Private Post. Only Boon Huat can read this post.

I don’t know what I’m going to do. Everyone keeps asking me to get this settled, get that settled… how can I pay for anything right now? Even my severance package was only 3 months worth. It’s enough to survive on, but not for long. And definitely not for the enormous bills that this wedding is racking up.

    Bro, don’t worry, it will be ok… at least your boss was nice to you.

  2. John on September 18, 2009 12:06 pm

    Nice to me?! They gave me 24 hours to clear my desk. You slog and toil and work late for 3 years, and this is what you get. A kick in the face when you’re already down.

    That’s too much, man. Eh, don’t think about them any more. No use crying over the spoiling milk, right?

  4. John on September 18, 2009 12:07 pm

    Huh? What milk?

  5. Boon Huat on September 18, 2009 12:07 pm

    The milk! If you spill.. spoil… spin… uh… if you drop the milk then you cry, right?

  6. John on September 18, 2009 12:07 pm

    Boon, why are you talking about milk???

  7. Boon Huat on September 18, 2009 12:08 pm

    Er.. never mind.

  8. John on September 18, 2009 12:08 pm

    Anyway, I’m not going to think about my ex-company any more. Instead, I can think about… how I’m going to pay for Leng’s dream wedding – with money I don’t have!

  9. Boon Huat on September 18, 2009 12:08 pm

    Is there anything I can do to help, bro? :(

  10. John on September 18, 2009 12:08 pm

    I don’t think so, Boon. I don’t see any way out of this. Well… maybe one way.

  11. Boon Huat on September 18, 2009 12:08 pm

    What is it?

  12. John on September 18, 2009 12:09 pm

    You’re not going to like hearing this.

  13. Boon Huat on September 18, 2009 12:09 pm

    Uh oh. Not… the car?

  14. John on September 18, 2009 12:09 pm

    Yes. I’m going to have to sell the car.

  15. Boon Huat on September 18, 2009 12:09 pm

    NOT THE CAR!!!! OI!!! ARE YOU MAD??!!

  16. John on September 18, 2009 12:09 pm

    I don’t have a choice, Boon. I’m out of options.
