To World Cup, or Not to World Cup?

It's been about a week since I've came back home. Almost instantly, the World Cup started. Imagine all the excitement and craze, while I stay at home trying to recover from jet lag, sleeping really early, and lazing around, while supposedly trying to look for a job and searching for new things to learn.

Since not many people are around, and thus I can deduce that there isn't enough 'labour supply' around. That's isn't funny, I know. Anyway, since nobody is around, I can't do much around in KL these days, not until my friends from the university comes back. Only then I'll be filled with things to do. Muahaha.. However, I've been stranded around my house, not doing much, but have been spending much time with my family instead, and some time with my good friend, who came back from UK the same time as I did.

Today have been an educational day. Well, other than not doing anything in the morning nor in the evening, most of the 'fortunate' events happened in the night. Yep, it's a Saturday night tonight. But don't worry, I didn't go clubbing or anything like that. If so, why could it be 'educational'? Anyway, since both my family members went out for their own events, I was left alone voluntarily, and so I decided to go to KLCC alone to get some books and to shop around by myself. I left home late, so I got there at about 8pm. First stop: Kinokuniya (the Japanese one in Isetan). I was there trying to look for a suitable Japanese Language book to self-study, but in the end, I had to get some assistance to find one. Ultimately, I had to get 3 items: one text book, one grammar and vocab book and a CD that goes with it. By the time I finally paid for, it was already 9 (don't ask me why, I have no clue how to answer that). So, due to lack of time, I walked to 2 convenience shops (and by that, I mean Watsons and Guardian) at quite a fast pace. By the time I finished, it was about 9.30pm.

I had so much trouble trying to decide whether or not to eat dinner there, or have it when I get back home (yes, I haven't had my dinner then). After much ado, I left and returned to my neighbourhood to have a bowl of prawn noodles.

Funny, I had lots more to do. If only I had the time and money... Hehe...
