Mom & Dad are coming back!!!!

My parents are coming back tomorrow! They called home and said they will arrive in KL late evening. Finally. I was really worried about them.

I have to work this Saturday again :( This time going to Sg Besi. My boss is going though, so that means she'll be doing the driving... hehehe... then after that it's a full day. Meeting some of the others up at Midvalley for dinner and I have some plans before that, which means I won't be home at all so I'll be lugging my office laptop around the whole day. Sigh....

I have a major complaint to make but I'm way too tired to type it tonight... I slept at 3am last night and the whole day consisted of my trying to make it through.... a full night of practice again so I had no chance to nap. Thank goodness we had an early night! I'm hitting the sack now!

A dream home and a comic book

I went with Wai Seng today to check out some condos in Mutiara Damansara, possibly as investment properties. First we checked out the Ritze Perdana which had two kinds of units: a studio, and a one-bedroom unit. I didn't quite like the studio unit, mainly because the kitchen and bed area share the same room which means any fumes from the kitchen will travel all the way to the bed. The one-bedroom unit was perfect for a single person to stay. The only problem with it was.... it's a commercial property!!! Bad idea... the assessment would be so much higher, and we won't be protected by the house owner's laws. It's such a pity. If it were a residential property, I'd get one, even if not to rent out; I wouldn't mind staying there.

Then we had a look at the Armanee terrace, which is a duplex unit. It was so lovely!!! Each unit comes with a small garden outside the dining/living area. On the lower floor, there's a small wet & dry kitchen, with a tiny dryer area beyond the wet kitchen; a dining area; a room (which can be used as a maid's room or a storeroom) and a bathroom. Upstairs there's a master bedroom with attached bathroom; 2 bedrooms with connected bathroom; and a lounge. I was already imagining the functions of each room that I could use... the furnishings... the wonderful privacy it offers...

The problem, of course, was that I simply could not afford it. :'( As it is, I can't even afford to buy my own computer, how could I possibly buy such a posh condo? The maintenance fee itself would kill me!

Sigh...

Well, on a brighter note, I managed to buy another FoxTrot comic book. Yup... I'm a major FoxTrot fan. I'm trying to collect all the anthologies that have ever been published, which is quite difficult as there isn't much import of these comic books. I have yet to find someone else who's as major a fan as I am. Everyone else loves comics like Garfield (yech) and Peanuts (borrring) and Archie (eh???). I mean, I know there are some people who enjoy FoxTrot, but not as mad as I am enough to buy all the books and to subscribe to the online comics website just to get my daily dose of the comic... in fact, paying subscription to be able to get the archives! I suppose I'm just the weird one who's able to appreciate the comic...
