Picture above is of books I recently got. Was surprised to find out how expensive the books are. Is it inflation? The books are like over 20 SGD a pop and I contemplated if I should take all three. In the end I did because I rarely step foot in Kinokuniya anymore which is like the only book store left in Singapore that carries quite an extensive catalogue? I usually order them online and when I had to pay 30 cents for the plastic bag, I thought buying online gave you that benefit, they pack it with bubble wrap and plastic and you don't have to pay extra for all that. I have become that calculative, so much so that I thought with the prices the book in, it's more value for money to get thicker book. Give me more stories with the money I'm paying please. Aah, the ballad of poor people.
I'm not poor though. A lot of people would argue I am not poor at all. I could survive so that's like luckier than most. In Kino, I also happened to chance upon a book regarding the 2024 prediction for all the Chinese zodiacs. The dogs should be doing well this year, but I'm not feeling it. If anything, mentally I've been spinning further down, it's been bad. Physically, something bad happened last week, so I'm taking the meds and I just hope it could be resolved :( I wonder what the year's been like to my fellow dog cousin. I know my good friend, Dewi, had some nightmares weeks ago. It's so random on how she told me that I was like is her account hacked and I'm talking to some scammer? Anyways, I got to thinking - when Daniel survived in the lion's den, is it really good luck or blessing? Cause I may argue, the good luck or blessing would be not being in the lion's den in the first place! Yeah, don't listen to me, I am in a very woe me, self-centered state right now. Even if I survive the lion's den, I will still be pissed as hell for being in one.
It's been another negative rambling, yes? So maybe let me stop at one good recommendation that I can give you. I've been watching Derry Girls and I love it a lot. Finding myself snorting laughing at some parts and using the Irish inflection in my head. Too bad they do not have a lot of seasons. If only they could go on. I still haven't started on Pachinko season 2. Will do so soon. Another thing I am looking forward to is The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2, The Book of Carol, because Carol and Daryl reunited, you just have to watch that right.
