After classes today i went over to Amcorp Mall for the big bad book sale :) ...
I was very excited... dreaming of the books that i hoped i could get there... when i reached the entrance i saw a lady walking out with a bag of books already.. and since it was on the 3rd floor as i went up the escalator more and more people were coming down with bags and bags of books..being an economics student... *ahem* i saw it as a bad sign... that just meant less books for me...
As i got to the entrance... i was feeling so... :( & -.- ... there were so many people there... cousin SW thought of coming but when i saw the crowd..and remembering the fact that she is pregnant... i quickly sms-ed her to tell her it was super packed... i went in with a mental list of what i wanted to get for myself and looked around for nice stuff for cousin SW, Rachel. mum, bro and my aunt ... i started browsing a few books when i thought.. hmm..maybe i should scout around to see the overall setup first.. so i did just that.. and to my dismay i couldn't find a lot of things i wanted and it was so packed that i felt kinda... &$#^%$@&^...
Seriously!! why would you bring your kids to events like these?? especially those who had babies in prams and babies they had to carry... WHY??? ... i don't see the sense in it at all...
ok.. anyways..i went through the whole place a few times..in the end i only picked up one Grisham book..and it's not even the normal crime thrillers.. i got a biography of Hilary Clinton.. a big cookbook from Martha Stewart... (dunno if aunt has one so i didn't know if i shuold have gotten another one for her birthday ): ) ... an Oscar Wilde thingy which i thought was a biography but turned out to be quotes... a little erm.. booklet thingy about macroeconomics XD .. and a novel called Bridge of Sighs... not sure if it's good though.. :/ .. but i was lucky when mum came there was barely a queue at the cashier so i quickly paid and got out... before that it was such a long queue i got scared.... the total was RM52... and THAT is cheap...
the books aren't even in bad condition (if you pick wisely...) and the books would've cost at least 4 times more than the prices at the sale... like the cookbook which probably would've costed me at least rm80 and i got it for rm20!! but in the end if you don't find the books you're looking for it's not worth squeezing around with everyone.. the way they cough and some of them treat the books like... like... just because they dun wanna buy it means they can simply throw and crumple the books... hmph.. hate that kinda people :( ...
There were many "almost buy"s for me but.. i thought mum would say im silly and wasting her money for getting them so i didn't....but in the end she said i was silly for not getting them... i am hoping that they will restock.. and since my hunger for books is not satisfied yet i will be going again either tomorrow or saturday!! this time early in the morning... and if i still don't get what i want.. it won't be too bad coz we can go to A&W's after buying.. XD
