A Book, Someone?
Matun came back from her 15 days outstation in Bangkok (fully paid trip by WD, plis gimme a single reason why i shouldnt envy her!), and she gave us a very beautifully crafted bookmark as a souvenir. Each and everyone of us received a different crafted designs, and off course we were brawling like a 7 year old kids on who should get the most beautiful one. Mcm bdk2 fighting over a bookmark, hehehe.
All of us were actually head over heels on her nice bangkok chinos dat she was wearing that nite. Like Micks put it "Y didnt u get us one of those instead of a bookmark?". Hehehe. Anyway, I plan to get one 4 myself one day if ever I manage to get to Bangkok. Kene kumpul pitih dulu le nampaknye. But a trip to Bangkok in 2005 looks far away than possible. I guess I just have to be patient and sort out my financial priorities since org baru is coming in July.
This year is our most "flat broke" year in history. Besides spending lavishly on the wedding last year, we were left destitute once de wedding is over. We are now officially paying 1 service apartment in damansara perdana and a house in Bukit Beruntung. Sometimes we do feel a lil bit poignant coz we cannot really enjoy our monthly income like we used to as we carry more monetary loads than any of our frens out there. But then again, when I sit with my bumblebee, we always talk this thing out, and convince each other that we never ever once regret our decision to invest on properties. I am happy that at least I got a partner to share my burden with. We always feel that we have to do this for our future.
Currently, we are refinancing the house in bukit beruntung in order for us to settle some debts like the car and the wicked credit cards. But, going thru the process with the banks, and the lawyers were indeed tedious and gruelling than i ever thot it could be. And worse still, we ended up paying almost 10K for all the fees! (to the previous financial institution, lawyers fees, developer's fees, and miscellaneous fees.)
Demn! I almost shed a tear when I saw all the statements.
I'll tell more of this later. Its gonna make this entry too long.
Back to the bookmark chronicle, I simply love the wooden stir when I lay my hand on it . Its so subtle and elusive. I even kept it nicely in my handbag. But I havent read for ages! Well, magazines dun count lah kan. I am not an avid reader like I used to be anymore. Like my colleague said the other day " U better start reading, if not nanti ur baby malas membaca".
But what to read?
I need something to read. Usually, I have the memory of a sieve. For obvious reasons, this is generally bad. When it comes to my books though, it's a bit of a blessing as that means that I can read my books over and over again, and every time I read it, it's as if I'm reading the story brand new. However, numerous repititions of the same old stories tend to drill them into me head.
This, unfortunately, has happened with just about every book I own. Or any book I care to read right now, that is. I opened my cupboard and couldn't find a single thing to read. It's like opening a closet overflowing with clothes and having to yell in total desperation, "I have nothing to wear!!!" The girls should understand what I mean.
Nak pergi Kinokuniya or MPH, tak ada duit. Macam mana niiiiii???!!!!
I hope my bumblebee can buy me a new book to read. I hope u r reading this sayang :)
