hey peepz. nothing to do. so blog. for the fun of it. see what comes out of this vacant mind of mine.
its the start of my so called 3rd week of the holidays. and the routine is getting to me.
went to kinokuniya yesterday! they were having this 2o percent sale!!! ooo hoo!!! i am sorry to say, but events like this, get me excited. i was so bent on going to kino after training. in the end, only alex went with me. cos he had work at novena later. but i think we were so shack, that we only walked about for while, before we went to the sixth floor, sat on the bench and promptly fell asleep. well, the guy was going to stand on his feet for 6 hours. he needed the all the rest he could get. and so, after we woke up, and he left, i went back to kino to look at the possibilities. in the end, i stood at my favourite section, the "self-enrichment" section, and took up some books to read through them. it was quite tough reading the books, because one, it was directly beside the children's section, and two, i did not want to sit and block the passageways.
the children were hediously noisy. child after child that passed me were either bawling and crying for something they wanted but their parents refused, or zipping past me on their roller shoes, or just simply making a ruckus. why could they not be more considerate for people who would like to just enjoy a simple book.
anyway, so i stood there by the shelf, and speed read these two books on speed reading (how ironic). well, at the end of the day, i dun think i really remembered much. but if there is anything i remembered, is that the only way to improve your reading speed, is really to consciously practice them, and read, read, read!
after that, i walked around the place contemplating books i thought of buying. but there were simply sooooo many books i wanted to buy. it was 20 percent! oh gosh, how could i miss such golden opportunities. the next time kino will have a 20 percent sale is probably in the christmas season. they only hold such offers twice or thrice a year. ah well...
so in the end, i did not buy any books. i am just waiting for the mph book sale this weekend at expo!!!! oh, for the love of god... the books, on bargains... either 6, 8 or 10 dollars. the only down side, is that the books aint exactly current ones, or bestsellers. most of them are unwanted books to be sold quickly. however, there are many many good books, that they seem to have overlooks and placed them within the pile. many good books, i bought at bargain prices. like the tipping point by malcolm gladwell, the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, the lord of the rings, and books by harold bloom. oh my gosh. wow. i feel so lucky. unfortunately to date, the only book i have read is the tipping point. the rest, like i mentioned are still within the confines of my book shelf, waiting to be read, while i go on hunting for more books. they have been bought over, but neglected and left on the shelf. i am such a hearless bastard.
i will read them. soon.
okie. its time to go to bed. need to wake up at 6 am tomorrow to go for another, hopefully fruitful, and enjoying training session at kallang.
ciao!
