Mengalih Fokus

Got to the bank to pay my first payment on the car yesterday. It felt exciting somewhat, to mark your steps into adulthood, and into the world of bills, bills, bills and more bills. Never thought it would come this soon.

Had read about teen getting raped after daring to sneak out to go clubbing with people they met online, and then made a police report. The rapist gets caught, but the teens go scott-free? No, justice is still done - the teens are not virgins anymore.

After thinking about it, I think we're going to take a flight out for the coming Raya holidays. And hearing about the Raya bonus, it is a very good divergence. Mother needs a divergence too. Perhaps a flight to Sabah to visit my aunt and uncle there? Perhaps.

Now I have to admit, I miss my old work at the Kinokuniya bookstore. Most of all actually, is the people I work with. They are a bloody cool bunch. The job itself? Yeah, it actually is much more better than working in this stuffy office.

And now more divergence, what with getting the once-broken PSP back in my hands, and tomorrow to take the car for a spin in Kuala Lumpur to settle more bills and finally get the book I was looking for in my hands. "Learn Latin". How curious, right?

Apa Bawa, Ogos?

Been a month since I started my new job. Pretty slow things are going here. Or I am not doing enough. Must find work. And set priorities.

Ramadhan arrived. He wasn't thrilled enough to see me. In fact, he kinda forgot about me, took some days before he finally sinks in. Yes, the fact that Ramadhan had arrived didn't dawn to me until the few days it came.

I'm saving now, I'm thinking of going out of the country for a holiday. But I haven't paid my study loan for the last two months... I'll save my money to pay for the study loans.

Thinking of taking up French. Bought a quick French study guide, taking classes would cost me a bit, and I have lots of commitments now. Things to pay for actually. It's pretty bad.

And I got myself a car. Well, actually dad helped. A lot. Turns out he bought a really nice car, which will bite quite a portion from my budget. In fact, it leaves me with less to spend for myself. But then again, I spend really little, like a scrooge.

I am mending my relationships with my brother. I do not want animosity to come between us. He is he and I am I, but that doesn't mean we can't get together. I hope we can get along just fine.

Now I'm reading a few historical fictions to past the time. In fact, I believe I've found what interest me most is history. I'm planning to buy historical fiction novels and history books to fill up my shelf, once I get my salary this month. I hope there'll be some left.
