I watched as she threw her fist in the air before turning around to give me the brightest smile.
"Why are you so happy? Are you in need of money?" I asked, trying to make sense of her excitement.
"Ya, so I can go on a date with you mah", before giving me a hug.
And then I wondered to myself.
Yes, it's pay day; but why am I not so enthusiastic about it?
In fact, why should I? It's time that the company remunerate me for my work isn't it? In the past maybe, that I would be gratitude upon receiving my payslip.
But gone were the days that I think that issuing salary is an act of benevolence.
I guess besides thinking that receiving salary as a matter-of-fact, I'm not in a poor financial position.
All thanks to my sideline jobs, I have been receiving additional cash to sustain my living. AND, all these sideline jobs are paid on the spot after the day's work is done, which replenishes the wallet whenever cash falls low.
So I am never resorted into asking for advance payment, neither do I need to struggle with expenses to last till the payday.
So I guess, I'm glad I have another job to keep the cash flow healthy but I don't know how long will I be able to keep this up.
Nonetheless, it's always prudent to have an additional source of income. At least you are not entirely dependent on one.
