take me places...

yes they do... books take me places... places i've nvr bn before, places i might not even be able to reach but am dying to explore: the cultures, the food, the sceneries...
they let me be someone i wish i were, someone i could nvr be... or mb if i just give myself a lil nudge, i could... just mb...
they r my saviour. they help beat depression.. or at least it's comforting to be reassured o one thing: watever shites i've had to endure or will have to endure, it's not as bad as some other souls have to battle...

if i were to leave tis place (not that i am any time soon), the book sale is one o the things i wud definitely miss. i've promised not to spend on anything tis month since the car insurance + road tax are due, but i couldnt resist these... got me hard cover shanghai girls by lisa see for 19.90 (rp69.90), man & wife by tony parson for 17.90 (rp45), waiting by ha jin for 17.90 (rp 59.30) & i also got dhani yertle the turtle (by dr seuss) floor puzzle for 24.90. book xcess opens a booth here almost every month and it's always a day or two aft our payday. wat a cunning tactic!

how i wish i could just splurge & splurge & splurge on just anything. but for a single mom wit tis income,  it'd be irresponsible to do that. as long as all essentials r met, alhamdulillah, other urges could wait :)

mb wen ahmad dhani shetopot is big & successful, he'll have the chance to go places, explore cultures, experience food, soak up sceneries of all the places i could only read now... & if he stil loves me the way he does now, mb he'd let me tag along. who knows... hehe.

insyaAllah ;)
