Truly Random Post
1. Am still on my coffee abstinence effort - quite proud of it. But, dont expect it to last much longer.
2. Something mysteriously wrong with my finances. I suddenly feel I have too little money for a guy - who does not have alcohol/tobacco expenses, does not say colour his hair! or even spend on the more costly food items made of meat ( being a veggie!). I dint go back to India as often as some of my friends, nor buy any fancy electronics or Ikea products!
I have one of the lowest bank balances - that too despite my computer being funded by my brother. Bloody banks! Excepting a check on one mysterious transaction, I think all I can do is control spending from now one. BTW I truly dont knw how to get back to budgetting my expenses from now on.
This sudden finance curiosities sparked due to an inferiority complex regarding my IA paycheck - there is a 1400 $pm, a couple of 1300s, a few 1000s and many many 800s and 750s. I am a measly 540 $ - just because I had no good companies on my internship list! AAW! Life sucks.
3. Interesting incidents during my IA travelling -
-> Child walking holding mom's hand says something excitedly while I am out of range. Then I hear mom saying, " But, you cant escape it dear! Everyone has to grow up!".
-> Have you heard that particular SMRT announcement in Mandarin that goes "Jou Jou JOU" in the end? Or something like that? That day as I was (like always) pondering what it could mean there were a couple of Singaporean Chinese females who started laughing as they heard it. Then they made fun of it (I think - they spoke in Chinese after that!). But I am positive it was about the announcement because one of the girls mimicked it before starting to laugh wildly! Interesting language eh?

Vikram, you're being paid!! Thank all your stars. Us poor people stuck in India are quite ready to go for interships with no stipend at all...
TO wendelin - cos Gandhi = candy? I am sorry, I am really blur!
TO camphor - yea! the kind of things people bitch about in different places is different. I dont bitch about the lack of bhel puri stalls. And Africans talk about famine and stuff.
Indian internships are not of the same value to an Indian student as are Singapore's internships to its students.
