Poor Me

If you see me begging along the streets of Orchard Rd, don't be surprised. I'm officially bankrupt. So share the Christmas spirit and go on, donate money to my bank account. Cash accidentally slipped into my wallet is appreciated as well.

So here I am, with too much time, too little money, sharing a few tips on how to get on with life without a penny.

1. Stay at home (you can't be tempted to buy things outside the house)
2. Surf the Net (if the bills are not paid by you)
3. Sing
4. Play guitar
5. Sort out your photo albums
6. Do your secondary school maths sums that weren't completed (prevents your brain from rusting)
7. Knit or crochet (get the threads from Mum's room, so that you don't need to buy)
8. Watch TV / DVDs.
9. Sleep
10. Chat on the phone (find a good chatter)
11. Clean up your room (or the whole house if you have the time)
12. Decorate the walls
13. Learn to cook
14. Eat at home
15. When Outside - Avoid cabs and take buses (get Daddy to top up your ez link)
16. Take a walk nearby. (avoid dingy streets. when you meet a robber, come clean and tell them you have no money)
17. Play basketball at the neighbourhood courts. (terrorise the kids to treating you a drink if you're bigger-sized.)
18. Read - Borrow books from the library (return on time else you'll be fined)
19. Pick up waste materials around the house and make something out of it.
20. Listen to music and stone in your room. (if your mind's really active, you can afford to entertain a few thoughts.)

I hope the few pointers above are useful. Now that you have saved some money, my acc. number is 1234-56789-10-11-12. Regards.
