Today is where my book begins

Last night, i decided to wash my bedsheet as i starting itching whenever i'm on it. To my digust and horror, i found a few horrible looking black bed bugs at the seam of the bedsheet. I was horrified and the next thing i do is throw away my bedsheet, check the bed and spray one whole bottle of insecticide. My housemate thought i was trying to kill myself in the room!

To my relief, i haven't found anything but i'm not going to take any chance. Later, I'm going to do another round of checks with a pesticide that can specially bust those creatures. I'm going to make a complain to my landlord when she is back next month and make sure she get a someone to do some cleaning up.

On Mon, we have a mini birthday party for one of the housemates. Here is a chance to see how my housemates look like.

Nurumo (Thai) and her hubby Yo (French-korean)

Natasha (Russian) and her bf Mile

There is also Fred (French-indian) which i forgetton to take a pic. Oops sorry. next time then.

Here is a pic of my cranky roommate from Hungary who is at work while we having the party.
This was taken recently when he went back to his hometown.

For the past 2 months, i lost my sense of purpose of coming over to UK. Thanks goodness, it came back. I was engulfed by the idea of earning big bucks here and going back home to set up small business. All day, money fill up my thoughts. I slogged through the weeks with no day off. i saved on food and entertainment. Absolutely no life.

I guess i'm getting weary and start thinking why am i doing this? perhaps i was lonely here and by working, it helps to fill up time faster.
Right now, i'm only working 35hrs a week with London Metropolitan University as a Finance Officer and 12hrs in the Japanese restaurant with a day off in the weekend. You might be thinking i'm still working so hard but with the high cost of living and the fact that i need to save for travelling, it's not too bad at all. Also, i can resist the temptation of buying clothes and going for movies once in a blue moon.

I can't deny the fact that money still poses an important factor in our life beside our ideals and dreams. Important thing is that we have to strive a balance between earning money and enjoying ourselves. I used to fantasize a world without money and barter trade when i was young. The picture that i drew in my head is always peaceful and full of harmony world. In my thoughts, i will try to figure out why there is a need for money. As years went by, i no longer try to find the answer.
When you are a child, you are always so navie.
