stop buying newspaper?

it is another clear sunny day in bad ems and it is a sunday. so all shops are closed but i think people will be out taking a stroll in town and at the park. i met many couples who were out on a walk the day before yesterday when i went for my run in similar weather.

yeelin and i are planning to go to emser-therme for another swim. so i guess i will not be doing anymore running because my clothes will not dry in time for me to pack them and go home. i hope the place is not going to be crowded. will do more laps this time around. last time, we frolicked more in the outdoor pool enjoying all the water massages they have instead.

few days ago, i was complaining about not doing enough reading here, and 2 days later, i have finished 2 books. haha...i have finished reading middlesex and hotel babylon (in one day) and now i am halfway through on chesil beach by ian mcewan. i think i can finish it by tomorrow. i have been tucking myself into bed early and doing reading and the afternoons too reading by the clear sunlight.

yesterday, aunt, yeelin and i went to a mall called Centro in oberhausen for some shopping. it is about 90 mins drive away. it is a mall so we do not have to worry about the cold outside. the shops there were nothing special, quite boring actually. yeelin got the most while i got myself a belt. the place was so crowded with ppl on holidays. this is the time for them to take holidays till new year.

well, have finished reading my morning papers already so will be logging off soon and continue with my reading. oh, on the topic of newspaper, i am wondering whether i should stop buying newspaper for next year...i managed to get all the news online at the star website, so why bother holding the hard copy? i will be switching on my computer at work everyday and at home, so is there a need to spend rm1.20 everyday? haha...everyone is talking about fund management for 2009, so i guess this is one way of cutting down too huh. what do u think?
