what a treat!

FINALLY...my off day is here! TODAY! *happy*

after working EIGHT days straight since my last off day i finally get to take a break.
damn glad it's here... i know that work is like that, but sometimes we do need to a break too. we're only human after all.

woke up early (despite being an off day i am not the type who likes to sleep in. DUNNO WHY.) to do some laundry, have an early breakfast, and now currently (also wasting time?) in an Internet cafe using the Net. it's not that i like to frequent this Internet cafes and all, but since i have got no Internet connection at home i guess i have no other options...

right now i kinda am transfixed on this song by Pitbull, Flo-Rida, and a bunch of other fellows called 'Boom, Shake, Drop'. i don't usually like to listen to such music, but this one is catchy. it uses a part of 'Satisfaction' by Benny Benassi, which makes it even nicer. great song...

after this i have no idea what i want to do. haven't really planned anything special to do today. wanted to go take a bus down to Komtar to get a friend something but i guess i am not in a rush to buy it. can go next week. i want to stay around my area here for today. maybe i will buy the gift next week during my next off day...

last Monday i went down town and walked into this quaint second-hand items shop. browsed through the stuff sold there. wasn't impressed with the limited choices, but hey, it's just a second-hand shop; what could be exciting there right? anyway i looked through their books rack, and found 'Twenties Girl' by Sophie Kinsella (most famously recognized for 'Confessions Of A Shopaholic')! finally...something worth buying. and only going for RM8! i didn't have to think twice! i duly paid for it and went home a happy man. i know the book has been out for many years already, but i read these kinds of novels sporadically so technically speaking i am a 'part-time' reader, so it doesn't have to be the latest book that i must read. as long as 1)i haven't read it before and 2)the price is right then i will buy it. after all, it did bring back memories of 2009, when a former classmate and dear friend Alicia used to love reading Kinsella's books and urged me to read some too. i first read 'Confessions Of A Shopaholic' along with other titles by the same author, and from there onwards i was hooked! great books... so glad for life's little mercies... thanks be to God for bringing these kind of people into my life. really made a big difference in my life...

righty-o then... till next time! XOXO
