Wednesday was a state holiday (Selangor) and while hubby dearest went to work early in the morning, I slept in :-) I did have some errands in KLCC so i meet up with him later in the afternoon.
He had a meeting at 5pm so i had about 2hrs to spare. I did try to do a normal girly gal thing: window shopping at parkson, Isetan and Vincci, but I just couldn't find anything that I really liked! I decided to have a cup of coffee at my favorite coffee place, StarBucks. Of course, when alone, a coffee without a book just seems soooooo boring! I decided to buy myself a book first from Kinokuniya.
My thoughts as I walked around:"What book would be interesting? hmmm.... Pillar's of the earth? I saw that on Opera the other day. Seems so interesting! Thick enough to last me a couple of holidays as well.... ok... let's get that."
Walking a little further and saw this book "The 5 people you meet in Heaven"
"hmmmm..... Kelly was recommending this highly! I read Mitch Albom's other book "Tuesdays with Morrie" and that was amazing. I'm sure this would be just as good!
Picked up the book and walked further:
"Since I'm here, I wonder if they have the other book recommended by Opera... I think I need a self improvement book anyway. Oh... Mr Mano also recommended it. Let me ask someone if they have the book"
Crystal: Do you have the book 'A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose'?"
Gal @ counter: Yes :-) We do.
Crystal: Thank You!!!
Crystal thinking after getting the book:"RM39.75? hmmm.... not too bad! Wonder if they have a discount? hehhehee....."
As I walk to the counter, I notice a book "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus""hmmmmm.... I always wanted to read this book! Even Tania emailed me about it once years ago! ok... I'm getting it"
I walked out with 4 books!!! Just to have a coffee alone in StarBucks! hayoooo......!!! For someone who hated reading, I have to say marriage did change me.... It made me read... and I'm enjoying it!!! My Literature teacher (Ms Fu) would have been so proud!
I suddenly felt like a girly gal cos I spent that much (RM126) at one go! But on books? hehehheeee.... at least I know it's not wasted. I bought GOOD books at discounted prices and I know I'll read it :-) Also, if anyone wants to borrow them, let me know!
Have a great weekend!
