feLy’s 1st Pay
Saturday, November 22nd, 2008With a humble scale of N17, feLy the Semi-Govt servant finally received her pay slip, for the first time ever!!! Need not to say, You & I know exactly/roughly how much an N17 servant earns in the job market nowadays. With least complaint, feLy is satisfied with her highly-pressured job and the surviving pay she received. While taking one step at a time to shine, she claims victory over whatever she managed to grab along the steps, with a grateful heart in the name of Jesus. Because only by God’s grace and mercy were she be able to stand in her position right now.
With her limited first pay, she bought herself a new pair of office-wear; blouse RM39.90 and skirt RM39.90. She had her hair “trimmed” as a preparation to let it grow long (^_^) RM30. She went for a mini shopping spree, spent some RMs over unnecessary stuff, treated herself with Move It McFlurry, oh and bought a simple New Year’s Gift for her “Mr. Darcy” (have not even look for his birthday and x’mas gift).
And the excitement over the first pay continues… With her remaining first pay; after refilling petrol, paying bills, fulfilling the tradition of “ini gaji pertama saya, semuanya untuk mak” (well in her case, not ALL of course), feLy still wish to buy her another collection of Calvin & Hobbes, which she has spotted few weeks ago displayed in the bookstore at Warisan Square, after watching High School Musical III with her “Mr. Darcy”. She would also like to treat her friends on lunch/dinner - paying off the “first pay promise”. And there goes all her first pay, spent or planned for spending in satisfactory.
Last but not least (which has nothing to do with her pay), feLy would like to spend more time with her “Mr. Darcy” doing meaningful and memorable stuff together. Well of course with the aid of her pay, she would be able to plan for little surprises every now and then, not to please him, but to give out love unconditionally. And again, she can never stop thanking God for his presence in her life. Above all, her quarter-life crisis didn’t haunt her for long anyway.
