me happy, and occassionally when I spend around $20-$30 buying clothes online, I won't feel so guilty.

After all, I need to save up, since I don't earn any direct income. I just managed to deposit $120 into the bank after saving up since january. Now nearly half of that amount is gone. SIGH. I think money needs to be used occassionally to buy things to spoil yourself for all the hard work you've taken to save them up. But spending an extravagant amount over something that is not proportional to your personal income is bad. So that is why I want to grow up earning more money so that even if I buy a few clothings costing over $100, I won't feel so miserable. I want my estimated future income to exceed $7000! And my EOY holiday plan is to GET A JOB. I'll most probably work as a sales assistant, as a tutor to primary sch kids or as a events model(ie help out at events). I shall earn $1000 this holiday! $_$

Thinking of all these makes me a little dizzy. Money is really the root of all problems :/
