Online Shopping Bag
So... these got delivered today. Fortunately it's PosLaju this time so they got here pretty fast. And yes, it's from 11.11 sale event.

| Berlitz: Italian Phrase Book & Dictionary・Savoir Faire (Laura Lee)・The Midwich Cuckoos (John Wyndham)・Charlotte Brontë: A Fiery Heart (Claire Harman) |
More non-fiction books! Two language-related books, another John Wyndham novel and a biography book. I don't know much about Charlotte Brontë so when I saw this on Bookxcess/BBW, I instantly wanted it. It's a beautiful hardcover book.. there's like a photo of her manuscript or letter (I think) inside the cover (dunno what that part is called 2022/05/12 edit: endpaper!). The paperback version is RM87+ on Book Depository... so I was lucky enough to get this for under RM20 on BBW's Shopee!

Going to make this an On This Day post because the old post is a short one. It's from 2009 and the title is: "Got the Monday Blues." Coincidentally, I just recently posted a colour-something Monday post last week XD
Everything is blue today. Black. Grey. Not colourful.
Oh.. past-me. We're still the same after so many years haha
I hate my procrastinating self more than ever.Sigh. I still don't like that side of me. Still have the problem. Still trying to like find a way to live with it because it's not going away. I've accepted it as a part of my life. It's also related to my perfectionist side which is also something I'm trying to tone down... because I embrace the idea of imperfection is perfect. I think I'm better at managing it now (thanks to my one and only working experience in 2017-18).. nothing's gonna get done if I insist on perfection all the time. Sometimes, you just have to jump in blind and hope for the best. (The key here is sometimes, which is not equal to all the time, just repeating this in case you're skimming this part :P)
I just knew that I missed my course registration again.No Japanese language class for me next semester and so on.>_<
I still think about this sometimes. What if I succeed in registering for Japanese language course at that time? Will I be more confident in speaking Japanese now? My speaking "practice" now consist of me talking to myself (no need to pity me, I'm happy with this XD), repeating what I hear on Youtube etc and reading out loud the conversations I saw in Japanese mobile games I play.
I am grateful that I picked French when I couldn't register for Japanese. It was a totally new language for me at that time. I won't say that I excelled at it as I wanted to but I think I did okay despite having a hard time in uni.
Okay... that got long. Didn't mean to make this too long lol
