Indecisiveness + girls, we are just meant to be ❤

Was so deep into thoughts since yesterday, hence no pictures. haha. Just imagine lah okay! ^^

Hanged out with my friends and Eddie after work and eat dinner. Had dumplings and DAN DAN NOODLES (handmade noodles with mince meat), and they were cooked to perfection, in my opinion, cause they are real soggy and milky. But my friends hated it, saying its far tooo over cooked! 

I can't get enough of it and ordered a second bowl, and we finished it also! Hehe, I also like my korean instant noodle - shin ramyun? super over cooked. When the noodles are all fatter and softer, with soup all dried up.. its yummeh.  


Well, thats not the main point.

I asked my friends the same questions again, as I did in the previous post. They say to go for Option #1  - stay here for 1-2 more years and work (cause they said they want to see more of me ..aww :]  

Honestly, the more I think of it, the more I want to go back. 

It is actually quite stressful , to think of my expenditures, do like my own accounts everyday, because my fixed cost over here is quite high (especially my rent). Have to budget here and there, use less of this (electricity) and that (water). Quota my spendings to maximum AUD100 a week- food , groceries, entertainment all included. Its really like living in poverty , because I eat instant noodles very, very often nowadays. 

Not that I can't cook, but cooking at home with proper food...it can't go as cheap as 80cents (cost of my instant noodle). Stupid chicken breast also cost like AUD10 at least on average. I cooked Japanese Curry few days ago, and the dinner for two cost AUD12-13. And I only had 2 servings (2 slice of bread with curry+carrot on top), and Eddie ate it all up!

Not only that, I have to apply for Temporary Resident (TR). Holey, my friend was telling me the process - go for medical check up, police check up, and worse, the cost of all these are not exactly low! Approximately AUD1.7k (through agent).

I am living very, very unhealthily! Work in ice cream shop , eat ice cream almost everyday. 

Whereas,
Option #2 - go back home and work.

Only have to worry about me not shopping too much at home, and food and all is provided (especially dinners and weekends with parents)! No rent to worry about, can shower half an hour, sleep with lights on (yesh I do that!), home gym- can get into shape, live well,  and best of all, see my family, relatives, cousins..etc. 

Well, the option with less money involved seems like the more happy/fulfilled/idealistic option. The money making option seems like a real stress to deal over there, its like if I overspent, its the end of my goal into saving money to bring back!

Morale of the story,  money does not bring happiness. lol. Its hard to get it into our thick skull, isn't it.
