A Kiss Is Still A Kiss (Only) in Casablanca

One week down and more weeks to come. Erghh.

Work that is.

Anyway, over the recent weekend my cousins and their parents came to visit and were on a shopping spree. Yeah, I had to join in. And burnt holes in my pocket. Dang.

We went to Ikea and was thinking about getting a new bookshelf with doors, for my increasing number of books. The cheapo shelf I bought from Ikea the last time (at a VERY cheap price!) is full and losing shape. I need to get a sturdier shelf board and I need to have the doors to cover my precious books from dust as well as decrease "yellowing" from humid air and sunlight. Need to think about it. Dang. Then I'll be thinking about getting air conditioning after that but I don't like sleeping in an air cond room on the other hand! Argh! What to do?!!

Bought new clothes for work. Fortunately, the items were not expensive. Can't afford to spend on G2000s.

And the best and worst part was going to Borders Bookstore. Dang. Bought 4 books. I'm a sucker and I can't help it. Must try my best to stay away from such stores. Must refrain myself.

But how can you refrain and restrain when you see all the nice looking books, all new and shiny placed upright on that counter, beckoning you to flip through its contents and with a tempting price promo like "(buy) 3 for (the price) of 2", *took deep breath* together with background music by The Corrs and Everly Brothers (All I Have To Do Is Dream fame), nice leather seats and comfortable air conditioning *another deep breath* - how could I not purchase the books so that I could read them at my own pace and time?!

Sigh.

And I acutally wanted to buy more! But controlled myself. So now I owe my mummy more money...heh. ^_^ Paying by 0% installment. Hoo hoo hoo!

For some reason, an old classic film just went through my mind. I remembered watching Casablanca in college and I understood why many have fallen in love with the film. Until now I can remember some bits here and there but remember this part the most. I laughed at these 2 quotes:

"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she has to walk into mine." Rick Blaine to Sam the piano guy.

"Here's looking at you kid." This is the part where Rick said a curt goodbye to Ilsa in the film. I remembered Raphael from TMNT saying this, with the whole works - trench coat and hat. Until I saw this film, I never knew where that original quote came from.

Just for fun, this is my version: "Of all people of all times of all places, his eyes has to meet mine."

To this mysterious bloke - "Here's looking at you kid."
