History. It's just one fucking thing after another

I must reiterate that I think The History Boys did not receive the worldwide acclaim and adulation they deserve! I know everyone's been through this with me before, but I just got the DVD and I watched it twice already since then. It's so... "lingering". As Posner would say.

Ah anyway after a long long break in Surabaya and Jakarta here I am. Same as ever, maybe more pissed, definitely more cashless. The shopping there is CRAZY. I swear. In one mall there are 80 luxury stores.. One floor just shoes - On Pedder, Linea, the works. I nearly died there. Sure, many things caught our (collective term for my sister and I) fancy, but we were frugal galz so we only spent as necessary. Well I did. I realise that she tries to justify buying a bag for "travel" every half a year. Or something. The last time she got a messenger bag, that was before we went to HK, for "travel". In her words, "big and roomy and loads of compartments!!". This time in Jakarta, it is a small nylong bag, few compartments, really, but it came with a long detachable strap and two thick handles. Guess what she said, "You know, the messenger I bought last year? Too heavy! I'd have to rummage all the time - it's too big. Now this tiny little thing is just perfect for stowing away the bare necessities, you don't think?". Uhm, yes.

OMG I HATE BLOGGER AND THIS COMPUTER HALF MY ENTRY GOT ERASED.

I was saying, to borrow a teenlike jargon, I feel "numb" about the fact that I'm leaving in less than 2 weeks. And no, I don't have the American Dream in mind. I should glitter-ise (or glitter-ize, just to get in the mood) that phrase. Ah.

I miss everyone!
