Cheapo Skatepo

Assalamualaikum and hello all. :)

I had undergone a series of unfortunate events (ceh!) throughout this week,  from Monday till today, Friday. Never mind, those are just tests given by the Almighty. I hope I pass them with flying colours! :D

So today, I went to the MPH Book Fair at Sultan Ahmad Shah International Convention Centre.

There are lots and lots and lots of books with lots and lots and lots of discounts! 90%! I kid you not!

I was like Becky Bloomwood in sample sales. I clutched the handles of the red basket firmly and thus began the event of filling in the basket with books, books and more books!

Then I filtered my selection, taking into full consideration of whether I will really read those books in the future. Then I chose more books, filtered them again, and the whole process went on and on until I finally managed to come up with the final 7 books. 

Went to the cashier, a cheeky young man keyed in (?) the prices of those books. Dianna Wynne Jones' book actually belongs to the 10% discounts area! Pftttt!!!! So I decided not to take it. It was not in a good condition anyway. 

Anyway, when he had finished doing that, he declared "Altogether, it's RM 229.35!"

My eyes almost bulged out and I bent over to look at the computer. The young man grinned and continued

".....before discount!"

"Pheww!!!" I let out a huge sense of relief.

You know how much I paid for those books?

A freaking RM22.95!!! Discounts of RM206.42! It's crazy, I tell you!

I know you might think that those books that I bought are boring but hey I don't have much choices okay. Plus, they are freaking cheapo! You know how hard it was to find those books? All the books in the 90% discounts section were not arranged properly so you'll need a meticulous pair of eyes and a flexible neck! LOL.

I wanted to buy more but hey, don't be greedy! Jangan menzalimi buku-buku yang anda tidak akan baca! Mary Poppins said "Enough is as good as a feast!" 

The best find of the day goes to *drumroll*

Yupss!!! Hahaha. 

Okay, may peace be upon you and good day to all! (it's already 11.23 pm)
