Wrong timing

Like when I feel like taking a nap but I just washed my hair.


So I decided to continue doing my work and maybe sneak in a short reading time. Been reading on this book on the footbinding custom which is really an eye opener.

It's called Snow Flowers and the Secret Fan. There's a lot of description of the process and what happens until they got married. I've yet to finish the book. Trying to finish up as many books as I can before I go crazy in BBW book fair in December. The boyfriend is bringing me!!!! *hops around*

Updates on Hatyai will be done soon, maybe on Saturday or Friday evening. =)

Book Xcess Fair

Hop on a tuk tuk before we went to the fair. Damn ugly I know.

When I found out about Book Xcess fair, I was beyond excited. I immediately mark my calendar and reminded the boyfie to do the same. The very first day it started, the boyfie and I grab our lunch and headed to Times Square. I've heard a lot about Book Xcess but have not been to any of its fair nor its shop. So I was amazed when I saw the books.

Books, people, books.

The boyfriend's

 You don't see any of my pictures after this as quoting the boyfie, I was 'running around frantically looking for books like they'll all be gone if I'm too slow'. I was excited okay? And that's my normal speed. =P I was too excited to even talk and I ended up buying lesser books than the boyfie.

Cook books, magazines

 My kind of book. =P If I spend more time at Book Xcess with more money, I might go back with even more.

Before leaving happily.

Went to 1st Avenue after that

 Wanted to get free coke refill but the boyfie said, "Let's blackball." And so we went.

Ordering Blackball

 Told you the boyfriend is hooked to blackball. This was the second day where we blackballed two days consecutively.

The boyfriend's haul

 Boyfie spent about RM200 while I spent about RM70. I got myself Book Xcess membership card some more. =P

Mine

Apparently now there's another fair in Island Plaza. Gonna beg the mother to bring me there tonight. <3

Book hunt

Ever since my sem break started, I have been into reading story books and have read about 10-12 books this holiday. Reading wasn't my favourite past time and I barely finish a story book (unless they are of short stories) but holiday alone, I surprised myself. In fact, I've been looking for more books to read. If only I feel the same for academic books which I really need to read for my dissertations.

Some of the good reads I've done:-

Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins

Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
The Boy No One Loved - Casey Watson (Looking for all her books) Damn sad stories but it keeps me reading more!
A Walk To Remember - Nicholas Sparks
Last Lecture
The Best of Me - Nicholas Sparks

Anyways, want I really wanted to blog about is that my mother and boyfie brought me out on a beautiful Saturday (when my student cancelled a class and I got a Saturday to myself). We went to Queens street for breakfast and look around for some of my Sunday School stuff. Then we went to Chulia Street where the mother brought me to a friend's shop to buy some 2nd hand book. Finished the two books within a week.

After that, we went for a small snack at Eco Cafe or something. Love the juices. Went to GM Stationaries to grab more stuff for Sunday School before heading home and then went through a whole lot of running around trying to get things done in church. What was supposed to be a day to unwind ended up to be the busiest of the lot.

I can haz lights on my head

The pizza. RM19 (not cheap at all but the smell of cheese tempted us in)

The mother. <3

Us reading while waiting for our food.

Fresh Orange Juice

The boyfie with beautiful eyes.

Basically they are my two drivers who drives me around all the time to places I want to go but unable to go on my own. Mad love them.
