Ninety-Three
I had just about the best Malaysia trip this week, because I made such amazing buys. Seriously. I've never spent this much before - usually I'm the one who's left with the most amount of money on the last day, but this time I only had about 7 RM while Nina, by comparison, had 150 RM. Yeah. But it was so worth my money.
My two favourite buys are:
(1) The Godfather novel by Mario Puzo, for an awesome 35 RM. So ridiculous. I've been meaning to read it for a long while now, but the libraries here strangely don't have it. I actually didn't have enough money to buy this book, but I managed to convice Kak Han and my parents to 'donate a small amount of money to contribute to my literary education'. Score.
I spent all of last night reading it. My eyes had gone itchy from tiredness, but I just had to finish it. I watched the movie today. It was as good as the novel, like LOTR.
(2)
I know!! I had to have it! I hesitated at first, but really, that was just procedure. My heart was already set and my mind made up. No regrets.
Now I'm spending just lolling around with the family: listening to music, playing the computer, playing games, watching TV. I feel at peace. I think I might go to the bathroom and cry the day school reopens.
