Hole in the pocket

These two days spent about $700+ on Final Fantasy products. Now my heart felt a bit aching lol...The most expensive thing is the Final Fantasy 3 Crystal Edition NDS lite console that comes with the jap version of Final Fantasy 3 game that costs $499!!! Accordingly to the seller there are only 30000 sets worldwide and each comes with a serial number. No choice leh as I am a FF fan. I won't be using the lite console to play games as I can't bear to use such an exclusive set to play lol... Instead I will be using my old NDS console to play any games. So I can imagine eating grass for the coming month... Till now I dare not check my bank account lol...

Visit to The Man Fut Tong Nursing Home

Today went to The Man Fut Tong Nursing Home with my English Dharma Class classmates. During the tour around the home I felt sad and shocked. Sad for those Cat. 3 amd Cat. 4 patients whom are those wheel-chair bounded and bed-ridden patients whereby their family just cast them to this home and let them die there. Shock to see so many old folks being left there at the home. It is not easy to manage such a big home. I felt so pitiful to those patients that are being fed thru drip to their nose. Can you imagine your nose is stuck with liquid but there is nothing you can do as this is the only method to survive *sob*. After that some of my classmates perform to those wheel-chair bound patients and some of them are very happy to see us. I really hope that those people that want to cast their ageing parents to those homes please imagine how you feel when your own kids do that to yourself!!!!

Happenings @ the Library Book Fair 2006

Went to expo this afternoon with TYM for the book fair and there is only one word to describe it...SCARY!!!So many people are searching for the books which are on sale for $2 or $1 per copy and a stack of magazines for $5. Reasons for saying it a mad house and scary ;

saw an old uncle whose market trolley are filled with bags of books filled to the brim

books are flying all over the place

saw people are stacking books that are so tall as mountains and sitting aside to read them or filtering them out

people following those staff that is pushing new books to replenish the stock

saw a maid hugging travel guides of many countries(I think she is under the command of her owners)

There is one situation that make me amused at those people behaviour towards sale:

I was holding to a stack of magazines and thinking should I buy or not and place it back to the tray but within a spilt seconds when I want to buy them, THE WHOLE ENTIRE STACK IS GONE infront of me...I almost fainted lol...Anyway I also got a great deal. I bought 2 stacks of Time magazines and 4 english books.

So today is a fun and amusing day to spent @ the expo whahaha...
