a lot of things in my head now
at the back of my mind for the past 2 weeks was what car to get to replace the corolla
the insurance payout should be arriving soon this coming week
been searching the web, reading the adverts a few choice in mind
toyota camry, toyota aurion( stretching the budget and have to bargain in order to get one), honda civic, mazda 3/6 , theres a lot of choices but many of them are private sellers
searching from dealers only reduces the choices due to the markup in prices
but the upside is the supposed better quality of cars from dealers
i would like to think that they have inspected the cars before trying to sell them
well theres always that risk of buying a lemon and i hope to reduce that chances
its even possible to get used bmw , wrx, lexus, is, but then... thinking about it, the costs of maintaining these vehicles is higher, not to mention i dont know whether this vehicles have been looked after
need vs want
what is deemed as a want by someone is deemed a need by others
and another problem is my stomach
the past month have been clearing bowels very often sometimes up to 3 times a day
its irritating and annoying
not sure what is causing all this
the food i eat?
is it the meals at the hall? the junk food i eat? the soft drinks?
or something more sinister
i hope not

2 more weeks of normal term time
1 week of swat vacation
then its exams already
5 weeks time and its the end of second year of uni
just like that 4 semesters of uni will be over
the damaged corolla has been towed away to be auctioned off at discounted prices
now awaiting for insurance payout from the insurers
this entire process is taking ages
ive repaired the corolla back to a drivable state and am forced to let go of it
i miss the car as a useful tool
giving you the freedom to go where you want without the contstaints of public transport
which is alright on weekday mornings and afternoons
but once the sun sets and the weekend arrives
public transport becomes .... well lets just say not very efficient
miss the bus? the next one will come in half an hour
after a certain time
its one hour intervals between buses
well maybe its good that im holed up in the hall more often
i need to get some serious work done
been slacking throughout this sem
even though i dont go out that much
i procastinate too much on the web, watching shows, youtubing
and results have suffered from this
need to think through a lot of things once this sem ends
need to re evaluate whether i should continue pursuing finance as one of my majors
having major difficulty coping with the units now, and these units are only the intermediate ones
have yet to the advanced units
need to think whether i can still go for exchange in the final semester next year
i think its too late to change majors now, have to make do with whatever i can get now
the few comforts now are eating good food to boost morale
but even thats a challenge with hall food
and junk food isnt a suitable substitute in the long run
