Another day of firsts

How fast it is tt the money u've earned for a mth's worth of work comes into ur acct & goes out really quick. It takes quite a while to get in but comes out in less than a blink.. Bills, household, necessities, funds, etc.. within a span of a day abt $800 plus has been spent. Whoa! Since the Chinese New Yr is approaching, I spent some money get a nice gold-plated pig coin to give to my Bear's parents, hope they'll like the little New Yr gift =) Also bought for us two lil gold boars, nice way to mark the coming new yr.. I've never bought such things but like during my China Trip, there're always a time for 1st things.. heh heh

I'm also kinda keeping it in mind & hopefully can keep to it, a lil health investment for myself. Been thinking about it of late quite a while so I think it's an investment that should be done & started soon. Hence, I made my 1st health investment purchase today of $76 - a bottle of supplement for my weak joints (hope it'll help my knee caps esp. my previously dislocated one) & another bottle of vitamins & minerals supplement. A gd start but I'm hoping to keep it up for a long long time.. have done so some yrs back but never saw it thru for long.. hahah.. Besides tt, I bought an interactive CD-Rom 'Learn Spanish'.. hee hee.. I've been wanting to learn Spanish about 5 yrs back but never got to learning it seriously. My dad had said tt it wasn't practical to learn Spanish as it's not widely used in many counties. I've had bought a Spanish-English dictionary & a conversational bk but never really used 'em much. Come to think of it, my conversational bk had been lent to my aunt yrs ago & she's still not returned it.. darn, must make a mental note to get it back. It's tough trying to learn Spanish frm bks so I'm hoping to save enough & finally go for classes. Let's see how tt takes me.

Another 1st for today was succeeding in cooking Swedish meatballs for dinner.. lol.. my dad had bought the necessary stuff frm the Ikea Food Market & left me to do the cooking. Thankfully, they came out fine & I can now proudly add tt dish to my list of dishes tt I can cook.. haha.. sure the meatballs are the frozen ones & the sauce is pre-packed (just boil cream & water & then add in the powdered gravy mix) but I still did it & it could be eaten.. & I made the mashed potatoes & buttered broccoli frm scratch, so there =p

Supernatural's now on Channel 5 & I must say it's a pretty interesting show, sth different frm the usual.. Survivor's gonna be on later & even tho' it's gone thru so many seasons & does get quite dull, it's still the bitchiness & dirtiness of the game tt gets to me.. heh heh.. this season's dirty fest is abt to kick in, seeing how everyone want Ozzy out now as he's the strongest since Day 1 & he's the only member of the Hispanic grp left. I'm also looking forward to the return of Grey's Anatomy (hopefully I won't get too busy to catch it) & the Ghost Whisperer & the debut of Ugly Betty.
