My landlord is so sweet!

My landlord is absolutely a gem!

The old TV which he lent me died within 3 days, and I have been wondering how on earth to tell him... whether he might barf and kick me out or something.

Instead, he simply said, oh I'll replace with another old TV for you. I told him, repeatedly no hurry as I wasn't the sort who desperately needs a TV for my survival.

And he went out a few hours later and came back with a second hand TV. Mind you, i gaped at him, and he laughed and said i shouldn't expect this sort of treatment all the time.

Golly! It's not the TV itself---i never was a big TV watcher anyway, but the gesture i appreciate.

He also made reference to the earlier incident and said E, his partner, has called me an excellent policeman for the house, since i bothered to check the identities of the fish-tank removers. Laughs. looks like i have a new nickname now.
Also, I went sightseeing today on my way from church. i also had a wonderful book sale where novels were going for 2-3 pounds...

Ok, so i'm turning into a shopaholic, but well, I have decided I'm going to let go a bit and spend. London is expensive and first i had to cope with the shock of moving from C to London, b'coz i ended having to pay at least 5k more pounds for schoolfees and let's not even get down to accommodation and transport.

Trying to economise frantically will drive me insane, slowly, so i'm now rubbing my hands in glee over my new novels---aiyah, sian, cannot read anymore academic texts already, i haven't finished my assignments as i proudly proclaim in my previous entries but aiyah!---and my new tops and scarf. at worse i'll try to find a part-time job in june but i'm going to let go and enjoy myself for the next few months at least.
