Back from Hometown

I had a great time back in Ipoh, which is something I never expected. For the first time in many months, I lay around watching videos without having to worry about running errands, updating ROMB, or visiting friends, etc. It was so good. Slept with 2 cats, nobody yelled at me, didin't fight with my boyfriend, and I had a good lunch with his family, got amusingly tipsy, and came back to KL refreshed. Haven't felt so sane and fresh in a long long time. When I'm like that, it's almost like I'm almost out of the woods.

Dad's in some financial squeeze this month. Had to help out. Hope it's not something permanent or I'll start to suspect he's up to something out there with his drinking and mahjong. It's not the first time. But yes, I still love him and I am SO getting him some nice shoes. The cloth ones he's been wearing to the race turf everyweek are in tatters. I love buying people stuff. It's like some fetish.

I think it's a good thing to be able to spend money for others and yourself. Hoarding it too much screws up your priorities. Sure I have grand delusions to be able to save enough to get a castle with servants who serve me hand and foot, but really, watching a good movie and making your loved ones happy beats owning a castle.

Talking about making loved ones happy. I know one guy who needs my loving. My bad for zoning out on him sometimes. I'm still wondering what I should get for him. Will need to scout the malls.

All's nice and peaceful at Ju-ville at the moment. Ju is getting back into groove!
