Unexpected Saturday

Woke up at 6.30 a.m. as I had my last * read it carefully LAST * Year 5 extra class for this year. Phew~The class was at 9 o'clock but I need to clear my laundry basket and clean my house a little bit here and there.  And the stressful of washing the kitchen rendered me to go out from the house and have fun. Actually I'd been waiting for a VIP "invitation" from my Mr. Right but he just remained silence until..............................I'd made up my mind to hang around with my long *not that long. 4 years actually * lost friends, Ida and Kak Fiena. 

When I texted him, telling him that I wanna park my baby at his place, he asked me why. Then I explained that Ida was from Shah Alam so it's quite far for her to go to Gombak and fetch me there. Nak ke Serdang lagi. Of course jauh kan. I just don't wanna burden her. However, like always, he remained silence. So as I'd parked my baby and jumped into Ida's car, I texted him again. Telling him that my baby was already in front of his house and I was heading to Serdang. He called me and said "ala....baby nak gi Serdang ke? baru ingat nak ajak tengok wayang..." What??? Memang la cliche betul. I was waiting for his date since yesterday tapi the moment I dah naik kereta, baru cakap. So sorry la. No turning back. Besides, books also can make me go insane instead of him.

The journey to the Big Bad Wolf Book Fair was quite adventure. First, we lost our way and nearly made ourselves to Banting. Then Ida took me to a "sightseeing" in Putrajaya. And when we arrived at the destination, rains poured down heavily. When I said heavily, then it's real heavily. So we just stay in the car for a while as Ida said "Pukul 5 nanti tak hujan" and she was right. It's still raining but not that heavily. Boleh la nak jalan kaki ke hall tu kan. Sampai je dalam hall tu I was amazed by all the cheap books!! All of the novels' price start at RM5 to RM8. Even New Moon also 8 bucks. Maunya tak gila kan........Seriously I went insane in that particular hall. Sampai tak tahu nak beli buku apa. Looking at my financial status recently, I have a very limited wherewithal to spend. So must make sure that my spend was still reasonable. What I bought at the fair:

1) Biography of John Lennon. My Mr. Right is so one of his fans. So I thought of buying him this one as his second birthday present. The illustrated biography was so affordable. Usually the price of this kind of book will reached until 80 to maybe 100 bucks. But I bought it for only 20 bucks. Gilaaa. No picture for the book as I'd already gave it to him masa ambil kereta dekat rumah beliau.

2) Shopaholic Takes Manhattan and Shopaholic Ties the Knot. The story of universally beloved shopaholic idol, Becky Bloomwood. Already read the story so many times before but still want to buy it for my collections. Besides, it was only 8 bucks each. =)

3) For One More Day. Like I mentioned before Mitch Albom is one of my favourite author. Been looking for a sale to buy this novel since last year. And yesterday I got it for only 8 bucks. But I couldn't find the rest of his novels. kalau ada, memang dah beli dah buat collection. *phew~nasib baik takde. Kalau tak, dah abes duit I. tett!!

That's it. I couldn't spend more. Have to remember buying my baby Titine's birthday present next week. Haih~ 

Oh, I nearly forgot. Mr. Right bagi I kain ela semalam. So wajib buat lawatan sosial ke tailor Isnin nanti.

He likes it when I wear cotton baju kurung, which explains 80% of my baju kurung collections in my shabby wardrobe are cotton. Cantik sayang. But it's yellow! huuu. I asked him why yellow. And he answered "Biasalah. Bersih 2.0 kan.." Ambik kau. hahahaha. Anyways, thanks sayang. Again and again. Pandai sayang pilih corak kain kan. Hugs!

My Saturday was marvelous. Happy sebab dah lama tak jumpa Kak Fiena and Ida. Happy sebab dapat collection buku. Happy sebab dapat jumpa Mr. Right even only for 10 minutes. Happy dapat collection baju kurung cotton. I'm utterly happy. Dah lama tak borak dengan Kak Fiena and Ida. And thanks Ida for the Satay treat. Next time will treat you and Kak Fiena. =)

Footnote: I better get myself a book shelf.

Hugs and kisses,
