Newsesses of 30rd Match 2010
Number 1
The conditional offer letter I got from UniSA definitely did wonders to lighten up my mood. I'm not 100% confirmed yet but I'm finally on my way out of this limbo.
But before I got that bit of good news, I haven't been feeling good these past 2 months. Just bouts of self-loathing every now and then where I feel a little bit depressed about myself. The usual stuff.
I usually try to keep myself busy but it usually happens at night when I'm alone and have nothing to do.
Number 2
I bought a new book. Since my friend Jasmine took the book I was reading with her when I saw her during GACC in Melaka I figured I might as well get this new book that sounded really interesting.
It's titled Tokyo Vice, by Jake Adelstein. It's a 'True Crime' book where this gaijin reported in Japan tells his story about how he became acquainted with the Yakuza. It's gotten good reviews and it's looking good so far; it'd better cuz this thing cost me RM100!
Well, it would've been more expensive if I bought it from Borders...
On a slightly relevant note, Kinokuniya is the best, Borders is expensive, and MPH is downright unreliable. How can they have so many bookstores that are as large as Kinokuniya's single bookstore and they don't even have the book listed??!!
At least Borders offered to ship it in for me although it would have taken them 4 to 6 weeks. MPH didn't even know the book existed. But in the end I went to Kinokuniya and found the book there, in stock, and for RM20 cheaper than at Borders. I should have just gone there in the first place...
Number 3
I've been able to shave down my weekly spending by about 2/3rds. I now spend RM50-70 per week as opposed to the RM150-200 that I was spending every week for the past 2 years. At the very least I'm able to buy some things for myself that I couldn't afford in the past.
Say what you will but the current norm in society is still that boyfriends are expected to let their girlfriends leech off them. The worse ones are the ones who say that they don't want to, but they do it anyway, and then they feel all depressed and ashamed about it, and then they get angry if you don't let them leech.
It'd be easier for everyone involved if they'd at least get their head on straight one way or another; at least we'd have some stability.
