Did anyone realise I cannot count?!

I just realise my maths fail! I had $4.15 cents with me, and I needed to pay $5.35 cents. So that’s $1.20.

But why did I keep thinking I had $3.15 on me? So silly.

Too busy/too tired to blog.

Have to wake up early on weekend is so NOT fun, but for the dough, especially in such times, is something I shouldn’t be complaining.

Now my blog debt includes:

1) Peining’s wedding

2) Hanoi trip

3) Minibean’s post

4) My PMS cravings (I actually made a list when I was hungry and sulky!)

I was hungry yesterday and after a long, long day, and went to one of the places that used to serve my PMS cravings. Alas, they changed chef. Boohoo. I had foie gras for starters but had to make do with a main course that was substandard.

I got home and finished my bacon bak gwa, and dug the fridge for SINS chocolate while watching Nanny, and finally got to sleep after that. I am suspecting I am about to get bacon off my body some time soon.

It was a long, long day. I was almost wondering if I could pull through.

Oh oh! If you love books as much as, or more than I do, Popular is having a mini roadshow at SIM from today onwards till next Friday (Sunday closed).

All the brand new bestseller titles are going at $5 ONLY!

There are kiddy books that are amazingly cute and cost the same.

There are many titles that I saw that are really new, like The White Tiger, and the classics like Jane Austens, and popular authors like Dan Brown, Haruki Murakami, Jeffrey Archer, John Grisham, Jodi Picoult, Nora Roberts and many more, and even the bigass, large-sized books are going at $5 only!

I fisted my chest when I saw my Catch 22 and Piano Teacher, and at least 10 books that I had bought at retail price in the past couple of years. Heartpain man!

I lugged back 8 books cos that’s all I could afford to pay cash for yesterday, and that was only after waiting for them to unpack half of what are gonna be displayed.

It was an evening of easy conversation, surprisingly.

I spoke of my friends, and the traits of them I so adore, but somehow.. how I often grow fearful.

Fear is something I have to let go.

I have till year end to start building on my confidence. Sometimes it is strange, you think you can do it, yet when serious self-doubt seeps in, you just feel you want to give up and don’t want to pull through anymore.

Oh. And I told Claris it is strange how we knew each other for almost 7 years, but we only met briefly at a trade show I worked at, and spoke on the phone less than 5 times, and I believe all 5 times were during some kind of crisis in our lives.

Strange ah.

Okay, work time. Byebye.
