This is one thing i am so gonna admit. I am really very STINGY. hokkien definition = kiamsiap.
Im not surprise when i tell people im stingy, they always agree on what i say. Haha. I just had another one this morning, that is why i decided to write it out.
I do not know when i started to be stingy. If i can recall, i probably would say it was during college time. Financially i was not very well. So i started working, saving, and it was really hard for me to pull money out to spend on myself. I wore all my clothes till it worn out.. wasnt even aware that i actually wore one with holes on it and went to college to study! of course, realize it when my friend poke me through the hole at my back. Oh god! that was realli embarasssing, everyone must have thought i came from kampung, i guess i am.
=) haha... then i thought, it was time for me to buy new clothes, all the clothes has aged.. .they are at least 3 years old. hahahhaa..... trust me, it was THAT bad...
I even restrain myself from going out so often, most of the time are just yum cha session, because going clubbing needs a lot of money! Moreover, im hardly a drinker! im more like a Joker =). So i guessed i miss out on that journey of life as well. but then again, i do treat myself to these places, but all on my own expenses.
Then came working life, i know i need to save to start off my own. It wasnt easy, it really wasnt. I kept all the money to myself. Gave my daddy some portion of it and save all the rest up. I was determine not to spend it as i wanted to start something on my own. That went on for nearly 3 years, now here i am, on my own, its still tough, but im just glad i didnt need to take a business loan to start off. The interest would have kill me before i could even start earning the revenues.... But then i still try to save on a lot of things when i started the business, which i got a sounding from my business partner, he said if i get too cheapskate, i will spend more instead of saving it! which i just laugh it off.. But i got to admit it, i was THAT cheapskate....
All these stingyness has made myself famous among my friends, if they need any clue on savings, they will come to me...hahahaha. but they cant accept my proposal's, they just have to spend on clothes, cigarettes and alcohol, they cant stand me as i do not spend much on clothes, and luckily i do not smoke.
There was only one thing that i wasnt stingy off.. not making myself proud. but it is real from my heart. I never got stingy spending stuffs on the ones i love. especially my own gf. There maybe proposal to go travel here and there, and i always say that i have no money. But i actually try to juggle to save and bring her to the place she wants to go. I understand Girls prefer guys to save, but they actually need to buy also, because that is what they do best! no offence here, but those guys out there, i think when they see their gf getting something they like, they are always grinnning ear to ear and smiling all the way back. But sometimes i am really terrible, i say.. expensive, not worth the money, useless... but actually inside i have the money, is that i dont want to spend it. But eventually, i still give it in. Because of "love". There is no limitation to it.
Well, at least i M improving as days goes by.. what i can do best now is to keep being
STINGY! then i could at least live up to my motto, Money earn is to spend, The world is to see, and having a wife is to love her!
Hopefully i can make it lar.. simply simply say.. ahaha.. gf also dont have.. later ppl say i GILA again...
