Simple joys

Posted on: February 22nd, 2012

I’m quite excited because I finally found the book I wanted to read (Tales from the Perilous Realm by J.R.R. Tolkien). I couldn’t find it here in Brunei. I haven’t exactly looked into every bookstore in Brunei but there aren’t too many bookstores here so it is quite safe to assume the book is not currently being sold in this country. And I couldn’t find any online stores that ship the book to here without charging outrageous shipping cost. Fortunately my sister’s friend found the book in Malaysia and she’s going to get my dad (who will be in Malaysia as well for a couple of days) to bring it back to me.

Speaking of costly shipping charges, I want to get a replacement data cable for my sister’s digital camera since she’s lost the original cable. I found one on Amazon for USD8 but the shipping tax is 10 times the item’s cost! I think it’s just way too much so in the end I didn’t buy it. I would’ve just gone to the store where we bought the camera if they had any spare in stock (which they don’t, obviously).

It’s been a while since the last time I played Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town (MFoMT) (GBA platform) and I’m only picking it up again. Only that this time I can play it on the computer with the help of game emulator.
