The orders for two of the packages (...parcels) got cancelled by Shopee ("Lost in Transit"). 

I should be mad but I find this situation really bizarrely funny... all I can do now is laugh.

LOL

Might [ask someone to] go and ask at J&T Penampang if they still have the packages/parcels (I saw on their FB that they're hiring so I'm guessing they got overwhelmed after Raya...?).

I have two other packages that I really hope won't get cancelled because they are pre-loved books... you can't buy that from the same seller again.

Wait.. saw something on their FB. Appointment form for self-collection for Kolombong ones... but mine are all at Penampang...

OMG this is so sad... they must be crying there. 

Hmm.

Yes... actually, I'm still laughing.

Around 10am, I sent a WhatsApp message to one of their contact numbers I found on their Facebook page asking if it's possible to go self-collect the parcels today (because apparently there are days where they don't allow self-collection). I didn't receive any replies but when I checked the tracking page at noon, the statuses for three parcels had miraculously changed to "Delivery" *bitter smile*.

Received them shortly after 1pm...

I guess now I have to wait for Shopee's e-mail to return the refund...? (that's so weird to type out lol). 

Where to start...

Okay, so... the local library offers an e-library that consists of locally written books. I was curious, so I registered and borrowed something I thought would be light. It looks like a YA book. 

I was so, so wrong.

The book was a mix of things. I was expecting a coming-of-age kind of story. But then they added the sci-fi elements... and a pinch of sports at the end. And there are so many deaths. Mostly are animals', which I'm very uncomfortable with (wouldn't pick this book if I knew it earlier). The way it described the deaths were quite graphic too. Brief, but graphic. I'm very surprised that this is something children/teenagers read nowadays. The cover looks so innocent and harmless. You really shouldn't judge a book by its cover. 

As I reached the end, seeing how fast... living things were dying one by one, I actually laughed out loud, in bitterness. WTF is this book? Why do you kill your [animal] characters so easily?

I'm not even going to mention the title here. Honestly, I'm feeling a bit embarrassed. It made me wonder if I've been reading books wrongly. Maybe, as I just got out of my reading slump cave, the latest generation has uncovered a new, hip way of reading? 

I'm really tired of published books that read like fanfics or school essays.

Maybe I just picked the wrong book to read today.

Went to bed early around 10pm and woke up very early.... at 12am. *SIGH*  Now I'm contemplating over buying a Chinese dictionary from Taiwan on Youbeli (same shop I used last year). My mind is still active after two hours. I really hope it's that easy to go back to sleep after that. 

I just want to sleep.
