'tis another day..
my laptop's still not ready. i sent it in for repair but still, they haven't called me. need to call them tmr to ask abt it. at least if i realize tht i need to pay for the repair fees becos whtever is wrong with it is not covered under the warranty, i can start saving up for it. not tht i've been spending much money either.
now tht i'm working i think i'm spending less money than when i wasnt (still, i'll try to find a way to fit tht piggybank tht dear kenneth n victoria have given me for my present - btw, my mum laughed at it when i showed it to her).
suddenly it's like everyone's into family reunions. wonder wht's up with tht. my cousin juz came back frm the land of america after studying and working half her life there and today aftr lunch, we're gg to her house becos she wants to reminisce with us. with whtever memories we have. no harm, i suppose. though i'm not particularly excited abt meeting her.btw, she came back cos she's getting married soon. met some taiwanese guy in america and yep getting hitched. dun get me wrong, it's not tht i'm not so much of a family person - it's juz tht.. i mean, come on, let's juz say i might be a little more excited abt meeting an old fren. the thing is, i reli dunno her at all. so in simple terms, she's juz a little more than a stranger.
and another cousin of mine (from my dad's side) is also getting married. hooray. i need to get a dress for tht occassion and hopefully i can wear tht same dress twice for both weddings. since i find tht it's reli of no pt to buy a new dress which i'll probably juz wear it once in my life two times in a row.
not reli in a gd mood today, as u probably can tell. been thinking abt some stuff. wht to do and wht not to do. wht to hold on to and wht to let go of. wht to pursue and wht to let other pple pursue.
but still, life goes on. i'm still gonna send my present to keegan. (sorry love, abt tht. been settling a few stuff lately and well, work's been tiring. but i'm sure tht's no excuse either. so u shld get ur present by next wk, latest. cos i intend to send it to u tmr.)
juz finished my ben elton book. it's called 'past mortem'. not bad a bk, if i may say so myself. quite grotesque in some details, but if u knw me well enough, tht would be one of the last few things tht will stop me from reading on (or watching on, if it's abt a movie). gonna go to the lib to rent some more of his books, as well as other authors.
think i'll go to the library at orchard aftr work tmr to find my books. shld be a fulfilling trip. though nth much is fulfilling enough (at least, not for me for i myself knw tht i'm not easily contented) these days.
