I have a dream that come this June, I will be able to fulfil my lust for a PS3 and enjoy the glory of FFXIII.

But my dream has been broken by certain events that was beyond my control. Previously it was the duty stamp and legal fees that I need to pay to the bank, for a house loan that was entrusted upon me. That had set me back by a few thousand Ringgits.

Next was the professional fee charged by the housing evaluator for their ‘fair’ evaluation report on the state and value of the house. That has further set me a few hundred Ringgits.

Just a few days ago, I received a call from the lawyer that was ‘appointed’ for me for the Sales & Purchase of the house: I need to settle a few more thousand Ringgits for their legal fees.

All on all, I am now officially on a deficit budget FOR THE YEAR, which means that I have spend more than what I’ve earned for my current financial year which will end in June this year. Technically I still have 3 more months to fix my financial back into positive balances, but it will come with the cost of not being able to spend as I wish.

The legal and processing costs of purchasing this medium cost house was beyond my expectation, and this is one of the expensive lesson that I’ve learned this year. :(

The words of John Dryden sounds true, either if one reads it literally, or metaphorically: “Beauty, like ice, our footing does betray; Who can tread sure on the smooth, slippery way: Pleased with the surface, we glide swiftly on, And see the dangers that we cannot shun.”

Yesterday I went to Disney on Ice with my sis and cousin. With a full stomach thanks to a very filling Satay Kajang courtesy of my uncle, We were fully entertained by the show. This was my first Disney on Ice show ever, and it was not a disappointment that I forked our close to RM 155.00 for the rink-side seat.

I love the dances, the performances, the skating movement. The story for this year’s Disney on Ice is that Mickey and friends had to call the help of the Incredibles to fight against evil. I think the Incredibles characters were superb and they were the best on ice, IMHO. Dash is now officially my favourite Disney character. ;)

There were some mis-steps and falls on the stage as they skate around, but that was expected as the ice rink was slippery towards the first half of the show – can’t blame our hot weather! But the cast were nevertheless managed to continue the whole show as scheduled, and it was a professional job on their part in making the show a success.

Today I went to Sunway Pyramid with my sis, Mus, and Shima (Mus’ girlfriend). We went to ice skate at the only ice skating ring in Peninsular Malaysia – and it’s perfectly reasonable to say that it was due to the Disney on Ice show that we went the day before. LOL. I have invited Zul to come along, but he could not make it because he ‘need to rest’. Whatever.

It took me a few minutes to adjust my body to the great feeling of skating, as it has been ages since my last visit. But it was marvellous. Fantastic. I felt a bit tired after a few minutes on the ice, but a short rest helped me to get used to the skating stuff.

Things were not that great for Mus since he got ‘sakit kaki’ after a few rounds of skating. My sis, Mus, and Shima fell a few times on the ice. Thank god this time I didn’t – but there were a few near-miss. I guess I need to shape up and get myself into skating more regularly. We concluded our skating trip at Laksa Shack.

Overall, it has been a splendid ice-theme week for me.

“By it’s very definition, Glee is about opening yourself up to joy”.

I have completed a marathon on the first season of Glee. What was the initial target of only watching episode 5 on Sunday night turned into a straight non-stop visualisation of popular songs and awesome dances with cool themes and abundance of moral take-aways. Overall, I cannot express in clarity of my enjoyment in watching Glee!

I have heard that many people compared this to High School Musical (HSM). I must admit that the similarity of musical-themes and of high school setup does make it worth being compared to one another. But the differences are huge as well, and we can see that even at the cast selection. The diversity in Glee is apparent. So, the majority has spokenth: Glee is far better than HSM. And I concur.

Now I’m trying my best to poison the minds of many with Glee. And waiting in agony of the next season, if there’s any. :)

Post-edit: Apparently there’s more then meet the eyes. I’ve watched up until episode 13, but season 1 is until episode 22 – 9 more episodes will be aired come March 2010 onwards. Can’t wait! And they have confirmed that there’s season 2 on the slate. :D
