investment

i saw the ad on harian metro dated bile ntah, so i twitted (or is it tweeted?) 'bt it. i wanted to bring ahmad nani, big bad wolf sale was quite an experience for him (we went twice & i became poorer by almost 400 then. but we were ecstatic!)

aunty kay went & tweeted (or is it twitted??) that it's worth going so biasa lah, gud things MUST be shared kan... we planned to go 2gether on saturday (to day lah). we were supposed to meet up s'where & go to the sale 2gether but i had my 1st swimmg lesson that ended later than expected. so it was a chain reaction - i was late --> we went to fetch auntie dd & k1 late --> we arrived @ subang late. sian auntie kay & ajib berakar tgu kiteorg. sudahnye the didnt get to go to the sale wit us sbb ajib had his 1st taekwando session la pulak...

deco o ostrich yg the boys sempat abused! mummy cuak kot it breaks, jwb!!!

the sale was at subang avenue's ground floor. plentiful books o all sorts. children books collection is extensive, as well as novels but not many notable authors were seen. books are priced at as low as RM 1, & the most expensive are around RM 15 ke if i'm not mistaken. their stationery corner is also very inviting, i was all itched to get those colourful sets of pens or watever super cute stuff sold there.

aft 'bt 1++ hour riffling thru, these r wat we brought home :)

not many famous author but i wudnt miss these. wanted to buy 'the last empress' @ BBW tp was unsure, got it confused wit 'the empress orchid' wic i have read. & i even bought 'pearl o china' too. RM 10 each (they r the bigger size o novels. normal-sized novels cost RM 8 each).

was actually looking for deco books, but nowhere in sight. i got myself tis book. i've always loved cactus. i've started planting them again but 2 plants have died. sayang je. now i'm itched to have another trip to cameron hiland to get some more of them. RM 20

it's a book that teaches u to build your own deco lamp. nice huh? and for RM 5, it's even nicer!

some art books - 'modernism & abstraction', 'the figure in watercolor'. RM 10 each.

there r many tie-in books. i was contemplating to get some but then i put them back. i only bought tis for my nephew. RM 8

i was determined not to be greedy & not to be tempted by any cook books. the ones i got @ BBW have remained literally untouched since they were put on the shelves. balik2 aku msk asam pds, msk lemak, asam pds, msk lemak. but these come wit RM 1 tag. only RM 1. u kidding me??? fyi, i've put on so much weight that i cant fit into most o my clothes :( mari lah mengamalkn cara memasak + cara mkn yg btul. i got muself ' low-fat, healthy heart food, low cholesterol, detox, low GI & fit food. and all for only RM 6.

mat kecik only requested me to get him tis. it's an organiser for kids, ade stickers bagai. RM 3

luckily auntie dd bought tis for k1, if not x perasan jwbnye. it's magic colour wit self-inked stamps on the tips of its cap. super cute! i bet it's gonna come handy nnt ni. RM 12

dhani had a set of tis maped colour that we bought @ bandung in 2009 kot. compared to other brands like steadtler luna, stabilo swan or faber-castell, the colour pencils produce much better results wen applied. i thot it's nolt sold here, rupenye ade. i bought 2 sets: 1 for dhani, 1 for mikhail.

last but not least, i just had to buy tis. it's only RM 5. dont ask me why, flipping thru, i just fell in love wit the presentation o the contents :)

the boys yg dh tdo. sure penat.

* mcm nk pegi lagi la. td i flipped thru 'diana's fashion & styles' and also 'madonna in art' & tingat smpai la ni... uhuhuuu.
