its abookalypse!

so, every year The Big Bad Wolf brings books at a cheap rate..so cheap that u're just FORCED to buy! it is crazy! and you'd be crazy not to buy! most books are at a RM8 price range! DO YOU KNOW HOW CHEAP THAT IS FOR A BOOK?! when i first heard about the sale, i was sceptical, because most of the time, books that goes for cheap are shit titles! but..this sale has a good range of book titles for all! 

LOL. that sounded like an advert for them! i swear i am not being sponsored by them to say that! I WISH!

anywho, i went to the sale, and needless to say..i SHOPPED! and shopped! and 1 trip was not enough (as they were cheeky and release new titles every now and then, that i had to keep going back).

but i was really happy i went the many times i did! i discovered new books to read, books i was curious about before, and books i had on my wishlist for forever.
decisions!

my buddies throughout this fiasco was Ewie, Jing, Zhi, Yee Keong, & Justin!
the dilemma of TOO many books!

i went to the sale, a total of 6 times..and bought something each time!

so without further ado, here is my massive book haul of over 6 trips! :)
yes, i feel extra nerdy now, and i am in serious need of a new bookshelf because of it.

update & BOTD #7

been spending a lot lately..despite my empty bank account!
anywho, here’s a brief update on the past week or so!
` my youngest brother (smelly boy, Kin Sing) turned 14 on Saturday [23.07.2011]! *confetti in the air* HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOYYYY! YOUR PRESENT WILL COME SOON! :P I PROMISE!!
` I finally booked my flight for a last minute holiday trip to Hong Kong with my sister! im just going to bunk off her like a useless younger sister should! :P <3 much love che, much love. just fyi, im going to Hong Kong on the 14th of August and returning on the 18th!! *excited!*
` read up a lot during the hols I must say..I finished most of my Cecelia Ahern books that I bought/borrowed that I never got round to reading! I finished A Place Called Here and Where Rainbows End..and am currently reading The Book Of Tomorrow..
mini review: A Place Called Here didn’t suck me in at the beginning! the 1st quarter of the book, it was mmmm..okayyyy..I started reading it I think in May I would say, but I stopped cause of school work and stuff..but u know, I didn’t get my usual urges to pick up the book again..and I only picked it up when I had nothing to do one afternoon…but I enjoyed the rest of the book.
Where Rainbows End, for me at first it got me wondering if the whole book would be in notes, letters, instant text form..and for a moment I didn’t think id like it..I mean I do read those kinds of books and enjoy them, but I wasn’t sure for this book..as it went..I loved it! I must say I like this book more compared to A Place Called Here. but I got annoyed at the characters at one point! *one line spoiler alert!* cause well, their love is SO strong and obvious but it took them SO LONG to admit it! grrr..but the book was good.
lol! I know that in my sidebar, the book listed under “Currently Reading,” is The Witching Hour..but I have that on my ipad and I don’t know where the heck the ipad is!! my siblings have taken possession of it and I have yet to see the shadow of it! I should update the sidebar! id do it after this post!
` remember the previous post about me applying for an overload in subjects!? well I GOT IT! WOO HOO! need to go to Uni to sort out the timetable!! which brings me to the next point,
` today marks the last day of holidays, and tomorrow would be the first day of my fourth year in Monash, my final year! and this semester, id be going FIVE subjects!! oh please have mercy on me…
` on a random, I-don’t-know-why-im-blogging-about-this note…I wrote a draft of my resume on Friday (to apply for intern, yes I know im late! but I didn’t think id be able to do intern this year..but it turns out I can!)..and LOL I didn’t know I did so much shit in highschool! I got certificates for the FUNNIEST things and even things I don’t remember doing..like winning FIRST PLACE FOR MALAY POEM WRITING!!! LOL wth?! where did that come from! I got that cert in form 2! heck my Malay then was,..shall I say, not very fluent yet! LOLLLL!! heck even now, my Malay is still inferior to many! majority! how the heck did I create a Malay poem?! LOL! ok shall stop LOL-ing at myself now!
