I've learnt a lot these past 2 days, because i made one Huge Assed mistake yesterday, and now i'm sorta cleaning up the shit for it. at the same time, i don't feel that bad, because i feel like i'm learning. i'm transitting into the world of adulthood, and slowly learning of my responsibilities, haha, maybe you can say i'm breaking out of my sheltered life (a little bit lah)
So, what did i do? I stupidly signed up for an Insurance Plan, with AIA (My godma is an insurance agent there >.<), AND i paid for a deposit, without knowing what the hell the fine print was, hell, i didn't even know what the name of the plan was! so i bet even you reading this must be thinking, 'this guy is an idiot' i don't think you are too far off from the truth... >.<
Here's what went through my mind when i signed up. i thought that mom and dad would be proud of me, cuz i'm finally taking a more active role in my finances, and getting myself a savings plan! i guess its good to have more financial control, and sometimes it might take the breaking of a few eggs, but i should learn how to manage my money and plan for the future. But when i got back and told Dad, heh, his reaction was far from what i expected. He was shocked that i didn't tell him about it, and worse still, i did an exchange of money over something so big, without first informing him! so yeah, i guess he has the right to be dissapointed.
still, it was a very good experience for me to talk to Livia (the person trying to sell me the insurance plan) because she made me consider a lot of things i haven't thought about before. like savings, and the future, ideal salaries, supporting a family, having returns, growing my money, and etc. i guess mom and dad always handled it, and i never understood how it worked. well logically, i should have approached them first, but i don't always want to be under the shelter of mom and dad, i've got to figure out a few things on my own too!
Here's my first cracked egg. sure, this time its still salvagable, thanks to Godma and Dad, other times i may not be so lucky. but at the same time, i'm glad that i got into this 'safe trouble' as i did, because its things like this where i will learn the most from, and acquire a lesson i wouldn't have as effectively learnt if it was just another lecture by mom and dad.
As i clean up this shit, i'm quite a happy camper, i guess it was about time i saw GodMa again (she's gonna complain about my weight! damn damn)
i've got quite the packed weekend (again! haha) i can't wait to meet up with the Drama peeps on Sat, meet Godma and have got rehearsal on Sun, and Monday! Kuishin-Bo with the Guys from SOA, damn, they're a good bunch, i feel so elitist >.< but i'm not, i guess that JC people just have a different culture. Mac's today was good (unhealthy... bleh, but how often do i do it right?) the company, its nice to sit around and laugh laugh laugh, sharing 'Happy Times' as Sanji would put it, though not so annoying! haha.
long weekend here i come!
