BookFest! Woohoo!!

The crowd was unimaginable I tell you. It's like Cheras Taman Connought Night Market, only it wasn't Taman Connought, it wasn't at night, and it wasn't a market. Uh, yea, I suppose that was pretty clear? It was the BookFest in KL Convention Centre.

The photo above isn't really translating the magnitude of the crowd. (Magnitude?) See if I were to take in the crowd as it was, which obviously I couldn't, but to best capture it, I would have to hold my camera phone high above the crowd - which is not something that I will ever do. It draws too much attention. And this was outside the exhibition halls, mind you. In there in the halls, it's Connought Scenario at it's worst. Well, I might be exaggerating a bit, but it was really packed up. There were so many people queuing up to pay that I managed to finish off a Sudoku on my iPod while waiting in line. I was actually a bit touched to be able to fight alongside my fellow comrade of bookaholics on our way to nirvana. Ah, bliss of life. They had quite some great bargain books over there. For those who have not been there yet, you should go. For those who haven't been there and won't be able to or read this post after 4th September, well, too bad. XD

And the crowd wasn't just there at the convention centre. It was everywhere in the shopping complex too! You have no idea how much perils I had to endure to get to the top, where Kinokuniya was. I felt as if I was climbing Batu Caves, and every step brought me closer to my House of God. Didn't you other people have better places to go other than where I wanted to go? Worshiper goes first don't you know. Argh, the nerve of you people...

Anyway, all in all, it was a great day!!!

Like, Real Random.

These are the photos that I wanted to share for the past few months but failed to do so. =)

The bunnies from my childhood. Not mine though.

I want a library like this, with books filling up every nook and corner, sunlight streaming in at just the right angle.

Ah! Tintin!! I suppose I've read every single one of them here.

The Stinky Toufu! Yeah baby!

I'm missing my dog... <3

I want to bask in the sun too!!!!!

The Couch and I. Only.

Read this article quite some time ago about possessions and love. Thought of it again when I saw this picture that I've captured. Quoting a line from the article, 'people who feel loved and accepted by others place lower monetary values on material possessions than folks who feel insecure and unloved.'

Well, I sure value my books more than others do. And I can't stop buying. Does that mean that I feel insecure and unloved? Hmm....

Maybe, just maybe, I should find someone to fill up that empty couch across me. In the meantime, my beloved books shall continue to nurture the part of me that is 'unloved'. XD

Soya at Starbucks!

Yup, it's not about the coffee. I had the Chocolate Soy Frappuccino. Finally!! SOYA RULES!!!

Spent a nice afternoon the other day in Starbucks reading Bad Dogs Have More Fun by John Grogan. Ah, my favourite author.

Thanks Thomas

It's the Ghost Month. There have been stories. Unfortunately, my sis who works in ICU unknowingly offended Someone. She hasn't been feeling well. Now she's back in Malacca, I'm all alone in the room we share. Lying on my bed staring pointlessly at the brightly lit room, I take a moment to thank Thomas Edison.
