RM11.24

I've had a mini collection of 1 sen coins that I've kept since like, forever. Didn't know what to do with them till I realised I'd better start thinking of something to do with them. Malaysia's ridding us of them for good, remember? So before I find myself running a loss (FYI, Penang kia very kiam wan. Cannot do anything to buta-buta lose money wan.), I figured I'd better convert them all to some REAL money I can put to good use.

So, to the bank I went, with my mini pouch
of earthly fortune held tightly in my hand.

I got the pouch from a friend a few years ago.
I think it was a Christmas gift. But then again,
maybe not. I'm not sure. I can't remember. =p

As you can see from the way my palm and fingers strained
against the weight of the pouch, it was heavy. Very heavy.

And heavy means a lot of money.
(In quantity lah. In value, a bit different.)

The bank called a few hours after I deposited the coins to tell me that I'm getting RM11.24 for it. Not bad, right? Haha. For that mini pouch. But then, they said that that amount comes AFTER a 5% transaction fee for coin processing.

WHAT!?

What in the world is a coin processing transaction fee!?
My goodness! Maybank is such a total rip-off!!!

If RM11.24 is but 95% of my total, my total would have been RM11.831579. Hmmm. Not much of a diff but... RM0.591579 also want ah!?! Take lah! Take! TAKE IT!!! Take my Snoopy pouch while you're at it. HMMPH!

I Can't Count

Haha. Someone just alerted me that I got my days wrong. Like terror-ly wrong summore, man. Haha. *shy* You see, it's FOURTEEN days to Christmas... and not 24 like I said before.

Whoopsie.

*blush*

Sorry lah. Was feeling like crap yesterday cos of an overdose of second hand smoke inhalation. I only stayed up long enough to post cos I promised you guys earlier that I would update and launch the Christmas banner at the stroke of midnight. I did it between hugging the toilet bowl and puking my insides out, okayyy. See? Woman of my word. It's just too bad that although I'm fine with words I can't for the life of me count backwards. =p

It's. FOURTEEN. Days. To. Christmas!

Surprise!

It's exactly 24 days to Christmas. 24 days only! I'm excited. Haha. Put up my first Christmas tree of the season today. Sweeeeet. That being said, I guess it all kinda makes it not-too-late to start sending out my Christmas greetings. Haha. So, here it is: -

Have a very Merry Christmas this year, guys!

It's out with the Birthday Header (for now)...

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

Walk back to the car in the rain, get drenched, ruin my shoes and shiver all the way home in bad-weather traffic... or stay late in an office with fast Internet connection speeds and a few lighted ciggies.

Easy.

Walk back to the car in the rain, get drenched, ruin my shoes
and shiver all the way home in bad-weather traffic.

Love Needs Only One Sentence

Stumbled upon the saddest single-sentence love story ever.

"Even though it's been ten years and I'm visiting
a town 100 miles away from where she lives now,
I look at everyone passing by, hoping I'll see her."

Sigh.

I guess not being in love kinda sucks at times. Especially when those days come around (i.e. Christmas, Valentine's, your birthday, etc). Trust me. I know. I've been there. But then again... being in love and being in a relationship has its tough times, too. The ups and the downs (Don't kid yourself. You know they're there.) will always have you running around or playing tag or catch-up or whatever it is you guys always play.

But that's nothing compared to being in love
without being with the one you're in love with.

To me, this has gotta be the worst situation of the three to be in. I'd say that it's a punishment far worse than death. And I'd never wish that on anybody. For nobody deserves to be put through a lifetime of lovelessness. And yes, it is lovelessness. Why? Simply because having love to give but not the person you want to receive your love, is arguably more painful than finding yourself not being loved at all.

That being said, not being in love
doesn't quite look that bad right now, huh?

And to be honest, it isn't. (Not unless you're lying on your death bed with nobody to hold your hand as you take your last breath, it's not.) Singlehood has its rockin' moments. I know I had mine. It was a time when I really had the time (and the heart) to build a great many healthy relationships all around me, time to pursue my dreams, time to invest in friendships that were important to me and all the time in the world to spend on pampering myself.


Looking back, I'll say that life was good. It was! (Not that life isn't good right now, of course. Haha. It's just a different kind of good.) And it CAN be good for you singletons out there, too. =)

KL Skies

Last week, I complained about the heat. Somebody up there must have heard my rant cos two days later, Beautiful Weather came knockin'. Wheee! We had temperatures of 24ºC to 25ºC till the weekend came along. Nice. Problem is, I think that last week's weather mess-up kinda led to some sort of genetically mutated super-power Monday Blues today... cos it's been this way all day long.

I can't even see the top half of KLCC!

It seemed like some kind of fog set in. If not for the high rise buildings all around, I'd have thought I was at Bukit Tinggi or Genting. Too bad it's wet weather. I'd have much rather cool weather instead. Haha. I'm so full of complaints I'm surprised I haven't had lightning bolts fired at me. *grin*

I Won't Say It

'cos if you're one of those who's
always up for a good surprise,
I'll show it to ya.

Nyek nyek.

Midnight tonight. Be here.

F.O.S Sunway Pyramid's Got My Vote!

Was feelin' a little crummy sometime last week so...I decided that it was, once again, time for some much-needed retail therapy! When you need retail therapy but have no money, where do you go? F.O.S!

So, to F.O.S Sunway Pyramid I went.
And then I went a little overboard.

And how many pieces of clothing
was I supposedly only allowed to bring in?

The guy at the counter just passed Tag 5 to me
and whispered, "Shhh. Just go in," with a smile.

It's little things like these that brighten days. =)

p/s: If you must know, I didn't buy all lah. You think what? My father print money wan ah? Haiyo. Kaypo.
