Crisis 09

Guess 2009 isnt’ a good start globally.. Not for my household especially.

I guess i really haven’t felt the full impact of economical condition… No wait. I haven’t been oblivious to the news despite my lack of interest in current affairs. Being in my current work place exposes me to incessant whines and complains about the “bad economy” and “no bonus” etc etc.. but still, it hit me hard when it’s got a direct implication to my household.

How daft could i be, it’s a GLOBAL economic crisis, and how could my family be immuned to it? Guess i’ve been living in a semi-permeable warp of mine, staying constantly intuned with the market conditions when it’s got a implication on a work context, but totally forgetting that it would be impacting my family’s livelihood and my own as well.

Mum came to me n told me to be more prudent with my $$, and spent wisely. she’s not the type that gives lengthy naggy sessions, but she started off in a subtle way by telling me that i have too much clothes. hahaa.. Perfect. She broke the news to me that dad’s gonna have to take a 25% paycut.. *SHIT* … and with that, he’s starting to feel the pinch of all the bills etc etc… I feel like crap. Why? maybe it so happens that i’ve defaulted on this month’s household allowances! not that it’s done on purpose, but its Xmas followed by New Year and all the bzbzbzbz etc etc etc.. that i just forgot!!

Im sure she wasnt saying this just to make me feel bad, but i think its time to contribute more!? She only told me to spend less.. but i feel very very terrible knowing that my parents are going through a stretch just to meet the household bills and spending etc.

Gonna re-do my budgeting, stick to it, and contribute more to the household i guess

Maybe when i finally have my own place, then i’d know how it’s like to be burdened by these stuff. for now, it’s feeling my parent’s burden that’s making me feel bad/sad/concerned/worried.. whatever u wana call it.
