Splurge on at least 10 items at one go before the year ends [without feeling guilty]!!

(1) one knitting/crochet/beading book worth at least RM50

(2) one book on baking that is > RM30

(3) one novel (not in the romance genre and not a second hand book)

(4) a new bag (oversize) >RM60

can't think of anymore at the moment.... but the list WILL get longer!

Assignment-ing!

It looks nicer when you see it at my piano rather than in the photo though... will try to take another picture.

I played the piano today.... and after 13 years of piano lessons.... I have slacked a lot due to my commitment to being in college and uni without a piano and it totally showed in my playing. Finger muscles no longer there.... I don't even have the light touch that I used to have and my control is wavering!!! Oh dear!!! It's depressing!!! I'm still thankful that my side reading skills still exist... 13 years of piano lessons.... and just 2 years of slacking and this is what happens?!? Haih... I'm depressed despite having food.

The revival of a blog that has been in hibernation mode for two weeks…

The bookshop is possibly the only place in a shopping complex that will make me feel really helpless. That sort of feeling does not exist when I step into a boutique or a makan place – cafe. But a bookshop!!! Haih…

My ultimate favourite bookshop has to be the MPH bookstore in Mid Valley which I haven’t gone for years until yesterday. And stepping in MPH feels like I’m in a place just made for me… minus all the price tags.

Which part of it is torture, you may ask??? Well… everything!! I went to the historical fiction centre and I saw sooooo many books that I wanted to read like ‘The Last Concubine’.

In the classics section… oh my dear… They had soooooo many Jane Austen-ny books. There was a book ‘Mr Darcy Presents His Wife’!! Doesn’t anyone know my love affair with Mr Darcy and Lizzie Bennet? It’s my favourite ‘classic’ couple right before Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe. I want that book!!! It cost RM67 =(. (Ps… calling for anyone that has a powerful enough e-book engine…)

I walked to the music books section. Sigh… The books were freaking expensive and sigh… Forget about it!! Then, I saw an entire section on cookbooks, baking in particular… sigh… TORTURE!!

Then to the books on handicraft, beading, knitting, crochet and cross-stitching! One book cost a minimum of RM65! How will anyone be able to afford those books??? And I’m itching violently to get one book on knitting!

I walked out of MPH buying nuts. One day… I shall drive up to Mid Valley and spend an entire day in MPH reading the books!!

I wonder, is my definition of expensive too old-fashioned? Should I view expensive as something above RM60 instead of RM30? There seems to be too many things that are RM60 and above. But I just can’t seem to bring myself to buy things at that price. Oh well… I just have to resign to the fact that I, REBECCA NG, HAVE VERY EXPENSIVE HOBBIES with a very tiny winy budget=)!!
