:: My Summer Love ::
I have an urge to write, so here I am!
I am leaving on a jetplane in a few more hours. One month ago, I was extremely excited to be back but today, I just really want to be calm and be able to enjoy this journey. I definitely would like to meet everyone if I could possibly do that but I would like to have a few days on my own too.
In the past two years, my life in Australia has been rather a mystery or some sort to some people, but to me, it’s a brand new phase that I’ve enjoyed be it the bitter winter that never seem to have an end to it or the sweet summer that ends so soon as if it never came. As much as I dislike relying on the internet as the only tool of communication, with friends all around the globe, it’s probably one of the best tool. or at least, one that’s ever reachable and keeps you a certain distance away that (to me) has always been rather comfortable.
I guess I was rather uncomfortable disclosing too much online but for the sake of keeping in touch, and because I really don’t want to lose contact to people who have been a big part of my life, if you’re interested, you can always find my updates here.
Today, I splurged. On something I’ve always love and particularly love it this summer! Lately I have been spending a lot of time doing this every other day. That would be one of the reasons of my travel to the city, every single day.
It pains me spending so much on this but I can be pretty sure I wont get this one in Malaysia. I’ve been extremely patient trying to resist myself for about a month, but this very day, TODAY, exactly less than 6 hours before my flight, I made a purchase! Probably the most irresistible one ever, I spent AUD25 on this. It’s not like I am earning money, which makes things worse! The truth is, for a moment I got so so so overexcited smiling like a clown when I saw them misprinting the price of this book, which cost me a few bucks cheaper! It’s like girls seeing RED BANNERS with the word SALES hanging high in their favourite shops! I have really high hopes to bring lots of this back to Aus in a month’s time, so I really hope I would have the luggage allowance, and the space to fit them.
I know that this summer would be one of the most memorable one. Spending most of my time on this favourite activity of mine which I doubt I would ever do that back in Malaysia. Simply because I won’t wanna waste my time in Malaysia reading in Borders but I rather spend this time enjoying some engaging interaction with some friends whom I have not been seeing.
I am still searching high and low for the cheapest deal that I could get on these precious treasure of mine. I would be extremely extremely grateful if anyone could let me know Borders/Kinokuniya/MPH/ special discounts on books. I was never into Fiction but starting to read some books authored by this Japanese guy. =) I felt so in love… just by reading… Not to mention the book I got today, is another one I couldn’t let go. I actually read 15 chapters of it before buying it ok. It’s really a good book but I shall only reveal it after I finished reading.
I don’t know why I am writing such an entry but due to my excitement upon getting the new book and the-usual-gelabah-me over my luggages this time, I would absolutely love to hear some good news over some book vouchers or anything like that from anyone who happened to stumble upon reading this entry!
Happy Chinese New Year!
PS: Let me know if you wanna catch up with me over coffee (it has to be San Fransisco if it’s coffee, no mamak style!), I’ll be reachable with the same mobile or if not, emails/msn would be good!
