TODAY WAS AWESOME!!! :D

So, last night I stayed up super late, JUST to be able to pre-order Raditya Dika's next book: Koala Kumal. I've read (almost) all of his books, and though I sometimes find 'unnecessary' words in those books, I also find meaning and lessons there. SUCH a clever writer & artist!

Here's the thing though:
Last night, hundreds of thousands of other people were also doing the same thing as me: waiting until the clock turns 12am and quickly pre-order the book. BUT THEN (as expected) the website got loaded with people and it crashed x_x
(Even though it showed the excitement and enthusiasm of the people... still!!!)

I was crushed when I saw that the website was unable to be opened. Just like the others, I tried refreshing the page every half-a-second or so. (Which may have made it worse, maybe....)

Finally, they opened their old website for those who couldn't open the new website. I went ahead to purchase the book, BUT it turned out that I haven't made an account on the site, soooo I had to wait until they re-opened the registration page on the old website (which previously had been closed and moved to the new site).

Fortunately, after 40-50 minutes full of franticness, nerves, 'sad puppy' eyes, mini heart attacks, squeals of hopes, I FINALLY bought my copy of Koala Kumal, complete with Raditya Dika's signature! Hopefully I will also get the t-shirt! ^^ Really looking forward to reading that book.

After that I stayed up a few more minutes, before finally able to fell asleep.


I woke up super late, but feeling soooo  happy.

Then off to church office to run some Christmas duties ^^
(Then a lunch of nasi capjay again :p)
 Then went to a meeting,
and, the all nerve-wrecking Youth's Christmas music rehearsal.

That was the first time we got to hear all of the songs played, in a simplified version with an acoustic flare mixed in it.
I just wanted to jump and dance (and cover my ears at the same time..)
Because what happened was, they rehearsed in this smaller room, and the sound of the drum got really loud!
WORTH IT though!!
I'm just so excited to welcome Christmas, I KNOW it's going to be awesome.


Well, off to get some rest now. Let's see what other treasures tomorrow brings ^^

CHEERS!!!
