Spending....

After receiving my payslip on Thursday, I got so excited that I bought myself a pair of new flip-flop slippers.. A cute one from Bata after I finished work at around 4.45 p.m.

Well, I did spend some to treat my colleagues at work with Pizzas, Lasagne, and lots more from Frattini's (a good friend ordered for all of us). I felt so happy that I didn't realise that I still have to pay for other bills and the likes.. Anyway, I know that I still need to be happy with the current salary statement regardless of all the upcoming bills that need to be settled. Hehe... No worries..

Friday morning I went for a massage at the usual place I went to in KB town which I've booked on Wednesday. It was a 9.00 a.m. appointment there and I went there right on the dot.. Felt really refreshed after the massaged... Alhamdulillah.. Got back home and I've to fetch my mom at around 12.00 noon at the restaurant. It was after the pay day, so, lots of people are having functions and so on and they have ordered catering services from the restaurant. My mom cooks at the restaurant, well, a family restaurant just around the corner of the Dst branch in KB. Alhamdulillah, business is well and mantained in order.

After around 2.00 p.m. I had to rush to Bandar coz I really needed to buy the ingredients for my so-called Cheese Cake.. Bought lots of them and I went to go shopping for other things.. indeed it was only window shopping coz I didn't actually buy anything.. I was asked to buy a new Oven for baking cakes but I was not interested in any of those displayed on the shelves.. So, I went down to Tutong to collect my Baju Kurong which I didn't take during raya.. and I've spent on that too.. I really need to save some for my trip at the end of the year.. Hopefully, I could save before I've overspend it.

It was already almost 6.00 p.m. that I arrived in Seria town, also to look for oven.. I saw a few friends there, maybe shopping.. I parked my car at the back of the shop building and entered a CD shop where I met a colleague who's trying to buy a new DVD of a new movie.. Well, I told him that I've seen Tropical Thunder while I was back in Melbourne, at the Hoyts Cinema with my fellow team members from the training sessions. It was a really funny movie and I told him that Tom Cruise was among the cast members in the movie but nobody knows it was Tom Cruise. I think he decides to buy the DVD.. :-) Hope you enjoyed watching the movie.. hehehe..
I didn't quite buy a lot in Seria as I had to get some more milk and butter, and I went to Soon Lee Mega Mart in KB. Then I got back home.. After the prayers then I started baking my cheese cakes.. 4 of them.. It took me from 9.00 p.m. to 11.00 p.m. to finish preparing the cheese cakes. I then read the Borneo Bulletin and I was really interested to read the article on the new UBD graduates.. It kinda reminds me of my graduation last year.. a wonderful thought... I wish I could again study.. further..

This morning, I woke up as usual but I wasn't in a hurry to get done.. That's why it took me quite a while to get ready and drive to school. I thought I had time to pack the cheese cakes but I was wrong.. So, I had to ask permission from the acting principal to let me go and get the cakes at around 8.40 am. It was hard work for me to transfer the cakes to the cake boxes. My mum said that I should've done it earlier while it was still a bit frozen and now it was already soft.. so, it was quite delicate and may distort the shape a bit.. Sorry dear friends who have booked for the cakes.. I do hope that it tastes better than it's sorry shape.. Forgive me...
I took the cakes to school at around 9.20 a.m. just in time before they read the Doa selamat. Lots of food, local and international, just name it and it is there right in front of our eyes.. heheh.. well not all of them of course.. Maybe i'm just a bit exageratting here.. Sorry..

Of course I'm really full after the meal, so I'm going home a bit later for my Solat zuhur.. Home is just a few minutes from school, and I had to come back in the afternoon for work.. I had to work all afternoons unlike other teachers.. that's why I didn't have much time to rest in the afternoons, hmm.. being in the administration it gives me exposure to official duties other than teaching..

Anyway I had to do much better now as with a better pay, so, I think I should do much more "setimpal" with the pay that I get.. However I'm still waiting if we do get our allowances.. but now it is Alhamdulillah..
