Stay hungry, Stay foolish
RIP Steve Jobs.

As you all know, exams are approaching faster than you can spew out any one of your favourite profanities. With that being said, you know why I haven't been updating this ol' blog of mine as frequently as I would like. I have been working hard, absorbing as much information as my under worked brain could take, trying to make up for lost time. Ahhh... those beautiful days, playing under the sun and taking naps when it rains, a bag of chips in front of the miracle boredom killer box called the television, going through blogs while the hours go by like no body's business with all the other school related books, ignored.
After hours spent trying to figure out how to not fail (yes, I regret not starting earlier, just like all the other times. But I never learn), my dad, after reading the recent article on how stressed out teenagers are these days and how some even suffers from severe depression, insist that I take a breather and not go insane. He told me about the upcoming book fair (this was a couple of days ago), and his plans to drop me off there with a gold card to get anything I want, how many I want, no questions asked.
So off we went this morning, to the
Big Bad Wolf Book Sales 2011. I admit that at first I was a little sceptical about the amount of books and titles they're going to sell. 1.5 million is no small number and it is said to be going for only RM 8-25, unbelievable much, so imagine my surprise when I walked through the doors.There it is, a seemingly endless rows of plastic bound books (and people!), all neatly arranged according to its genre and it really is eight to twenty five bucks. Gosh, the scent of ink and paper, heaven on earth much?
Fast forward to the end, i got myself a stack of (not many, just expensive) books that's worth more than $535.37. Yes, dollars. That's equivalent to a whooping RM1 690.70 for only RM 200. Yes, 200 ringgit. Yes, I'm a happy girl. And a happy bookworm. And a happy otaku. So maybe studying wasn't so bad after all...
