money talk

today is a very eventful day in my career as babysitter/caregiver/nanny/educator, etc, etc. in the morning, i had my arm twisted by an autistic boy who was deranged. me and my colleague had to pry his fingers open. i spotted some form of bruising on my arm now. later in the afternoon, one parent decided to come down to school, guerilla-style and ambush his son in class to observe what he is up to. madness. especially when it comes to the part where he played truant twice and all his tembelang came out in the open. i had to make sure he didnt give his son one flying kick in public. and i made sure i stood far from him in case of runaway slaps/kicks that might a come flying my way accidentally.

what a kecoh day. and its not even over yet. happarently i need to stay till 9pm for some meet the parents seminar with the graduating classes.

i taught 5 hours straight with no breaks in between. i have to supervise netball till 5-ish tonight. i am almost 4 months pregnant.

gimme a break!!

lets see.. $4000x5=$20000.. damn.. i dont think i can ever cough up that amount to pay off my bond. and at the moment i am still struggling to save up to pay for a huge loan i took ages ago.

my new year's resolution this year is to enter as many lucky draws as possible (especially those with huge payouts like condos, cars, etc). if i win, i will sell off the prize and divide the money as following:

1. pay off ALL my existing loans/debts/bills (including those expensive braces which my parents paid for)
2. break my bond and pay off whatever i owe the gahmen.
3. invest some money in some educational policies or trust funds for the kiddies.
4. the remainder will be divided equally between my parents and a charity of my choice.

sigh. i dont think i am financially-intelligent.

there's this girl i know in my primary school, about a year older than me and she already owns her bloody own spa, drives a cute beetle, owns a 5-room hdb flat and got married in some swanky posh hotel not too long ago.

and she made all her money from giving tuition full-time only! her parents and her husband did not help me the least bit!

i need to be money-savvy la.
