the symbolic picture of this year's last post would be me, sitting behind a large desk, gripping a phone against my left ear, my sleeves rolled up, hair messed up, shouting with every intention to burst my lungs out:
SHOW. ME. THE. MONNNEEEEEYYYY!!!!!
for those of you not familiar with the iconic Mcguire scene... please... join the pop culture immediately.
anyway busway, what's with such materialistic nature of theme, you ask?
well, in the light of having my first real job with an awesome Batman Visa followed (how cool is that? my first very own credit card!) and the sudden increase of the responsibility for self sustainability, as visionery as i am (blah!), it would be outrageous not to think how to manage the very basic thing that would determine how i am going to spend the rest of my life.
thus the very headache of fitting monthly standard expenses (food, transport, phone bill), monthly entertainment and shopping surge (do NOT tell me this is a secondary need), savings for yearly holiday (paragliding, Bunaken, new year in Bali and Eurotrip being the top of the list), savings for Hajj, Kurban, a car and an apartment, savings/investment for pension... did i miss anything? ..all within the range of my minimun wage (by Fasilkom UI's standard, of course). thank God, medical insurance is given by my beloved office...
all the choices i made, either under full control of my sanity or under influence of raging spending hormones, would also somehow contribute to my shift in priority and life long plan that is already taking place when i decided to take my current job.
but tonight, it's time to celebrate. 'coz i believe no amount of disasters should hinder the hope to live and cherish another year coming by.
HAPPY HOPEFUL NEW YEAR !!!
Let us see the days ahead as bliss, hope and another time given to condemn those who cut down trees and hence caused floods in the next few months. Amin.
PS - to fellow 9rs: me, Sylvia and Askar are having dinner @ Senayan City this coming Tuesday. Join us if you're around :) - pRiV@te | Comments (1) | Permalink | Trackbacks (0)
