My beloved little bank card stopped working today, way before the day it was due.

Why? I dunno, really. My mother told me the bank said my card would stop working on the 15th of October, even though it was supposed to work until sometime in 2011.

Weird? Yes. And even weirder; it’s only the 11th today. Which basically leaves me with about 420 yuan until my new card arrives – mum said she’d try to send it as fast as possible about a week ago, but I have no idea if she sent it yet. And just to make the situation even worse; it takes at least two weeks to send things to China.

I guess I’ll have to take my passport and find a bank to retrieve some money on Monday, since I was actually supposed to stock up on cash today (that’s how I found out the card’s dead).

And I barely have any food left. Guess I’ll be living on cheap noodles and hamburger buns in bread shape for quite a while. I don’t even have money to buy fruit or go clubbing if I’m going to make the money stretch enough for two weeks.
