Happy Birthday Nikon and Gambler~~
Wish you all the best... And hope that you'll have a great party at weekends~~

To Nikon and Gambler, I wish you guys a Happy Birthday!

thx for the birthday wishes, everyone <3

Thank you Mibuchiha! It would be even better if we could meet up. =D

On the bright side, things should take a turn for the better after today? More freedom?



Remind me when it is your birthday. I tend to forget stuff at times, but celebrating birthdays with friends is a must. :)



I don't know much about Touhou, but if I ever need to learn, I know where and whom to turn to. :)



The same can be said of yourself as a friend. Don't forget to check your PM.



Actually, I am curious; why oatmeal cake? Shouldn't it be honey cake, if there is such a delicacy in the first place? ^_^;;



Your kind thoughts are appreciated. However, do pardon my ignorance; what exactly is MOAC? ^_^;;



Hehe, I think you wished us more than once right? Thank you very much for the birthday greeting.



As you have mentioned, I do hopes some of my dreams and wishes come true.



You mean I never told you!? :D Nonetheless, thank you for your birthday greeting.



The Japanese brackets are soon going to become your trademark feature, if it isn't already the case. :)



Where have you been? It has been quite a while since I last saw you and I hope you are doing well with your collection of mousepads? We got to speak with one another more often.



I believe I can always count on you for festivities and celebrations. :)



I hope you are enjoying your new username?



Fuzzy bear owes you a few more bear hugs!



I did not get to eat as much delicacies as yourself, but the celebrations did not go too badly.



Likewise, thank you, Sir Girutiya. ;)



Thank you. There might be a few more gatherings with friends. But hopefully, there wouldn't be much smoke. ;)



Thank you to you as well. High time to have more fun, no pun intended. =D

That being said, I did have a pleasant time on Saturday. Went singing at a karaoke with friends, even though it was not as sophisticated as those machines seen in Japan, whereby points and scores will be given after singing a particular song. I ate vegetarian japanese food for dinner and it was surprisingly good. Dishes tasted like the real deal and the price was reasonable for the portion of food given.

In addition, I received a few presents from my family and friends, and there may be more to come, depending on whether they remember. Fortunately or unfortunately, I am a thick-skinned bear demanding for my presents. ^_^;;



As seen in the above images, I received a new working bag, a cake and some subsidy for a Nintendo 3DS. I am currently in the midst of learning how to operate the 3DS since it has been a while since I last owned a console. Hopefully, there will be opportunities to play online games with some of my fellow Fakku members in the near future. At the moment, I only own Nintendogs + Cats. As usual, I am a sucker for cute games. ^_^;;

Lastly, Selamat Hari Raya to my fellow Fakku members who are celebrating the occasion!

Oh dont you worry. We will someday. One of the places I wanna visit the most is close to your place after all. XD

Mhm, if I manage to last another 2 days, yep.

Hmmm... What exactly would this place be? In addition, why 2 more days? Due to the celebrations?

Judging from the wish you gave us, I now take it you're Malaysian? :D

Eid Mubarak back, my furry friend!

*hugs*

Not exactly. I live in Southeast Asia, so I am somewhat familiar with the regional holidays. In addition, I also have to take note of them with regards to the import and export schedule. :)

*Bear Hugs* all the same.

So you're celebrating Hari Raya too eh Gambler?
Its still early but~~ Selamat Hari Raya juga~~
Happy Eid Fitri, Cell~~

hold your lusts after the celebration day, okay? =P

The university gambler. I did say I wanna see how awesome physicists over there are. XD

Haven't ever heard the line "There's a bear in my oatmeal!"?
It's been so long now that I've forgotten what show it's from though.

The cake you got looks quite classy actually hah.

Topic change time? XD

Can't wait for the next one~

Bump for Gambler.

Finally a relevant bump! :)

I don't quite get any allowances, just got some money this Eid, and used half of it to buy myself a new and expensive headset. Lol.

I'm saving up the rest in case I really want to buy something in the future. And well... I usually end up saving for internet cafes when I don't get to use an internet connection at home.

I'm actually a student whose funding for university comes entirely from my parents. I get $10,000 put into my account that pays for everything (fees, rent, food, etc) and when I run out I ask for more. Of course, we're not a loaded family and it's a lot of trust they put in my direction for giving such freedom to me.

As for how I take care of the money, I pretty much pay the fee for Uni first hand (usually a few thousand dollars per semester) and then I only pay for the rent, utilities and living essentials. As for luxuries such as games, tech gadgets, stuff like that, I refrain from buying them as much as I can so the $10,000 can last as long as possible before I go back to my parents asking for more. I only buy things outside of living necessities when I feel there is an absolute need to buy them.

I'd expect someone in your situation to work and gain more money? But eh, "think different" I guess. Lol.

I'm actually a student whose funding for university comes entirely from scholarship. When I got the offer, the first thing my parents said to me was "We ain't gonna dish out any money for this. You deal with it somehow." Luckily I got a scholarship so yeah. =3

As for how I spend it... 45% - 55% of it goes to fees, of course. Then for the rest, I wing em for living expenses books etc. There's no fixed way to spend it, I just spend it when I feel like it. In the "Oh shit-" case of me spending it all when there are still weeks to go, I just do some odd job or whatever to gain some money lol.

Also, speaking of money... Kinokuniya is a dangerous place. XDD

Yes, I do earn money through eBay and also by selling apps I develop, but I don't really consider that a 'salary' or 'allowance', and thus was excluded from the question.

I don't earn much so my money goes mostly on just essentials really.
I don't buy games often, more music actually.
Currently saving up for a trip next year though.
