I like Money

Money is great! It buys you nice stuff, allows you to take cabs everywhere, pays for massages, pedicures, good food and wine...and SO MUCH MORE!!!

Sometimes, I wish I was born swimming in money, or married someone swimming in money.Guess NOT. haha.

A famous local socialite was once asked: "What's the secret of your success? " (meaning, how did you, an ah lian turned SQ girl become a Hermes-toting, Patek Phillipe wearing rich tai tai?). Her answer? "Never marry a local man."

Classic.

As I now live from hand to mouth, spending whatever I can after paying off card bills, loans and trying to contribute to my parents as well as now my own family, I realised, with some amount of surprise, that I am HAPPY! How weird. Since I don't tote no Hermes bag, no overpriced Franck Muller watch adorning my wrist, and not zooming off in my SLK. But I'm still happy!! God really works in his mysterious ways, teaching us to appreciate what we have.

Yup, much as I still have not-so-secret hopes of my husband making big bucks so I can be like abovementioned socialite, I think this current situation suits me.

At the risk of sounding pathetically cliche, there are the little things that can make you happy. And since I'm a queen of lists, here is a short one:

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY:

1. Losing weight
2. Some bitch that I don't like gaining obscene amounts of weight (hahah)
3. Chatting with Andrea on the phone
4. 4pm "Hoegarden" breaks with FK
5. Talking nonsense with Yona and making her laugh (yes, you ARE my number one fan! )
6. My husband occasionally buying me little treats. The funny man bought me a cool board game called BLOKUS which I have been hankering after. And he even played it with me!! (He hates these games)
7. Mahjong sessions with Ben and Gi
8. Finding Yvonne again. : ) (Babe, I missed you and am SO glad you're back!)
9. When Connie Yeow comes home to visit
10. Talking and greeting DN in our secret 'coo' language.
11. When clients pay us on time
12. Getting my salary
13. Looking and playing with cute babies. (esp Ashley!!)
14. Buying things for my parents, and bringing them out for huge meals.
15. Singing KTV and making fun on MT for making up her own music. WHAHAHAH
