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!!!
