it's a friday

Today is my sister's birthday and this morning, at 6 am, i was waken up by my mom. One of my uncles has passed away in his sleep early this morning, probably before dawn. Don't worry ladies, i'm fine. I haven't seen him for ages, although he's my mom's step-brother. It's still sad, and shocking. He was diagnosed with blockage in his coronary arteries some time last year but he was slowly recovering. But suddenly, he's gone.
Like ping said, when a person heals miraculously fast, normally it hints something bad is on its way. But someone who complains all the time about the pains, that person usually still has a long way to go.
My mom is in labuan now. I'm taking a day off tomorrow so i can stay back in tutong, fetching my brother and niece from school.

Sometimes, i find it a bit sorry because my generation doesn't know those elders from my parents' or grandparents' generations well. There are lots of times when i meet some people, who they know well about my parents or elders in my family but i have no idea how to address them at all. For me, that is not polite. Or sometimes i know who they are but i simply don't know how we are related, so most of the time, i can only smile, as sweet and polite as i can.

A vocational school is looking for a daily-paid instructor. I know, i've said it that i don't want to teach. But now, i'm applying for it. Hmm.. that's life i guess. I have to be 'flexible', do the right thing at the right time. It's a chance after all. Who knows, it might turn out that i enjoy teaching, since i've always longed for someone to share those amazing facts i've learnt. Hope i can get it.

At the moment, i'm thinking of getting a new car. We're short of one car at home. I know my sister and brother have been expecting me to buy a new car since long time ago but i've been procrastinating about it. Because i think what we needed was not a new car, we just needed to be more cooperative and share the cars.
Now i see the need of another car. I'm thinking of getting a second hand one, so i can save more money, with a shorter duration of loans. But both my sister and dad think i should get a brand new car. I don't understand. Does new car always the synonym for less or no problem?
My main problem is, i don't have any preference when it comes to car. Oh maybe just 1, i don't like to have big cars, because big cars mean more money to me. I want a car which i'm confident enough with the loans.

Eversince i start to share the family expenses, i realized how easily money can be spent. I'll try every way i can to minimize spending. Thank god i have spare money when my corolla car needed serious repair last time. Hmm.. i'll buy based on primary needs, not secondary needs..

Swait Zin, if you're reading this, i have one question for you: WHERE is our photos taken at Capers last time??
