sundays has kind of become 'suprise day' for the dad and mum.

they went ahead and bought a CAR for me and the brother.

okay. so it wasn't really a suprise. i've know for about....a grand whole week that my dad has been considering different models of cars. appearantly ever since i got my license, the dad has been planning to get a car. appearantly, everybody knew but me. how excellent. and here i was thinking that the nightly discussions of money stuff between the dad and the brother was for the brother's work. wut? he does finacial something in uni.

so anyway last sunday was o.O for me because i only knew of the car plans till we were in the Honda showroom. and also because all along in my head, the image of a family with two cars meant you had to stay in some landed property and happily spent a few hundred bucks on...sheesh i don't know a meal? clothes ot one go? you know, people with as much money as the amount of salt in my kitchen. so i never thought we could afford a second car. i mean seriously, the dad is the sole breadwinner, there's two kids in uni, one private, and while i can safely say i never had any moneytary woes.....i just never thought we could afford another car.

well, so my first instinct was to msg yijia is aussie which fell along the lines of "MY DAD HAS BEEN PLANNING TO GET A CAR FOR ME AND THE BRO. WHY DID I NOT KNOW HE IS THAT RICH AND WHY IS THIS NOT REFLECTED IN MY ALLOWENCE"
oh, and before last sunday i never knew that the brother gets 300 bucks more than me for allowence. i've been scrimping and saving these few months but i never EVER have enough to survive and was feeling all shiaty for asking the mom for extra money till i realised my allowence of is less than mh's bursery thingy. -_________-

so i was thinking, while i'm always saying how proud i am of my independence, i'm actually a sheltered girl with little sense of normalacy at all. sheesh. i need to get a little more street smart. seriously. wake up sweetie.

p.s everyone can forget about free rides till june/july cause that's when the car arrives. heh.
