My Future: Boring??

Several days ago, I saw a hoodie signed by all 4 members of Tokio Hotel -- Bill and Tom Kaulitz, Georg Listing, and Gustav Schafer -- up on eBay, and I really wanted it. I got very excited over it and called my mom to ask if I could have it or not. The price at the time was USD$150 or 160. Multiply it by 3.2 or 3 to get the price in Malaysian Ringgit. About RM500 then.

Note: In the conversation below, when I or my mom says "dollars", we actually mean "RM" and not USD$.

Mom: How much is the jacket?
Me: 500 dollars.
Mom: What?
Me: Err... 600 dollars! *Decides to include a CD and a French magazine with 12 TH posters in it, also from eBay*
Mom: 300 dollars?!
Me: No! 500. *Decides not to include the CD and magazine*
Mom: Are you crazy? CANNOT!
Me: Remember that time in Hong Kong when you wanted to buy me shoes that cost like 3,000 (either RM or Hong Kong money)? It was black suede but Daddy didn't let? You can make up for it by buying me the jacket!
Mom: Go home only discuss!
Me: What time are you coming back?
Mom: About 10 [PM].
Me: Well, you better come back fast 'cause I have 16 hours left ['til the auction ends].

In the end... I didn't get it because I decided that it was too expensive anyway, and I had too little time to really think about it, so ya. I checked it again the next morning. It got sold for USD$272, more than RM800. O_O WOW. Lolz.

Yesterday or 2 days ago, I saw another hoodie from the same person (but it was a different hoodie). So I told my parents again, and they started talking in the restaurant we went to yesterday -- Supertanker -- while I listened to music and talked with my friend Aurelia who was also there. They said I can get it as an early birthday present, but the price has to be RM800 and below. Fair enough. If it exceeds that limit, I can pay the rest myself. Or I might not even get it at all. I don't know.

As for that French magazine with like a dozen TH posters in it, I bought it. With permission, of course, from my dad. He came down with me to the study room in case I didn't know what to do. But when I clicked "Pay Now", we had a problem. I had to fill in my telephone number, but they kept saying that it was in the wrong format! So I guess I won't be paying it right now. I'll have to ask YuWen's dad tomorrow in case he knows.

And if you're reading this right now, and you know what to do, and you're from Malaysia, don't keep it to yourself. Please tell me how to fill in the telephone number thingy when I'm from here (Malaysia).

Right. Now that we're done with that, I'll give you a quick summary of my day in school today. I was, as usual, 30 minutes late for P.E., and they were just divided into groups and practicing Frisbee-throwing and -catching, so I joined Saskia, Andrew, and Meera. Lydia joined later, but at first she was just watching. Later James joined too. Then it became only me, Andrew, Saskia, Meera, and James, so I was like, "Hey, let's play 'monkey'! James, you can be the monkey (since he was holding a basketball)."

So we did, and it was very fun! In the end it was down to me, Theviyan, Meera, and James. I think. My memory is a little fuzzy lol. And while I was scoring my work at the scoring table, James asked me, "How come you're always smiling? It's like you never get emo."

Actually, I do, you know. Get emo, I mean. Sometimes. Not very often though. Like that time I got emo by listening to sad Tokio Hotel songs? Yeah. I don't get emo by listening to the awesome, wonderful, super-talented, beautiful foursome's songs anymore, though. I don't know what was wrong with me that day. I was kind of bored, and my brothers were annoying me like crap by crying and screaming at each other. Ugh.

... Do you ever think about what you're going to be when you grow up? You know, your future, career, and whatever. I think about it very often nowadays, and I was just thinking about it today as I was coming home from school. I don't know what I'll be when I grow up, so I imagined myself sitting around the house with two children, or maybe doing the dishes or housework or other things that housewives do, or maybe working as a clerk or cashier or whatever, while my husband was out at work...

IT WAS HORRIBLE. Ugh. Don't you feel bad by just thinking about that? Being a housewife, taking care of children, doing housework all the time and repeating the same daily routine (housework, taking care of the kids, cooking) every single day? Omg! I felt kind of scared thinking about that, like, "What if I really do become like that when I grow up?" *shudders* I mean, what a horribly BORING life! ... I might -- MIGHT -- change my mind when I grow up, though, and that might be the life I would want when I become an adult.

But not now. Now it sounds so boring, it scares me.

Hmm... I think I read and watch too many shows about celebrities...

I have quite big dreams. I don't want to just sit around all day taking care of the children and cooking (I can't cook!) and stuff, I want to travel and... I don't know. But maybe that's all they are -- dreams. Urgh. I know what some of you are probably thinking of saying to me now: "If you pursue your dreams, JiaYu, they won't be just dreams when they come true! Strive to fulfill your dreams! Nothing is impossible! Here! Take my blessing!" LOL.

Lalalalala... Bam bada bing, bada boom...

Bill Kaulitz is so adorably sexy. XD

Eurgh... JiaHe did it again. He talked to Kelvin using my MSN account while I was afk (away from keyboard). We made this deal because this isn't the first time he's done this sort of thing. The deal is that he can pretend to be me on my MSN, but he cannot close the window, so that I will be able to read what he has typed and who he's talked to.

He said "I love you" to Kelvin today, while he was at Isaac's house, so Isaac saw it too. Thankfully, they were smart enough to know I wouldn't just go and say "I love you" all of a sudden, like that. Hahaha. So there, JiaHe. You'll have to do a better job the next time.

Isaac thinks JiaHe is funny now. Which he is. Funny, I mean. JiaHe is funny. Lol.

Lololololol. Ah well. Gonna go now and try to figure how to play the rest of "Rescue Me" by Tokio Hotel on the piano. It's really hard to find accurate TH piano sheet music (so far I haven't found any that are in the right key), so I'm trying to play it by ear. I've got the first 4 verses and the first chorus right.

Figuring out the rest is hard. Geez.

Well. Good night now. Remember, if you know what to fill in for the telephone number thing when you purchase something in eBay, DON'T keep quiet about it.

GOOD NIGHT.
