Well, I received my book vouchers of RM 250 before my holiday started.
At that time, I was contemplating whether to use it to buy medical books a.k.a my textbooks, or just spend them on some good books that I've been dying to read.
Whenever I pass by Popular bookstore in Sunway Carnival Mall, I will get tempted again and again to buy their books. Because, they keep having this RM 8 promotion. It's like each book cost RM 8 or above. The most expensive I think will only be RM 20.
At first there were a bunch of thriller and mystery novels on the shelf, but when I finally decided to buy some books there, those books just went "poof!". They were replaced by romance novels *which most of the books look kinda slutty* Goddamit, I should've bought them earlier! I was always hesitating to buy non-academic books because I'm worried that they will just sit at my home and collect dust. I super regretted that I hesitated for so long. Nevertheless, I still went on a book haul with my book vouchers!
At first I went to The Roof at First Avenue for some event, together with my parents. We were bored during the event, so my mum and I left The Roof for a while and went to get some fresh air in 1 Utama. We planned to do some window shopping, but our shoes wouldn't let us. I was wearing a pair of new flats, which was "eating up" my legs and I was beginning to get boils around my ankles. My mum, on the other hand, was wearing a pair of heels.
After 30 seconds of entering 1 Utama, we decided to just find a place to eat some snacks and rest (most importantly, to SIT. Haha.) We first saw Pizza Milano, which is an Italian pasta restaurant. I was not in the mood for any pizza, of course, so did my mum. Well, anyway we just sat there and ordered DESSERT. LOL. While my mum was having fun with her Ipad, I finished up the dessert and went to Popular Bookstore, which was just right opposite Pizza Milano. All the books I bought was mostly related with music. I know it will take me a million years to just learn a song, still I splurged RM150 onto 4 books. Two on piano, one on guitar, and one crosswords book.
Ultimate Piano by Nick Freeth and
Play The Piano Made Easy by Alan Brown and Jake Jackson
The Complete Guitar Course by Tom Fleming
Crossword by Parragon
Something to improve my vocabulary :P
or a "copy answer book"
After a few weeks, I went to Sunway Pyramid with my secondary school buddies, and from Popular Bookstore again, I bought an ENCYCLOPEDIA!! It's about animals. AGAIN, of course, the encyclopedia took me 30 minutes to decide on it. Until one of my friend *who was waiting for me* ended up sitting on the floor at the magazine section to update herself about celebrity gossip news. Haha. My other friend was also hesitating with me, just that her "target" was comic books and others. She's a all-time major hardcore anime fan. Hehe.
I'm really glad I bought this Animal Encyclopedia! I kept pondering on which encyclopedia to buy, as under the Highlights section there were 2 encyclopedia on display. One was about animals, and the other one was about science discoveries. The books were sealed and I didn't know that I can actually go to the counter to rip them off, so I kept hesitating. In the end I chose the animal one, because after studying the "science discoveries" book COVER carefully, I found out that I already knew some of the stuff included in that encyclopedia (I mean, I already studied science for so years, those were the people who invented some stuff, bla bla, microscope, etc)
Animal - The Definitive Visual Guide To The World's Wildlife by DK
The book cover is SOOO COOOL! Absolutely diggin the cover, you know why? It looked like a zebra with an INTENSE stare *or maybe a sleepy stare* and I thought that was it.
But it wasn't.
When I touched it, I was like "Whoa! Hold your
At the end of the day, I'm really happy that I bought these books instead of medical books. I guess I need to have a life outside textbooks, after all. :D
