Impulsive spending

I came to The Waterfront, Desa Park City which is only a 3 minute drive away from my place for only one reason - to get ice for the open house. Instead, I saw this huge banner saying that there is a 'once-in-a-month-MPH-sale' in The Waterfront and one event leads to the other - I ended up buying Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. I usually wait for hardcovers to turn into paperbacks (exception : the Harry Potter series) but there was a 10% discount so I just couldn't resist.

So now I'm RM 89 poorer, RM 89 less from the fund I created for a pair of spectacles that I wanted. Just hope that the book will be all worth it, according to my standards. I'm ignoring all the mixed reviews that the book has just now and am gonna indulge myself into it next weekend =)

Books Galore! MPH Warehouse Sale..

I'm not going to spend any money now on books. I think I spent quite enough money on it to last me for a couple of months especially after the finals. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't find George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm (since the waiting line on Zati's book is so long!). It was really HOT and there was so many people around but it was worth the time and money spent. Books of my selection are priced from rm8, 15 and 20.

I managed to get Zaimah The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger, and if she replied my msg, Dante's Inferno. Got 3 books for Mama - 2 by Lee Child and 1 James Patterson. She really digs into this whole mystery/espionage series and little sister got herself the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer which is said to be replacing the Harry Potter craze which I don't quite understand because it's nowhere as good as Harry and also Spark's A Walk To Remember. It's filled with raging teenage hormones (yes, I was doped into buying the first book..).

 

I managed to treat myself to classics, something which I want to get for a long time. Bronte, Dickens, Dostoevsky, Oscar Wilde and Henry James. I also managed to get some book by Grisham, Ahern, Zaid Ibrahim, and Picoult. I was tempted to get 1421 but I was trying not to be greedy.

This isn't the right time to be talking about fictions when final exams are coming up in less than 5 days! All the best in your respective finals, whoever you are and wherever you are.

ULTIMATUM

Just went back from my 1st ever debate AGM in gombak. Lets just say that it's quite different from what I expected it to be. With the makan2 session in the end. I had a long day... but I managed to fit in Bourne in between the schedule since I know this might be the last movie I'll watch in the coming weeks. The movie was awesome. I never quite liked the 'cat and mouse' movie where 3/4 of the movie is about one dude chasing another dude. Smack smack, kill kill, shoot shoot, belasah belasah. This one is different. Somehow it's interesting(and no... it's not because Matt Damon is Bourne). Somehow the movie doesn't feel draggy, even with the lots of tumbuk tumbuk part. I feel like clapping at the end of the movie, and apparently I wasn't the only one . It's been a long time since I watched a movies that makes me feel good and I'm glad this movie movie did just that. Kinda reminded me of tkc's film show. I like like this movie.

I still have Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Identity in my book shelf, got it during a sale. It's been there for more than a year, untouched. I really want to read it but somehow I still haven't. My mum said that it's one of the best 'spy2 espionage' books she ever read. She also has Supremacy and Ultimatum in the bookshelf, just waiting to be discovered by her daughter. Gotta postpone again reading fictions, I have 2 test coming up next week and finals coming up soon. I SHOULD study.

Nabila, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
