Filled weekend

It's approaching the end of the month. and something to look forward to is, interestingly, work! on wednesday. :) so i have my so called 2 more days of holidays before then. i thot i could get something done on friday but was called off to help temp at at recep at a bank. earned $ that day not doing much...i read my book most of the afternoon.

it was a nice weekend anyway.

had time to play badminton with Ww's colleague & her bf today..then had dinner tgthr..then came home and had time to do devotion together, finally actually. we haven't like done that for quite a while because when school & work started we just didn't have time to really sit down to do so. we juz wanted to nua or do something else or just talk. but serious talk like this is good. (in b/w my MIL came to chat abt all kinds of stuff for 1/2 hr..and we got distracted to finish up some marking & then the emails & then his exam papers to vet).

anyway planning for the future is impt...as i've come to realize. of course Ww's the kind of person who plans for the future (almost like a hobby). so even before we bought a house, we've explored all ways we could to use it as an investment, only to realize that our gov is too smart for us (really...it's hard to try wring any money frm investing in hdbs...not the kind of investment you can do in america). so he devised this spreadsheet calculating how long it would take us to pay back our present to-be-house, with all we have and how much savings we can save...etc. honestly only ppl like him will go to that extent...it's not so in my blood. but it's great he does that. hee.
why i thot of that was because i've heard stories of ppl buying flats and selling them and regretting it after that. was it because of lack of knowledge? or understanding of the market? it really isn't easy figuring all these out. but of course sometimes like my mum, it really is not out of her choice. but we hope we can stay at where we bought for as long as we can ba.

i have a bad memory...i had wanted to blog something about something i was enlightened about...but i forgot already. argh.
