Earlier this morning my mom raided my wallet for a monthly financial audit.
We were shocked. Literally SHOCKED!!!
I had spent both of my savings account to almost 1% of its original amount the beginning of the month. Literally.
Man, I am SO DEAD!!!
But looking back I did make a lot of purchases using the cards.
I used it on outfits, to buy cellphone credits, to buy books, to eat, to take out cash to put in my wallet, etc etc.
Man I am such a spender!!!
And looking back to my blog posts or my tweets or my fb status updates, I shoulda seen it coming.
It was so often that I tweeted/wrote that I splurged on this and that.
Why can't I hold myself back??!!!
*sigh*
I feel so bad for my parents.
What am I gonna do?
Today and yesterday alone I went crazy and had 4 major purchases.
This is really getting out of control.

On a happier note, today after we (the family that is) had gone to UI so that I could borrow some books for finals, we went to Farra's cram school to pick her up.
We then performed salat at a nearby mosque where my dad's shoes were stolen so we went and bought him new ones at a nearby shopping center.
I had had a bad feeling about this--leaving the shoes unattended. But we prayed there times before and it was alright.
We were SO wrong.
It was just plain ridiculous that someone could perform such unseemly things at such a holy place.
Anyways, we went to Pondok Indah Mall afterwards to have lunch at Tokigawa Resto where the food ain't that good I'm telling you,
and then we went shopping.
This is when I lost control again.
Damn it.

GOALS FOR SELF:
1. Save money
Put a minimum of Rp3.000,- in piggy bank EVERY day.
2. Restrain from spending more than Rp100.000,- a month
Not included transportation costs to and from Depok/Thamrin but includes everything else otherwise.
3. STICK TO GOALS
With the Name of THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE MOST MERCIFUL. Ya ALLAH please give me strength to not follow my lust or gluttony after pretty, shiny things. Amin yaa ROBBal aalamiin.

Oh yea before I forgot. We (my mom, my sisters and I) found this sign at this gas station in BSD when we were on our way to the airport to pick up my dad on Thursday.
LOL.
Under the No Smoking sign were a list of cigarette prices.And yes they sell cigarettes at the gas station.
Of all the irony.
