ANYWAY, moving on to why I'm here now. Money. One thing that hogs the minds of many who are and have served national service. You officers are an exclusion muahahaha. If you are one, go away, you won't understand our plight. Ok I'm joking. How much you manage your expenses if solely up to you though. In my case, the moment I receive that chunk of digital money (since your pay is credited to your bank account first), $280 is already gone. $200 goes to savings, $80 goes to communication bills. Yeah, I'm paying not only for my personal phone use, but internet and fixed line use as well. That means I'm technically in control of whatever form (except verbal of course) of communication there is in the home. That leaves the remainder for transport, food and miscellaneous things. 

SO, due to all this, I do have this bit of reluctance of lending money to friends. I do give in most of the time as I don't have the heart to say no. Yes, this does occur at a fairly regular rate. And the time it usually takes for me to get it back, don't even ask. That's why from today onwards I've vowed not to lend any more than $10. I'm far from being considered as affluent so I hope they can understand.

Now to get my abs back.
