My wireless connection has been going haywire these few days, so I retreat to the world of The Sims 2!! But I guess even now when it's fine I still want to Sim some more. It's addictive.
Yesterday was BORING. I should be enjoying myself when I finally have time off drama practices. Yet I found myself at this stupid bookstore near Raffles Hotel, selling all sorts of Chinese books importd from China. I have nothing against Chinese books and Chinese bookstores but spending the entire day at one spot was just not my cup of tea. The reason why I was there the entire afternoon was because my mum was trying to spend $32 worth of vouchers before they expire next week. In the end, after spending all that the cashier gave us $6 worth of vouchers because there was a promotion going on, for every $10 you get $2 worth of vouchers. So in the end I had to look for MORE books.
I WANTED HBP. Turns out that place only has the Chinese version, and I don't trust the Chinese version anymore because their translation is just terrible. Nothing wrong with the storyline but it was full of grammatical errors. Yes, I'm being a grammar bitch here.
IT WAS MY CHANCE TO SHOP FOR A PROPER PENCIL CASE. Turns out that place sells only books and nothing else. And me, being too kind and scared of my parents, decided not to voice out my opinions and look what I've done to myself. Unhappy and unfulfiled.
I wanted so badly to tell my parents to go somewhere else but they were so absorbed that I didn't dare to. I could have gotten a few more clothes, a strategy guide, a pencil case and Half-Blood Prince but I guess I love my parents too much.
In the end I was the only one to walk away with two new books. Jimmy's "Mr Wing" and a book on Chinses culture.
Then, we had to go home for dinner when I didn't feel like it. But too bad, the maid had cooked dinner.
See, people, that's what you get when you don't voice out your opinions. You get endless pains.
