2010 Book Fest Goodies

2010 Book Fest Goodies

 
RM500++ worth of goodies from the recent BookFest @ Malaysia 2010!

I’m like still recovering from the daze; i mean how can we have spent RM500 all on books?! I could have easily got a new Fossil leather bag for the same price.

But can get tax rebate right? Ok, never mind, i feel much better now when i think about the tax rebate. Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out….
 


 

This year we had a great haul compared to last year which we only bout 2 sets of books. This year it was a bargain. Coincidently we bought equal amount (in height lar) of books.

See?
 


 

I didn’t know that the book fest is held from 4th Sept till 12 Sept 2010; i thought it ends in the weekend so we rushed there. It was worth it though. The ranges of English books were more than the previous years. There were bargain corners also where books were sold for only RM16.90. Awesome.

The boyfriend is a sucker for sets. He just can’t resist getting book sets. Obsessiveness is going to run in our family. Hmm…

Anyways he got 2 sets of books; one is the geeky set of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (5 in a set) and the other is a Chinese novel i don’t know what the title is (4 in a set). He also bought a stamp set for around RM150.

As for me, mine is the pile on the right. <3

Actually the books just cost us around RM400 if not for the stamp set that i don’t know why the bf absolutely must have. Never mind it’s his hard earn money so he is entitled to treat himself once in a while.

Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out…

BookFest 2009 Goodies

 
I’m really utterly frustrated today. It’s a small matter but i’m in a bad mood ever since this morning. I thought when i left that bank i’ll be rid of all the bad feng shui but it still haunts me apparently. I wonder if the same situation arised with another financial company i’ll be as short tempered as i am now. I think not.

I’ve dealt with enough problems that this bank had gave me and if it’s not because of my installment warrant a local card i would definitely had terminated all facilities with this company. Argh… as i said it’s a small matter, all i wanted was an explanation on why i’m charged an annual fees when my card is a free for life card with no terms and conditions whatsoever and also to reactivate my online account. So hard meh?! Yeah i know your system always down because i used to work there and i know you won’t get back to me until weeks later when it’s already useless or i’ve already forgotten. Really. Humpf!

This year’s BookFest was better than the last years’ because they have more English books and it’s much more organized. However, Mr. Bf begs to differ because he couldn’t find any Chinese books worth reading. Too bad for him haha.

Nonetheless, he was grinning from ear to ear after purchasing a RM160 China story book cum stamp book. Geek!

There’s a section of the hall selling China stamps mainly and he found this particular one that’s supposed to be a limited collection.

It’s a book with the chinese history of Water Margin and stamps to commemorate this event.

This particular stamp (below) was published on 1987. It’s supposed to be worth RM80 itself.

I’m really not bothered about China stamps really. I don’t know how to appreciate all those stuff haha.
