My finals start on Monday. I am so afraid I'm going to fail a few papers... It is annoying how my sister can spend hundreds of dollars on clothes and shoes and such, but hardly ever puts in gas for the car. What's even more annoying is that she uses the car a whole lot more than I do, and 9/10 times I use the car after her I'll have to suffer the consequences of her tight wallet. So how many of you have checked out this Friendster thing? Half of Malaysia seems to be in on it, and it seems that for us, it's become a place for sticking with who you know instead of making new friends. (This is very typical Malaysian behaviour.) Of course, I'm not too interested in making new friends myself, largely because I view the whole 'making friends' idea as suspect: You want to make friends in hopes of making a looooove connection. Maybe I'm wrong and that isn't the case, but in all, I'm pretty skeptical about the whole thing. I turn 20 in 14 days! Here's my birthday wishlist (in no particular order): 1) Cable connection 2) A newly-decorated room 3) Either a digital camera or a scanner (I don't need both) 4) A holiday - any kind, even one night in a hotel room in town will do 5) Money I'll probably end up getting stuff on the list by myself anyway because I can't think of anyone who'd want to spend so much money on me. Except dad...and he'd probably just give me item no.5, which brings me back to getting those things for myself. I know some people who don't care about getting presents for their birthday, but being the typical selfish girl I am, presents are important to me. I can't quite explain why. I think it's because if I got something as a present, it'd mean I didn't have to pay for it myself. Is that warped or what? Still, I don't really understand the concept of getting presents for your birthday...Is it like a reward for having lived another year? Oh well anyway...Must get back to the books now.
