Now is year end sale, many shops are giving out discount for their goods.
BUT!!MY POCKET MONEY GOT DISCOUNT ALSO!!!!
Initially, my allowance WAS RM400.00 (rental included). This is fine.
Then, no more staying at PJ, it becomes RM250(deducted the rental RM150.00). This is also fine.
Now, I've another discount. 40% discount. Well, THIS IS NOT FINE AT ALL!!!
Let's calculate:
RM250*60%=RM150
Yeah, exactly, my allowance now is RM150.00 nett!
It's ok if everyday I just stay at home and do nothing, not going out or not preparing for anything.
HOWEVER!!
The RM150.00 NETT is for:
- FIS of UTAR Pangkor trip(3 days 2 nights). Minimum I have to pay RM200.00 for it, but since I already paid Rm100.00 as deposit, Rm100.00 left.
This RM200.00 is included the bus fee, the hotel and one dinner (may be). Thus, for another 5 meals, I have to tight up my stomach. In order to survive, also the food there are not cheap, I bring another RM50.00 . - Then, I am going to Kampar on Jan/2008. Before going to Kampar that a 40%city 60% kampong area, I planned to buy something here. But as we all can see, I left Rm0.00!
Initially, he proposed to give me RM500.00 then I said it's for sure not enough. Then he said RM600.00/month.
Well, we'll see.
Monthly Expenses:
- Rental(RM190)
- Electricity&Water Bills(Assume RM25.00 minimum)
- Transportation-UTAR Bus. Assume RM0.70 per trip(Petrol price going to increase SOON). One day travel go and back then RM1.40 per day. One week say 6 times, one month(4weeks) then 24times,let it be 25.{RM1.40*25= RM35.00} p/s: 25 times NETT!!
- Online services(streamyx), ASSUME RM10.00/month.
- 3 meals per day. Since Kampar is 40%city 60%kampong, I ASSUME the food there is cheaper. Say, RM3.30 per meal, WITHOUT DRINKS. Everyday I have to eat, thus,{RM3.30*3 meals per day* 30 days per month=RM297.00}.
- I staying alone without family, of course I have go shop for some groceries. Things are so expensive, but still, I put RM30.00/month for groceries.
- Study stuffs: including stationar,printing photocopying, say RM10.00/month.
RM600.00-RM190.00-RM25.00-RM35.00-RM10.00-RM297.00-RM30.00-
RM10.00=RM3.00
Thus, I have RM3.00 left for any "accident" that might happen.
- I must not travel more than 25times to UTAR in a month.
- Every meal must not spend more than RM3.30.
- Must not order drink whenever I eating outside.
- Must find some good house mates that will not make the electricity and water bills exceed RM25.00.
- Must not get injured 'cause I have to think twice even to buy a handiplaster.
- Must really save money if I want to go back to hometown.
May be you'll say why don't I go for part-time job? Well, my parents, they are not paying for my fees, I MUST really study hard to get scholarship to pursue my degree, so, I WHERE GOT ENOUGH TIME FOR THAT!? Even you do not need to fight for scholarship, also you will not have the time for working. So, just forget about the job.
In the conclusion, I decided not to got for the Pangkor trip(No$ punya people tak layak to go), sorry friends. I decided not to go back to hometown even CNY. I decided to let my weight drop 1kg per month. I decided not to argue with my dad for this amount of money. Lastly, I decided to shut up and study.

hey, so you're not going to Pangkor Island? Well, if you're willing, there's no need to eat outside everyday. You can choose to cook. Well, that's if you're willing to do it. Stock up your supplies for the whole week. I'm sure the vegies there are much more cheaper compared to KL. Still, it's up to you whether you want to "touch" the kitchen or not. Haha~ For breakfast and lunch, you can even prepared in advance in home like sandwich, salad, fried rice or something. Though it needs a little bit time, you can somehow save some money...
