A rainy day dampens my mood...

I felt so down today. Was it because of the rain? I really don't like rainy days. I wanted to take up more driving revision slots, but it is too expensive and I have been spending more than usual on miscellaneous stuffs. My favourite driving instructor has been shuffled to a new group of instructors and that means I will never get taught by him again. I wanted to buy a car when I got my licence next year, but in Singapore, cars are so expensive to own, no matter how low the car price or COE price is. Today’s news stated that many people's full car loans were rejected despite earning more than $3k per month, as banks wanted to reduce their risk in this period of uncertainty. Should I get an off-peak car? I calculated and think I could handle the additional payments, but it would mean depleted savings and I fear I would not have enough for rainy days. Oil price in Singapore would never be as low as USA’s. Spending time at home would mean higher electricity bill, as I would either be watching TV or surfing the net. Nowadays, the electricity and water prices are so high that seeing the bills made me scared. I really hope my bill amount would significantly drop after the decrease in electricity price next year. Going out would cost more, as I would be tempted to spend more on food and other miscellaneous stuffs.

Now, I must convince myself that these are all nothing, compared to people who do not have enough to eat and people who have no home to go to. It is so hard to be contented with life, but I must try. It must be my lack of sleep that made me felt so down. I shouldn’t have played Viwawa until so late when I’m working the next day. Haa, I'm too addicted to its games.
