Excuse the wisecrack. I'm just not in my right mind at present.
So. First things first. I'm an idiot.
I got to class late today, due to some unforseen circumstances at home. XD Don't ask, I won't tell. Let's just say, by the time I'd left my house, I was GRINNING. Like an IDIOT. Which was BAD, essentially, because I was LATE FOR CLASS.
So I finally get to uni, park, and run like a mad woman in the rain towards my non-existent class. Non-existent, because they switched venues. Whoopee.
Obviously, I'm not smiling anymore by then.
Class ends, I go to the bank with Wei Lian to get my house rent; and discover--
--I'd left my wallet at home. *screams*
So I drive home, get my wallet, and drive out to Ikano for dinner. I brought along my boots, because the soles were starting to fall, and there was a 'professional shoe repair' shop in Ikano.
As it turns out, the cost to REPAIR my boots are MORE than what they actually COST. XDDDD
OBVIOUSLY I'm repairing the boots in good ol' cheap Penang, sheesh. Just because I'm some jakun kampung girl doesn't mean I don't know anything. =.=
Plus, the girl who looked my boots over was SO obviously bored out of her skull. I'd be too, if I had to fix shoes all day. Hmph. Whatever happened to 'service with a smile'?
Then I walked over to The Curve to check Borders out for my book. And WHOOP-DE-DOO! They don't have my BOOK! *screeches some more*
Seriously. Is it so hard to put in an order for 'Sword-Dancers' by Jennifer Roberson? No? Obviously not. Fine, I'll just take my business to Kinokuniya, you bunch of sadist book-sellers. How -dare- you keep us bookworms from our books!
Next up: Ikea for dinner. I've had a craving for the Ikea hotdog + soft-drink combo since I was back in Penang. It's affordable (come ON, RM 3 for a BIGASS hotdog, on which you can pile all the relish, onion, mustard and chilli on, and refillable soft drinks?), and it tastes great.
So I sat there, ate, drank, and read Jane Eyre. Mr. Rochester amuses me; he's such a self-righteous bastard, but I love him all the same. XD
Then I went shopping for some food supplies; biscuit-sticks and love letters, ham and bread.
Oh. One thing that REALLY hacked me off the whole time?
WHAT'S WITH ALL THIS VALENTINE'S DAY BULLSHIT?!
Okay. Here's how it goes. I walk into The Curve: GIANT, ACID-PINK HEART SHAPES ALL FREAKIN' AROUND ME! I walk across the Body Shop: "PERFECT GIFTS FOR VALENTINE'S DAY!".
And THEN. BORDERS: "LOVE IS IN THE AIR."
What the hell, people? Don't you realise half the population is single, and we all -really- hate all this Valentine's day BS?
Ugh, all that red and pink. It's like Cupid vomited all over the place. Sheesh, Aphrodite, keep your kid in check.
And yes, I am -exceedingly- bitter. If you're part of a happy couple, make sure you don't flaunt it in front of me. I might just bite. =.=
...alright, alright, rant over. Sunshine and puppies all over again. *throws confetti and munches on daisies*
rants,
romance
