I have a grouse to pick with delievery people. It's either you spend the WHOLE day waiting for them and they don't arrive, or when they do, they deliever the WRONG thing. I am extremely peeved with emart. For one, I ordered army camouflage pants in LARGE, but guess what they sent? They sent three pants in size S. I can so obviously wear a size S - on my head probably, or maybe just around one leg.

I am currently stuck in a rut. Not only do I need a temporary weekday job that will at least see me until January next year, I am stuck in a kind of workout inertia. Having been sent a letter that my remedial training will commence in October if I fail to pass my IPPT again, there is a need to get my ass moving, but I haven't and that's not a good thing.

I have also noticed that the many things I want to do are monetarily linked - driving, adult keyboard lessons, Spanish lessons... These things cost money and I can't do any of them with only $280 a month when piority goes to transportation and food. That's why I want to get this bakesale thing going, but as I have noticed, there is only so much cake you can sell your friends and family. The only way of making sure this cupcake thingy sells is if I can get external people to buy it. Orders for birthdays, weddings... the problem with Singaporeans is that they don't understand why it is necessary to maintain at least a $3 price tag on my cupcakes and a $25 -$30 price tag on my cookies. The things I bake are not the cheap rip-offs many other online shops and local bakeries do. When it comes to baking, you can be ensured that the ingredients I use are of the finest quality so there is absolutely no compromise with regard to taste. People don't get that.
