Penguin Warehouse Sales Loot!


Gotten Gaiman new book, Graveyard Book for RM15!

Gotten M is for Magic for RM15? Or RM10? Can't remember but still cheap!

Gotten Kitchen Confidential for RM10!

Gotten both of Holly's Inbox and its sequel for RM15 each!

Gotten The Tales of Beedle the Bard for RM10!

Bought Little Women sequels for both books at RM10 each!

The other books I am a little less excited about but am truly interested in trying out Trudi Canavan Black Magician Trilogy. Got that at RM10 a piece.

This time at my husband insistence I brought along a shopping bag (the free cloth bag you usually get when you go out shopping) to put the books I want to buy there. When the bag feel heavy I know it is time to stop. Also going there a bit more sensible in trying to find books by authors I really like, and limiting the books I wanna try so I won't regret when I find myself reading books that are a bit 'meh'.

V. happy. At least I can cross off some of my book's wish list.

1. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
2. The Wolves in the Wall by Neil Gaiman (though this is because I can't find it)
3. M is for Magic by Neil Gaiman
4. Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman (yes, we detect a pattern here. But with the number 4, end the Neil Gaiman books that I want)
5. Holly's Inbox by Holly Denham. (And its sequel)
6. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame Smith.
7. Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
8. Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain
9. Comics: Fables Vol 5 (currently) by Bill Willingham and so forth
10. 1001 Tales of Arabian Night (In Kinokuniya this is selling for RM800++. Insane. But this is the 18th century unabridged one which also made for some painful reading).

Man. A lot that I had crossed off. Though, Fables is still ongoing so I never going to cross that off, and Persepolis I haven't finished reading yet because Borders is not stacking it anymore (Pbth! Ya think they're onto me now? ) and 1001 Tales of Arabian Night I kinda got with the classic edition of the compilation for some of the tales. Wow. Maybe I need some new list? Believe me that I had already started on that starting from Maud Hart Lovelace's on her Betsy-Tacy books.


Anyway, see this stack of books again and I think it is worth it.


Not pictured are 2 children's books I bought for my anak-anak buah and 1 recipe book. When queuing up to pay my husband looked at me and said "Buku-buku ni cukup setahun ok,". Geeezz. I promise to not buy any books for a year unless tetiba I found Matthew Reilly's new book that are selling cheap or Mary Janice Davidson vampire series that I am collecting or some really cheap authors from my wish list and Fables doesn't count. Hah!

You guys can still go there. The warehouse book sale is there till 11th Oct. Eyeris blog include a map on the location of the warehouse sale. Thank God I am going to KK the next weekend or I will be tempted to singgah there again.

Encyclopaedia (ejaan tu pon aku tataw betul ke idak), yg mcm Britannica nye tu ke? Susah nak cari tu. Itu kenkadang bole jumpa kat Flea market. Kalo brand new beratus-ratus.

Which part did you find the #2 and #3 of the Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan? I could only find #1 :( Going on Saturday again.
Dils said…
From the entrance, go to the left. Last time I went, its somewhere between the middle and back and the books instead of on the tables, it is stack up high on the platform. There were few of her titles there.

Not sure if they reorganize it the next day. Heh. Good luck finding it!

Aini and Zaki's Wedding

Promised the girls that we will attend Aini's wedding at Melaka on last Saturday, but at the last minute I changed the plan to go to Zaki's side of the wedding instead at Air Molek yesterday since on the same day there was also another kenduri potong jambul at my brother in law's kampung at Rembau. We manage to reach there around 15 mins after 1pm just before the pengantin berarak. Nice timing indeed. So alang-alang2 tu aku join je belakang rombongan pengantin masuk while my husband duk ambik-ambik gamba. Anyway the food was yummeh (sambal sotong!!! My Fav!) and the wedding is really traditional-like with gamelan music and silat. Aini looks really prettyyy and Zaki's sooo happy and jovial-like. Selamat Pengantin Baru to Aini and Zaki. The pic above is from my husband camera taken by tah sape and I will upload most of the remaining gambar kenduri in Facebook, sooner or later. Gamba kat Rembau tu, tanya Shamani die nak upload kat mana as the pics are at his camera too

Why does my heart cried Feelings I can't fight You betrayed me But just don't deceived me And please believe me when I say I love you [From the movie Moulin Rouge] And why didnt he? He's playing hot and cold.. hot and cold with me. I can't stand it. Yet I always come back for more. I am a true blue masochist. I don't even ask him to love me. I just ask him to miss me. And he couldnt even do that.. or say it. I just want to see his face once more. To see his lovely smiles, his small laugh. Why couldn't I forget him. When he could so easily dismissed me.. he could just easily come back and messed my sense and sensibility. While my tears fall down to my keyboard, yet at the same time I was making jokes and soothing him telling him "no worries". I don't ask for much... a smile, a pat on the hand. I miss him so much. Yet I am so afraid to let it shows. Becoz then if I show it... it will hurt 10 times more.
