So I was contemplating whether to practice my violin or to work on the "About" page in my previous post. I did neither. Went out with Esther to the place we worship. Intended to make use of the 'free head charge' voucher but it's useless at that hour we were there so we decided to go for the student price which is only RM 9++. Instantly reminded me of Redbox. Stupid stupid Redbox. Do not ever trust the prices they display. The other time, we wanted the student price and it was written RM 8++. The girl later told us there's also a compulsary tidbit charge which is RM 9!!! Stupid RM 9 for a small bowl of lousy junk. Paying so much, don't even dream of getting Doritos or Lay's chips! The RM 9 tidbits are not even Twiesties or cheapo a bit, Super Ring. They're even cheaper than the type you get from pasar malam ok! And besides, it's not one bowl of tidbit PER room! It's a bowl per 2 people or something like that! I don't really know how it works but the other time when I was there with Esther and Wai Tuck, they gave us 2 freakin' bowls so meaning 2 x RM9!!! Stupid mofo money-sucking place. So anyway, at Greenbox, when they say RM 9++, they really mean it. And my voucher's still left unused yet...The Hidden Charges

A week more!
I officially ♥♥♥ Thursdays because it's the only day which I have absolutely nothing to attend to at all. Mondays I have violin class, Tuesday for this week I had work but after this, I'll ♥♥♥ Tuesdays too lol. Wednesday nights I have work, Fridays till Sundays' full day of work, work and work ughh.
My dad's been complaining that I've been bumming too much and having too much of free time and that I should at least find myself another part time job. What he doesn't understand is I purposely did not want to have too many days occupied with work so that I can use the time to practice. Otherwise, all I need to do is just request and I'll have a whole list of new students all waiting for me. Not bragging but violin teachers are really hard to find nowadays. Violinists are either really good that they venture more towards the performance line rather than education, or they're not good at all. Mediocre violin student like me can't choose to do much but just teach and improve myself. Well, it's not that I totally hate teaching anyway. I kinda enjoy it but I know very well teaching's not what I really really want to do.
Alright, time for lunch. What's next? Hrm. Should I practice or work on the 'About' page...

Finally! It took so much of my time just to get this layout all set as the way I wanted! The banner will not be permanent. The rest will pretty much stay unless one day I decide to experiment with the ever confusing codes again. I've been concentrating too much on this damn thing! I think now I kinda know how my short sight mysteriously worsened... I can no longer walk out without my specs or my contact lens anymore boohoo.
Anyway, I attended my first violin lesson today. And got lost while driving to my teacher's house -_- I think I can hear snickerings already.
It's not my fault that I'm hopeless with directions! I followed what she told me and probably there's some sorta miscommunication or something, the road didn't turn out to be as described and yeah. I was lost. In the middle of somewhere I didn't even know the name. I'm so good at it. In the end I managed to find the way there by asking a few people who were kind enough to show me the directions.
Took my graduation robe without any waiting or queueing at all, unexpectedly! I've heard from people saying usually students start queueing since early morning (like 6am) to avoid getting the leftover sizes (L, XL, XXL, XXXL, XXXXL wtf seriously, I saw this). A bunch of us couldn't be bothered. Some went at 10am, some 12. Me and Cat, after lunch. Got everything within 10 minutes. It's because earlier before we finished our final semester we've already filled out a form regarding our robe's sizes so basically everyone was sure to get what they wanted. It wasn't as 'pasar' as what we thought it would be lol.
Ok bedtime.
