For the love of books

I was on my way home in my bus last Friday eve when I noticed a missed-call from one of the eGL team leaders. Apparently there were data from 2 dates that were due by Saturday eve. Alamak.... dah petang baru mau habaq ka??? :P So that meant I had no choice but to come to work on Saturday.

It took only a few mins for me to prepare the data... so what shall we do next?? Alang2 dah sampai KL... mesti lah nak buat plan lain kan... to make it worth the trip!! Kebetulan hubby read somewhere that there is a Book Fair going on at the KL Convention Center... so itu lah plan kami seterusnya!! :) Hubby dropped me at my office first that morning. Izzaty followed her dad whilst Izzat followed me to the office. An hour later... both Izzat and I left Menara Maybank and walked to the Masjid Jamek Station... singgah dulu kat Wisma Yakin to get Izzat's songkok raya :) Then naik lrt to KLCC :) Kesian Izzat... dah la demam on the previous day... kena lak ikut mama jalan jauh.... just to go to the Book Fest...

Lotsa booksss.... and lotsa people during the Book Fest!

Izzaty was hoping her fav writer, Ain Maisara would be there.... tapi since takde... ambil gambar ngan 'gambar' pun jadi la ek :)

This girl was having a hard time choosing books to buy... macam semua nak beli! :D

The Book Fest was fantastic! Lots of books with good price!! Macam nak beli lotsa bookssss!!! But I had to admit... lately, takde masa lah nak membaca nih... Kalau dulu boleh la membaca dlm kereta, bus or train... but nowadays, I found myself selalu fening kalau baca buku dlm bus... *sigh!*. I ended up buying only 2 books for myself....

Sophie Kinsella's latest book - Mini Shopaholic at the price of RM49.90 (Original price is RM69.90) and Tony Parson's Starting Over (buy 1 free one offer at the price of RM39.90. The free book was Hubby's choice of book.

Hubby's choices. Paul Sussman's The Last Secret of the Temple is the free book from the 'Buy 1 Get 1 Free' offer

Izzaty's

Izzat's

And lastly... we bought these English IDIOM books for reference purposes (I always want to know english idioms! And the kids would be able to use the books as well for their future reference). We also bought those punches for scrapbooking fun... (Izzaty and I both love scrapbooking! It's fun!!)


Kalau ikut hati... memang nak beli banyak. So many interesting books! Izzaty wanted to choose more books to read during the school holiday... but told her to get only 2 since budget raya mama ngan ayah limited... huhu :P

All in all... we spent RM268.15 for all those books and punches. Plus dapat buku resepi free (worth for RM29.90!). I thought that was very good bargain! Imagine... usually if we buy a travel book (Lonely planet, eyewitness, ect!)... satu buku je dah more than RM100!! Ni kami beli lotssss of books (with 3 travel books) for that price! Puas hati la babe... :)
