Came to realisation that I desperately need a laptop or at least a working computer for my own. Told mom about it today when I made my daily phone call to let her know that her eldest daughter wasn't languishing on campus. She offered to ask Dad for help so I could get a laptop at a corporate discounted price. Not that I don't appreciate the offer... family and all things mercernary tend to get messy and all tangled up, you know?
So decided to go scout Best Denki @ IMM or Jurong Point after school to see if there have any bang-for-buck laptops for impoverished students like me. I'm starting to feel two things:
1. the hems at the edge of a blanket called Desperation.
2. seriously dead broke... or approaching it at break neck speed.

Still feeling like a total cow on two legs at the rate I seem to be craving for food.
******
I miss the clean bathrooms of home.

Realised that life could have turned out much worse, after I read 'The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole' by Sue Townsend, for the nth time.
I could have been a hypochondriac teenager with delusions of literate grandeur.
Instead, I am a clueless trainee teacher on the verge of a social and financial downward spiral.
Difference between option 1 and 2?
At least, i have a paycheck.

I wish I could buy a new laptop too but I don't have enough money yet. Anyway, when it comes to this situation, my mother's advice is to split the price and let both parties pay the needed money - just trying to help
