Bankrupt

Currently I am bankrupt, and bankrupt for a good cause. I did not know that I am an impulsive buyer. I have actually bought my new 'advanced' key board. No offense to my old one,for that was the one that taught me how to be a musician and made my fingers nimble enough. While the old one would always be there, this new one is fantastic. It is a Roland E-09, Black Colour model. My first one Yamaha PSR-275 was a silver coloured one. While the old one looked beautiful as well, I have a penchant for black, remember my bike is a black beauty as well!!! And the amazing thing is this keyboard has some Indian rhythms loaded into it, which calls for some experimentation. Probably this time I am going to record some thing and going to pin it up over here.
Ok!! I did not stop over there, bought a reebok-T and a short, was about to buy a squash racket: postponed it. Add to that my daily food expense is almost about 25 RM, which is about 300 Rs. I am going bankrupt.
About the impulsive buyer thing: Actually I should have realized this before. Just remembering the London days when a visit to ASDA (The general store) would mean four packet full of useless articles. Some of them would actually end up in the dustbin.
Perhaps one sales girl understood this when I was returning from the mall- after getting the keyboard. She came up to me and sprayed a nice perfume on my hand which smelled beautiful!!!

Kuala Lumpur: The Beginning

I seriously need some sleep now. But still cannot resist posting my first day at Kuala Lumpur. No nothing rocking...but the first day is always a mixed bag.
I have got used to international travel but this journey was different. Could not sleep the entire journey. To add to this traveling east means I gained on time. And I seriously hated Thai Airways: Even the Air hostesses were bad. In fact there were more host.
The flow of events:
1) Confusion at KL airport: I was hurrying ahead of the other passengers to avoid the rush at the VISA check. Ended up at a dead end where some trains were running. Thought I was at the wrong place, everybody boarded the train and left. The train is the mode of travel at KL airport!!!!
2) Journey from the airport was awesome : The car zooming at 150 km/hr remembered London
3) Went out for lunch and did some hunting as well: The games are real bad. I am already missing India, London, Germany
4) Went to gym after a long time, I hope I regain my bulges at the least possible time and bring in more.
5) Had dinner at an Indian restaurant as if I am missing Indian food for a long long time. I sometimes feel this longing, missing are such mind games.

Tomorrow morning I would be back at office. The workplace seemed cool from outside. I hope the work turns out good as well.
