A matter of principle

So, for the first time, my mother decided to be the one to do something as a matter of principle, even if we would loose economically.

That’s usually me. Oh, I do lots of such things, which annoys her to no end.

So it was quite a surprise when she yelled my name and called me down, and showed the bean sprout we got at Tesco just moments before that.

It was grossly overpriced.

Later, I found out, we were overcharged by RM2.40.

A lot, for bean sprouts anyway.

She insisted that we drove all the way there and get a refund.

I was reluctant as I was tired. We went around IKEA the whole day, only to discover that the stuff I wanted to get wouldn’t fit either cars we had; I had to call a cousin of mine for help.

Oh yes, we got the new car; a Toyota Vios.

And I’m hating the smell of the car. I never liked the smell of new cars anyway.

So it’ll be quite some time till I enter that car, if I can help it. Or if I do, I’ll make sure the windows are down.

So, my room is still bookrack-less, with my books everywhere.

Am reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer now. Slowly giving it a chance… I’m only on the 3rd chapter… Though I have to say, it is a great book to flip through. Haha. Of all things. And despite the thickness of it, it’s bearable to hold while you’re lying on your bed.

It might be even lighter than The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman; the last book I read. Which I strongly recommend for you to read. Of course, read Northern Light/ The Golden Compass first. And don’t even think of judging the book by the movie; I didn’t watch it, but from the trailer I could see a lot of things were changed. And from wiki, the change wasn’t for the better.

Still, I’m skeptical as to whether I would like the book. Hmmm.

We’ll see, we’ll see…

Dreams

I’ve been getting vivid dreams since I got back from England. Maybe not since then; I exaggerate. About… I’m not really sure, actually. However, it’s been happening quite often.

And I realize that I don’t know what is true and what is isn’t; seems like the two worlds are merging somewhat in my mind.

The main reason why is that so is because most of the time, I dream about people that do exist in my life. And the events are somewhat similar or that it is very possible that it has happened. However, our location makes it rather impossible for it to have happened.

And some of the events… the time frame… Yet it is also so possible.

And some of it, it’s as if that the dreams are trying to rewrite history; a retelling of what has happened.

No, not a retelling. More like, erasing an old memory and putting a new one.

And I keep dreaming of people in my past. Which is sooo annoying. Urgh!! Can’t they just remain there; in my past??? I find my past embarrassing and annoying.

God!! Those time when I actually had crushes. Man, that was a long time ago; the last time I had a crush was when I was 13, form 2 (my birthday being in December). Since then, poof, no more baby!!

Who would have thought; the time people hit puberty–when guys hit puberty–is when I became disinterested in them.

And that 13 year old me, is so not me.

Oh, whoever the school-going period was definitely not me. And I want to forget about my past. Why can’t I? Urgh…

Why are my dreams doing this to me?

It’s disquieting that I can’t be sure what is real and what was in my dream.

I think for the time being, I better not see anyone.

PS: My iTunes likes U2 and Christmas songs. Don’t know why it keep playing their songs. Hardly any other songs. Weird.

PPS: Food poisoning (damn KFC) and then whole night of burping and a day of fever. Blah.

PPPS: No eating cabbage ever again. Bleurgh.
