silly me.
i found myself feeling really broke just days after i gotten my pay and paid off all my bills.
i was a little worried when my account showed just a couple of hundreds, barely enough for me to survive the month… with other commitments to pay for.
i didn’t remember that i will be that broke.. until the other day, i was sorting out all my bills.. and i saw a receipt stapled to my credit card bill.
OMFG.
i already paid that damn bill and the other day, i made a trip to pay for it again without realising i have done so previously.
is the fatigue really getting to me?
i just dumped like a thousand dollars into the bank for NOTHING?!
looks like the perfect excuse to just keep swiping my card for the next month. since it’s ALREADY PAID FOR.
i must be the silliest person on earth to dump money into my CREDIT card account. looks like i’m giving the bank the credit instead.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.

Hi,
Would you like to call the bank and try for a refund?
I wrongly paid a 4-figure sum into my DBS credit card account when it was meant for my HSBC (silly AXS thing).
But the DBS phone-banker very readily credited the money back into my savings account after I explained the situation to him.
