Shopping...
Being an avid shopper myself, or rather an "ex-avid shopper" ?
Money was never safe in my hands. I had a habit of spending whenever I get the chance. Most of the time, it was on frivolous items that served little to no purpose only to be ended up on my list of junk items at home.
However, a few months back, I started working and apparently thats when I realised that I should start cutting back on my expenses and start spending frugally on things that was really necessary.
So, let's cut to the chase and go about a few shopping tips!

Regret.
That bitter uncomfortable feeling that haunts us at least once in our life. Caused from an action or an inaction of an event. That builds a massive guilt within us that only worsens overtime.
Like a tumour growing from within us, killing us slowly.
Second by second... Minutes... Hours... Days... Months... Years...
It is toxic.
Outwardly, we are able to fool people with the smiles that plaster across our faces, going about our daily routine.
However, only we know deep inside, the guilt that we are harbouring is growing, spreading and expanding, seeking an exit.

The best and worst time of my education experience all tangled up in one.

I was just ready to wash my hands off them. That was the old life. A new one was waiting for me and I wasn't going to sit around and let the negative atmosphere hold me back.
I didn't want to see these people again except my friends. I just couldn't be bothered. I wanted a fresh start.

The word itself doesn't seem encouraging or uplifting.
Every once in our life, we are bound to fall into such a traumatic experience. It's like being trap in a hole where even the slightest optimistic value has its shadow and we believe that nothing, NOTHING can cure this bitterness.

I was born into an interracial household, my mom being Filipino and my dad, a Malaysian. Nevertheless, I experienced the education which most Malaysians do. I went to a public school.
I moved to Johor Bahru when I was a toddler at around the age of 1 and lived in a company's quarters. Life was not easy as I wasn't exactly born into an average family since my family was heavily indebted by credit cards due to frivolous expenditure.
With that being said, I never had the opportunity to learn any musical instruments like most do at a young age. I missed my chance at learning the ballet and swimming. Themeparks were expensive, even travelling to visit my grandparents and extended family in the Philippines was expensive.
However, things took a toll at the age of 11 when we moved out of our then location of company's quarters to a different location. We were blessed as our life began to improve and our debts were cleared...
