District 15

District 15 is where I grew up and District 15 is where I want to stay on. Property prices are so high nowadays that I am really worried that I can't afford any type of housing in this vicinity. I guess I have to save more to buy something within my budget although I really hope that my dear will support in whatever way possible too. Two incomes are better than one.

Really hate it for not taking charge of my last property purchase so this time around I will do it based on informed choice. Even if I have to buy a place other than District 15, I will make sure it is value for money.

Down with the fu....

The last week was kind of eventful for me, health-wise. I was playing basketball (for the 1st time) with my colleagues when I severely sprained my ankle. It was a blur how that happened; just remembered I was up against a colleague when he spun away from me and I followed. Unfortunately, my track shoe was firmly planted on the cement ground while my ankle twisted with a crack sound. Well, the sprained flared up quickly and by late evening I had developed a swelling that was worrying. I went to my friend's clinic the same evening and was advised to get a X-ray on it the next day.

The X-ray was done and was just a severe sprain. Too bad it happened on Thursday evening else I would have been given at least 3 days of medical leave. All the pain for nothing... Damn.

Anyway, I kind of developed a flu over the weekend and felt weak today so I visited the company doctor who in turned issued me a day's medical leave. Well, as I said, a rather eventful week which caused me a lot of physical pain and discomfort. Hopefully, things will look up (and way up) for the rest of the year.

Disappearing $ again.....

Really hate it.... Losing money from my investment again.... Simply no luck whatsoever in my pathetic life. Did I use up all my good luck in my earlier years or what to keep seeing my money disappear into thin air?!

Don't know how long it will take for me to recover from this latest setback. If I had known, might as well spent the cash on something tangible. Now as it is, I saved and scrimped but ended up having nothing but heartaches and headaches...... Just in a blink of an eye it was gone.

When I don't do anything, things are always good but immediately once I try to do so, the non-Midas touch comes into play. Sigh.... why is my luck so poor?
