Books, Materialism, And Envy/Hatred

about books...
I've been having pretty long breaks between my job at the cheque clearing company the past few days, so I head down to MPH in CS. I like the MPH there, it's pretty quiet, nicely lit, and its rather comfy. I prefer it much more than the overcrowded Popular. Hoping to get myself a MPH Reader's Card soon, when the $$$ arrives.

I was browsing through the books there, and I found a familiar title among the rummages of other books.

LET'S TALK ABOUT KELVIN.

I saw this book in the hall, on SIL's bag on the shoe cabinet a few weeks back. The one she borrowed was kinda rundown, so I presumed it would be a hard to find book. Yet I found it there in MPH, new with the "Orange Prize Winner" print on its face.

I've been reading it, and so far reached page 25. Its nice, except for the vocab which is too wide(:P), and the rather TOO descriptive way of writing. But hey, a change once in awhile is good. So I've addicted to that book. I feel bad reading it there without buying, but hey, when the $$$ comes, I'll consider the buying hahaha...

At home, I'm stuck reading a Hitler book. I bought it "just because". It seems alright, for now. Hope it doesn't have an atrociously stupid ending like the last book I held. Because I bought them both from the same place, the MV Doulus(that ship sailing across continents selling books). And anyways, I didn't pay for it. My sis did. So I can't say I bought it. But finish it I must, or I'll feel bad...

about materialism...
I'm dying to get a new hp! Cannot tahan!!! I know I'll have to wait a few months for collective cash to be sufficent for my ideal hp, but I can't tahan! You want buy me new one?

I was contemplating getting an OK hp, and an i-Pod, but its gonna waste loadz of money I guess. So I think I've decided on a superfly hp instead.

I like motorola a lot, its battery lasts longer compared to other brands, but their cameras slack big time! Its either 1.3MP or a 30 sec video recorder!

WHO THE HELL WANTS 30secs OF VIDEO???

Rokr E2 is good, but the camera!!! Haizzz...

I was looking out at N73 and N75, 3.2MP and 5.0MP respectively. Super nice. But the price is exorbitant and the battery so useless! Plus, I don't like the bulkiness of nokia...

I've got few months more before I decide, because certainly one month's not enough to save up, hopefully Rokr E6 comes out soon, although I had the touch screen...

about envy/hatred...
