Been trying to survive with 20 bucks per week.

That is two lunches/dinners per week outside. This is the third week, and I am still surviving i guess.

20 bucks per week means when you see mcdonalds just around your footstep, you have to say no and keep walking - when you smell that double layer whatever new burger from hungry jack, you gotta stop breathing - when your colleague is eating that delicious KFC lunch pack, you have to avoid him/her because the desires will kill you straight away - surfing through ebay and found that batman shirt for only 20 bucks but you have to close the browser to avoid temptation - have to transfer all remainings in saving accounts into the power saver account and thats it, stop logging into the internet banking and let the money stays there as long as possible.

Never mind. I have to save for my mid-year and year end holidays. Also, not to drive to work although there is one parking space for me since my colleague will be on site until end of the month. Taking a bus will save me on petrol - which i dun have to pump so often these day.

Speaking of which, taking a bus can be quite annoying considering the fact that some passengers can be very irritating. Some not-to-do in a bus

TURN on the volume to the max of your mp3 player. I mean, if you want to do it elsewhere, be my guest. But not on the bus when there are people around - be more considerate please. And also, stop repeating the song!

TALK loudly as if this is your private soundproof living room. Moderate voice is acceptable, but not as in talking to your friend who sits 10 rows ahead of you. And sometimes people can even smell your bad breath. Noise pollution can be worst than air pollution, you know that? I aint paying to listen to all these.

PUSHING around behind the back seats. It's just annoying. Please behave like a human being.

PLAYING with mobile phone ringtones. I mean, who are you trying to impress? Most people these days have more than one mobile phones, so you aint impressing anyone alright? Beat it.

STANDING when there are plenty of seats available. Please take a seat and make yourself comfortable. You are blocking the way!

PUTTING your bag on one seat when the bus is packed. Your bag aint paying any fares, so just sit inside and let others have the chance to seat! This is extremely annoying ok?

SITTING on the priority seats. I mean, if you want to sit there, it's perfectly ok. But do watch out for people who need the seats more than you do. Be more alert and sensitive since you are sitting there, there are pregnant women around you know! Dont sit there like some mechanical object.

STANDING still like some robots. People need to get onto the bus for work as well. Please move to the back in order for more people to be able to get onto the bus. Don't stand there like a statue, expecting people to walk pass your butt to get to the back. Sometimes people have to stand so front ahead because of you refusing to move. That can be quite dangerous, you know?

Anyway, server's back online. So have to resume work. Heaps of do for this month!
