today i pondered on some wise words: there are two ways of becoming rich...
to amass possessions or to reduce your wants.
the first is closed to me.
i thank the common sense which tells me that!
but the second is open...
to reduce my actual needs, and to see what i can do without and still live happily.
it can be fun, a kind of permanent challenge, to a simpler life-style
checking up on what i have before acquiring more. making over, re-styling, making do as in wartime economies.
fortunately, i have ceased growing upwards, and i am careful not to grow outward by putting on weight.
so my clothes last longer, and that is all to the good. although none of this will give me a larger bank balance but at least it will give me a serenity of mind and health of body. And that is one way of becoming rich in my opinion.
the term's starting in about two days and im excited but nervous. we are introduced to a new system and we are gonna be in studios with a smaller company of friends. im not even sure whether i'd be with my current classmates.bah.this really sucks.
anyhow, here are some pictures of new year's eve at matt's. enjoy!
we gave our tummies a break and bummed around the house.the guys were watching kung pau,the show's damn retarded but really hilarious!then the girls and i played uno.i really love that game! then we went onto uno stacko.this time the guys joined us.then we played snakes and ladders.old school huh! gerry and ade left early, and it was just the few of us left. ian and i were up til 6ish, then i gave up. woke up like four hours later,turned on the tele and caught 'son of the mask'. then matt and angie gave me a lift home.ahhhhh. there you go.my new year's eve, spent with the loveliest people on earth (:
