Good ol' MPS

My last proper post here on this blog... =/

So I went back to the primary school with Rohini. And we wandered over the school compound, reminiscing about the old days, about where everything used to be, and pointing out the changes that had been made. Some were for the better, others, I wished they'd had just let alone. I took almost 100 pictures of the school alone. That's amazing. o.O Lulz. Some of the teachers were still there, namely En. Zuki and En. Rizal. Or rather, they were the ones we actually talked to. Their memory was a little fuzzy, which is understandable since it's been years and they've taught hundreds of students since our year, whereas we had a handful of teachers.

I've uploaded the whole album on FB, but I won't bother you with much - will just show some of my favourites in sepia.



 




The only downside to this whole visiting the old school is that now a lot of ex-MPS'ians want to add me on FB and I'm all, "But I don't talk to these people at all! o.o" =/

But I want a reunion? -.-

Difficult, difficult decisions.


And, I most prolly won't go to Singapore this Sunday. Not when my sister has just left. If anything, I might go on Thursday or Friday or a little bit later. Part of me is reluctant to leave my mother alone so soon after my sister's departure. I know she won't be okay, despite her insistence that she will be. So. We'll see.

Just blurting out whatever's on my mind right now

In light of the unfortunate situation with B&N, I sent an e-mail to The Book Depository, commending them on their excellent service, and they replied promptly with a thank you note, with my name on it, too! *beams happily* ^.^

Been busy with manga for the past two days. Now, it's not that I enjoy reading manga, it's just this particular anime caught my eye - Kaichou wa Maid Sama! on Astro and after watching one episode, I downloaded the whole series. It's fairly light-hearted, the typical girly romance anime that helps me relax. Heh. I've not watched many in my lifetime but those that caught my attention, I enjoy them thoroughly. ^.^ The only non-girly animes I've actually watched were Slam Dunk and FMA. Haha... My sister doesn't watch them, but I think she would like Maid Sama. *shrugs* The manga is still ongoing, dunno if there are talks about a second season for the anime, but I hope they will come out with one. :P

Hmmm... My mom had a talk with a friend of hers whose daughter is also in civil service and shed some light on why my letter is taking so long. Apparently they go by alphabetical order and my last name begins with a T. I started thinking about all the people who haven't gotten their letters yet and waddya know? Their last names all begin with letters towards the end of the alphabet. -.- Go figure.

My sister will be leaving for UK soon. I still feel like this is a dream, that it can't be happening. LOL. She's never left home for so long a period before and I just can't help but worry. =/ I know for a fact that UK is much better than Ukraine, they have better living conditions, better living standards, so she should be able to do all right there. Yet, I still worry loads. I guess that's what a big sister is supposed to do, huh? Heh.

And my brother will be going off to Singapore too. Possibly on Sunday, the day after my sister leaves. I don't know, I might follow him there for a couple of days. But now that I think about it, my mom will be alone. Nevertheless, if I don't visit my uncle now, I won't have the chance to when work begins. I'm so torn. Gah. >.<

Reuby's also started work. The text messages have not diminished - mainly because he usually sends one or two every day then we talk on Y!M whenever we see each other online. He was still able to talk yesterday and the day before, but today will be a real day for him, indicating how the rest of his days in civil service will be like. I really hope he'll be okay - he always has to have lots of sleep, so the lack thereof might make him a little grumpy. I dunno. Just hope he'll be able to pull through this first rotation. He's in Orthopaedics, which supposedly is the easiest of all. I'm dreading O&G. >.<

Btw, I went back to MPS again on Monday. I was supposed to put up pics and talk about it, but I guess I can do it later. Just too lazy to deal with the pictures now, even though I've put them up on FB. LOL.

Ban on B&N

I hesitated when buying The Ultimate Collection from Barnes & Noble. Why? I figured that I hadn't started work yet and I don't want to spend such a huge amount on books, especially from a vendor I've never dealt with before. Like what happens if a book got lost in transit, etc.? I mean, $122.35 is a lot of money and what if they get lost? x.x

I sent them an e-mail that very day, enquiring their plan of action SHOULD a package get lost (just in case I don't receive it) and I finally got a reply, which came two days after the promotion had ended. *phail*

And I didn't even get a straight answer!! *double phail*

Their service is so unlike The Book Depository, where they actually address you by name, answer the question succinctly and straight to the point. No demand for an order number (which I do not have, because, duh, I don't want to buy FIRST then ask later!), nothing. Just a "yes, we will refund or resend, depending on your request" (not those exact words, but that is what they do).

BAH. I'm not buying anything from B&N anymore. GOODBYE.

To whom it may concern.

If you don't have the guts to remove me from your friend's list, but block my viewing of your wall, trust me, WHEN I find you, I'll help you to delete myself.
