One of the reasons why I'm updating my blog once again is because I'm free. Very free. In fact, sometimes, I'm wondering what I should really be doing with my time instead of sitting in front of the laptop all day.

There's a saying that in JC, you mug until you have not much of a "life". Ironically, it was national service that dulled my life even further.

I'm not sure what is the reason for my thinking. After all, grouped with a bunch of like-minded boys, I'm sure the cause for adventure is strong. Is it that I have not been thinking hard enough for something new to do? Or am I so bent on saving my $10K that I'm willing to spend all day in camp to prevent myself from recklessly spending it all away?

With regards to the financial habit, I wager I should start to learn to remember where I am spending my money and to keep a budget in mind everytime I pull out that shiny wallet (okay, mine's black, not shiny). Previously, I have maintained a policy of no-spending in preference of all choices. As such, I neglected to weigh the actual benefits if I were to spend this money and if I can actually afford to splurge a little.

All these have to change quickly. It's time to take the battle to my finances. I really do not wish that, as a result of my fear of spending, I waste my life away for my remaining time on this island.

And concerning coming up with ideas as to where to go and what to do... That is something I have to live with for the next few days.
