New (Simpler) Way of Life

Friday night, after office hours, I decided to go to Plaza Indonesia. A friend dropped me in front of EX! They have made lots of changes on EX and PI. In simple words, you will no longer find any EX! On the previous bridge connecting PI and EX! Previously. Instead you will find this ultra - techno - avant garde design. In a short glimpse of, I decided to send a text to Bent, just in case he's at Celeb. 2 minutes after, he replied and asked to meet me at XXI and I did.

We talked a lot and he shared that he was about to take his 2nd housings (apartment for the 2nd time) somewhere at West Jakarta. And soon as he asked me whether I'd like to take the same apartment, here goes.. I got audited and I become really nude in front of him. I teld him my income and my life style. What I meant audited was really audited. He scratched out my incoming and the "normal" post I should have only.

The problem is I'm not normal. I spent 1/3 of my total salary for a rented room. Fancy enough to have me settled for the rest 13 months, Swipe my credit cards over here and there, then got confuse when I have to pay for the bill. Lots of things need to be changed in my life!!
I shocked!! Life changes means no more F words. No more Fancy - Fabulous - Fun costs to be spent anymore.

I thought quite or less enough to have me decided to move out from my fancy room to the non air con one. Skip the Air Con, skip the spaces to put all of my stuffs, and there I was move out to the new boarding house priced just half of the previous one.
Other things? No more credit card swapped. Cash only please!!
No more shopping for that "fancy" goody..
No more "fabulos' meal to have
No G nite at EX! On Saturday night ( I lost my mood to hang out and spent more cash that night)
Budget all of expenses and tight your belt..
Haha

Very well input from anyone I shared with regarding to this - so far. Bent even thanked me that I followed what he said. Pheew..
There will be lots of changes of my life. But I do hope that I will just the same Ethan as I am now. Just simpler, less fancy room I have, and .... More of savings commencing this month!! Hahahaha..

Some price need to be paid for the improvement, and I do hope that will be fabulous me then..
