I've been staring at the computer screen for a really long time. My computer screen, precisely my Hotmail Inbox screen, with an e-mail opened. I read it for quite a few times already, and for quite a few days. I am starting getting little bit annoyed now.
Why?
Dear Officer,

I have been trying and trying and trying to submit the MMR report with the ID & password given but the page just wouldn't load )': I felt so worried when I just can't stop thinking about the second when my Leo advisor asked me to submit the August report. I have no idea why can't I load that page. It kept on showing 'wait while loading' and I did refresh the page several times. It's definitely not the Internet problem so yeah it just won't work )':
So I texted Lion Poh Ling just now and she said she will help me with it tomorrow :D :D
Today was a rather good day. I woke up early in the morning and got ready to 1Utama. Had a really awesome breakfast at Sri Melaka (the nasi lemak was really good by the way) and had Tutti Fruiti early in the morning as dessert! HAHAHA, so satisfied and full :D
Then I met up with Cherng, Jia Vern, Jia Ern & Kim at TGIF. Order an iced lemon tea, without checking the price from the menu. Well, I was thinking that how expensive can an iced lemon tea be? 7 bucks? So I was like that's okay. Since I can't find anything cheaper than that (I mean for main courses/desserts/appetizer).
I was wrong. The iced lemon tea cost 10 bucks. So my first 10 bucks of my pocket money of the month just flew away like that )': (okay I'm exaggerating things again, but still!)
Then, well, actually it's as I was walking to TGIF, I realized that my I.C. was gone. I searched through my use-for-the-second-time sling bag as well as my purse, my pockets, but my I.C. was nowhere to be found. Then I suddenly thought of my brother and I just wanted to throw all the blame on him. I recalled what he said in the morning and I was screaming 'IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOUUU' inside my head. (Don't worry, I still look pretty cool and chill on the outside, haha!)
Mum: There you go, your I.C.
Me: What about keeping it for me? :D Well, you know, I may lose it. I've lost it before, well though I found it in the end.
Mum: But I won't be around by 2PM, so you have to keep your identity card with you.
Brother: Come on it's just a card. As the president of the club you can't even keep a small card?! Well don't let your members know that because that's just so sad.
Me: *took the card unwillingly*
See I said I shouldn't take the card. I was so panicked. (Well, I am already seated in TGIF, 50% of my attention was on what they were discussing about and I was thinking of where on earth my I.C. could be with the rest of the attention) So in the end, I called my grandma to ask her maid to go to my house (we're neighbours by the way) to check if it's on the chair or on the table in my living room but zero result )': I freaked out even more after I hung up the phone call with my grandma and went back to the table.
They're about to dismiss themselves already so I began to keep my earphone with a super heavy heart...
and then I found my I.C. lying at the small pocket at the side of the inner side of used-for-the-second-time sling bag. Then I know I just don't know this new sling bag very well after all.
& then I got really hyper and happy (well with Cherng teasing me with the way I look when I am happy) then I saw that damn bill with the 10 bucks iced lemon tea.
Bittersweet day, isn't it?
The excitement of today didn't just quite end this way, though. After I left TGIF, I was searching my way to Popular since my sister's waiting for me there, asking me if I want to buy Norwegian Wood. & I just asked her to hold on as I wanted the real cover one instead of the cast + motion picture version. But it's 10 bucks difference so I might as well just take the cheaper one to fill up the10 bucks I used for iced lemon tea...
So I searched up and down (I think I walked the whole damn shopping mall so I was thanking God that I didn't wear my wedges cause I really had this strong feeling to wear but I didn't.) Then all the security guards/customer service people were giving different kinds of direction to Popular and after 20 minutes, finally! I saw bookstore and I felt so happy because it's a new bookstore.
I like bookstores. I like places that have books. I get excited when I see books, like story books, not reference books :)
My sister showed me how Norwegian Wood look like and the cover was okay.. it was different from the one I saw in MPH, it looked much nicer than expected though the content is what I am seeking for but sorry I am very picky especially at things which I've to spend on. Heh.
However, something caught my eyes. I saw the value pack of Mitch Albom's books. So I was thinking if I should buy the three Mitch Albom's book which will cost me RM79.90 or Norwegian Wood that will cost me RM32.90?
Then I started walking in the bookstore, wanted to have a look at 'Looking For Alaska' by John Green. Well, if you guys are wondering why am I looking for these books, well it isn't because I've read their review before, or anything like that. It simply because I saw a quote from this particular book, and I like it, so it gives me the courage to buy the book and read it.
Sadly I haven't exactly found an English storybook that gives me a sense of satisfaction when I am reading it. It's either they describe about the scenery too much or I don't quite understand the vampire/zombie's love. Or maybe when best friends fight and I just hate those storyline, about this snatching boyfriends of the other, or maybe this spread rumours about the best friends. Or maybe they do have storyline which is this girl met a rock star and have this love story during summer holiday and I will like Are You Kidding Me? Well, maybe it's just me because I don't quite like story lines like those I've mentioned. Not because I can't imagine them happening. In fact, I can imagine them quite well, but I don't like that feeling because, well I just don't feel the satisfaction I get when I read some of the Mandarin novels. Sometimes I would think, is it because I don't understand them, or what? Why won't I like them like how my friends do?
But I always tell myself, maybe I am just not very exposed to English books yet, someday I will a book that I love and spend all the day with it.
Or maybe I just want to find a book that has stories/lines/words that I can relate to. Because with that I will think, instead of just reading. I guess only with that I can truly feel instead of just picturing all of them.
So in the end I bought Mitch Albom's series. Tuesdays With Morrie. I am at page 50 now :) Well, honestly I was having a hard time to choose between Norwegian Wood and the three Mitch Albom's book (since there isn't any stock for Looking For Alaska). I was thinking really, no not deep, but yeah thinking which will be a better choice for me.
I don't know anything about these books. All I do know is that Norwegian Wood is about love and Mitch Albom's books are inspirational stories. From what I heard, Norwegian Wood is pretty inspiring as well but there are many kinds of inspirations. And I guess at this point of life of mine, I need life's inspiration more than love's. I need more guidance on life more than relationships.
That's why I chose those three books. So I spent half of my pocket money of the month today.
Each time after I finished typing a post, I feel satisfied. Do you? It's like you've finally mark a postive end to your long day :)
