Say Congratulations to Me!!
23 January 2008
You've got to say congratulations to me. You simply have to.
You've got to congratulate me for FOUR things :
1. I GOT THE GOSSIP GIRL PREQUEL!!!
The front cover is so perfectly gorgeous, don't you think??
And that's not all.
Even the BACK cover of the book is so gorgeous.
Well, err, that's because I bought the hard cover version of the book. The soft cover version doesn't have a back cover, and the front cover is not shiny. In other words, it's a whole lot uglier.
Anyway, this is my first guilty splurge of 2008. I thought most guilty splurges are for those gorgeous things we girls love.
Actually it's not so terribly expensive, and not exactly a very guilty splurge because I'm now so totally in love with the book and is handling it with care, which is seldom for me as I never take care of them carefully. I'd throw them around when I'm angry. I'd throw them around when I'm not angry. I'd stepped on them sometimes. Not on purpose, but not accidentally either, because I know they were there, I just couldn't be bothered to avoid it and land my feet one centimeter away from the book. And of course that doesn't count as doing it on purpose, I never had the intention to step on my book purposely. Why should I??
He he.
But, really, the book IS terribly expensive compared to the soft cover version.
BUT!!
The hard cover version has :
1.) A really nice and shiny front AND back cover.
2.) A ... hard cover. Probably can last for a longer time.
3.) Better paper quality, I guess.
4.) Err, that's about all??
Oh, oh, WAIT!! There's another one :
There's this pretty gold-and-white-striped pages at the first and last pages of the book. Isn't it pretty??
So, the hard cover version compared to the soft cover version has about, err, RM30 of price difference. The soft cover one is RM39.90. Which is the same price as a normal Gossip Girl book. The hard cover version is ....
... RM68.90
Okay. Stop trying to make me even more guiltier.
BUT!!!!!!
I think it's worth it. The book can last for a longer time, which is a good thing, because I'm probably going to read the book for lots of times, and looking at the gorgeous covers is enough to make me smile and feel like the happiest girl alive. For the time being anyway.
Let's do some mathematics.
The hard cover. ----- RM10
The shiny front cover. ----- RM5
The shiny back cover. ----- RM8
The gold and white striped pages. ----- RM4
Which sums up to ... RM27.
And the rest of the money can be a token of gratitude to the author for writing books that are so nice to read and make me so happy. The day I bought my first Gossip Girl book is the start of my happiness.
Okay, that might be slightly exaggerated.
But, thank God for letting me decide to buy my first Gossip Girl book. Honestly, I've never thought of buying it before. I always take a glance at it every time I visit the book shop, probably because of the cool covers which so many books are trying to copy right now (I think they ARE trying to). One day, because I couldn't find the book I want, I just snatched up the fourth Gossip Girl book : Because I'm Worth It, and take a look at the comments and synopsis, and decided to buy it.
Then I'm addicted.
He he.
Okay, now, SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO ME!!
For spending an extra RM30 just for the book covers, and for finally getting the book I've been looking for a thousand years ago.
I AM SO HAPPY!!!!
See, I couldn't even resist taking photos with the gorgeous to-die-for covers of the book even when my hair sucked like hell and I promised myself never to take a single photo until I finally got my hair cut.
I AM IN LOVE!!! ♥
Err, besides mushrooms, that is.

2. I TOOK THE NICEST INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL PHOTO EVER IN MY WHOLE LIFE.
Yeah, I did.
Fucking WICKED photo I took. You'd drool over them because I look so damn pretty.
YEAH, RIGHT.
Damn. I've been like, looking forward to, oh, finally, a nice photo after all these sucky photos I've took years before.
And I guess I got my wish. Hah.
Yesterday when I was at school, I found out that yesterday was the last day of the photo-taking. What the FUCK?? I thought they said it's until the end of the month?? Oh yay. I haven't even got my hair cut.
Tried combing my fringe until it doesn't cover at least half of my eye. Sadly, I failed.
I was so desperate.
Some stranger, I think it's one of my primary school teacher's daughter, helped me arrange my hair. I'm grateful, really I am, but I have to admit that my hair in the photo sucked like hell. It's not her fault, I know, my hair just doesn't look nice when it's arranged like that. I'm just not used to it. I mean, WHAT?? I don't want to get used to it. My hair was like ...
*shakes head*
I don't think words can describe it, except for the words : PLAIN UGLY.
Fucking hair. Fucking school. I don't blame it on the photographer because he is really nice, and it was the school who set the date line for this fucking photo-taking thing. In the past two years we always took our photos during February and I don't know what the fucking rush is this year.
Actually if I got the chance to retake the photos, like, if I'm not pleased with the photos, then I'd plead with the photographer and tell him that I want to retake, then I wouldn't be quite as miserable.
As luck would have it, it was yesterday that the photographer's camera is OUT OF BATTERY.
Fuck it.
Noooooo. What sucks worst than having ugly school photos?? My life is officially over.
=(
But no, on second thought, I'll stare at the Gossip Girl prequel covers. The beauty of the covers will make me feel happier.

3. WE GOT A NEW DOG!!!
Yes, we did, almost one year after Barky came, and months after Barky's unfortunate death.
Both the dogs came from the same family, I think. Same old wrinkles, same old fatness, same old stupid face. Ha ha. Actually Barky doesn't look stupid, but I have to say this new dog does.
Hello!!
=)
Want to see how it's face looks like?? I'll show you, no matter what you say. I'll show you how stupid he looks.

HELLO AGAIN!!!
Err, actually he doesn't have blue eyes, but I think blue eyes would look nicer with how strawberry-blond his fur looks like in this photo. He's actually brown and brown eyed, but, I don't care, I prefer blue eyes and if the dog is not a Golden Retriever with blond fur, strawberry blond fur will just have to make do.
And I know he doesn't look stupid here, thanks to the flash. I'll show you a really stupid photo of him soon!!
And I'd like to thank him for waking us all up at 4 in the morning for nothing. He kept whining, howling, yowling, screaming, shouting, yelling, shrieking, squealing, snorting, WHATEVER, until my mum has to go down and calm him down for a bit. Said that he's tired of being in a cage, and wants to come out. But what can we do?? Let him loose around the house for the whole night by himself, and waking up to step on his poop and pee first thing in the morning??
Eew. Not to mention dead corpses of lizards, cockroaches and those kind of things dogs love to kill.
Anyway, this dog, he's really very active for such a young dog!! He can already play with Jane's adult female beagle, Lassie. (The female word is just an extra. Don't think our puppy knows what a female means to a male yet.) But I guess Lassie is really gentle and not that aggressive like Jane's two other male dogs. Our puppy even chased Lassie around, and attempted to pounce on Lassie. Err, without any intentions of ... you know.
Oops. Getting carried away. He's still a puppy!!
Our old dog Barky just kept sleeping all the time and only waking up occasionally to whine, howl, yowl, scream, shout, yell, shriek, squeal, and snort. Even when there's Lassie to play with at Jane's house.
He he.
I think it's become a tradition for every new puppy to visit Jane's house.

4. I GOT A PRESENT!!
Erm, not exactly a real present but still a present nevertheless, from my mum, because she simply doesn't use that thing. Neither do I (YET), to be honest, but I don't mind, because it's pretty.
It's shiny, that's why I love it. I can even see my own reflection. Those who know me well should know that I love things that reflect, and always look at my own reflection in people's car windows. Because the toilets are too smelly to keep going in and glancing at my reflection in vain, and we aren't allowed to bring mirrors to school because they're scared we'd ruin the school grounds with pieces of mirrors, and accidentally killed our teachers with the mirror.
Oops.
Anyway, guess what the thing in the picture is!!
Ooh. Shiny.
*_*
There's a mirror, and that's why I love it even more.
Of course you already know what it is, but if you don't, then ... kill yourself. Preferably with a brick.

My seventh aunt is coming over soon with her new baby!! I think later on our house will be a ... um, I don't know. Baby's wails and puppy's howls aren't exactly a good combination, don't you think??
