Here sitting in the van while accompanying my dad at work. It’s the 20th, meaning it’s my sister’s 15th birthday. Yes, no matter how old she’ll be, she will always be that small little cutie patootie to me. Maybe thats how my parents feel when they look at me, now I understand. 

Yesterday I made a really big decision with my finances (at the moment) I already had planned out how I’ll be saving up for the year of 2017. I was planning to save up a few thousands by this year for a driving license and a macbook. I decided to forgo education first because I’m still unsure of what to pursue, for now. My windows laptop from poly days is slowing down with every passing day and I’m afraid it might fail on me. It’s been my dream to own a macbook since I discovered Apple back in primary school. After much thinking, I realised it wasn’t worth it to wait for December to buy myself a macbook. I still had enough to get myself one now, and so I decided to ask for advice from the technical genius himself, my dad. 

It didn’t take me much convincing because I knew he’ll give me the best advice regarding tech. I narrowed down the models that I was interested in and asked him what’s the differences between them. He also asked me if it was necessary to get one now. My mum on the other hand, told me that if I’m not rushing to get the macbook, I can wait for another few months so that by the time I have more than enough money, it’s better to get it. But one really bad trait of mine is when I have my eyes on something, I’ll never let it go until I get my hands on it (not applicable to guys) so it took me a few more tries, and my dad backing me up, my mum then agreed on it. 

After that hole in my pocket yesterday, I kinda need to rethink my expenses and how I plan on saving money HAHA. I even told my parents to stop me from getting unnecessary items but we all know how big I am on self control. Scratch that, I’m good at self control, but when it comes to my family members, I can spend hundreds without thinking.  

So off I went with him and my sister to the nearest Apple Store and bought myself this baby. The feeling is still surreal, knowing that I finally get to own a macbook. Today I went searching for a sleek cover and screen protector for my baby and spent my day with my dad. I always love following my dad and it warms my heart to see that he is working so hard to provide us for the whole family all these years being the sole breadwinner. I tend to forget that he’s not getting any younger and when I saw him carrying heavy objects, I just wish for him to be as strong as ever. Now that I’m working, I need to lessen his burden too..so that he can go to work peacefully knowing that I’m able to help him too. 


figured I needed to release my thoughts healthily, so here you go. pretty stoked for tomorrow as I'll be meeting gzb for a day out and dinner with girlfriends afterwards. gonna prepare for my sister's birthday, till next time.

with love, haz x
