Guide to having a Life?

Wow! This is the shoe i wanted! That shirt over there looks so cool! Oh wait, i want that pair of jeans too! The new Sony Ericsson handphone looks so sleek, time for me to switch my phone! Hmmm need to buy an electric guitar to practice as well!


Dammit.

No money to buy everything. This probably happens a lot.

Although there are so many things to buy, there isnt enough money for me. I initially wanted to get a job, but am scared that there will be too much stress during project weeks (actually i think i am just lazy). So in order to buy this things for a life, i need to save up!


My Guide to having a Life

Firstly, if you are living off by the allowances your parents give, you know you have to save them up. Well, everyday you go to school you spend money on foods and drinks. As for me, i really spend a lot on satisfying my stomach and my taste bud's craving. So the best solution is to eat a really heavy breakfast. Foods like cereal breakfast is really good. They are made from wheat and oats. Together with milk, its really like what the advertisements say, wholesome and full. Then, since you had such a big breakfast, you only have to eat a little bit during tea break.

Secondly, you must have great mental control. The smell of all the delicacies will probably make you buy them. So to counter this, try not to pass through canteens or restaurants. Then you will not think about food and have an illusion that you are hungry.

Lastly, also the most effective saving method, is to become a "no-life-r". This method is by far the best, most easily controlled way and moreover you get to eat anything you like. Everyday after school, just dash back home immediately. Once you are back home, get on your computer and start playing a game that will make you really addicted to.

Note: Try not to play Maplestory, most likely you will get tempted to buy its Maple pre-paid card which will make you lose more money then ever.

So by doing so, you will save a lot of money. Both on food and on entertainment. Each week, you will have enough money to go for a movie and still have enough to buy some clothes at the end of the month.

Theres this equation plotting life against money:
No Life = money * 0
Having a life = money * infinity

So...
The secret to saving up money to get a life later is to be totally no life first.

This method has been known to work between some friends although you might not like it or try it. Well, i only tried the last method. It was ridiculously effective.

Anyway, "A" Levels is finally OVER! Congratulations! I am so happy. Not that i am an "A" Level taker, but because my friends were taking it and i did not have the chance to hang out with them during that period. Totally over-joyed, i think you, "A" Levels students should give some sweet feedback to your great teachers! Heres a link for some innovative feedback you could write.
