Orang tamak selalu rugi?


Total damage = RM 336
Here's the breakdown :
Jamie's Kitchen - hard cover = RM 25 (whatttt??)
Nigella Christmas - hard cover = RM 25 (another whattt???)
Spanish dictionary - hard cover = RM 15 (really??)
Window Treatment Design book = RM 10 (err......)
Various paperback novel + some hardcover novel = RM 8 x 22 books = RM 176 (you're kidding me???)
Kids boxset (4x3, Handy Manny, Winnie the Pooh, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) - hard cover = RM 70 (am running out of ???)
Some other stuffs = RM 3 x 5 = RM 15

Its still ongoing, go to Big Bad Wolf until this Sunday Oct 16. Honestly, I went berserk!! I was only quarter way through, but I was already carrying a box full of books. I ended up with the whole lot. This is considering I omitted looking further at cooking book section (guilt kicks in, as I keep on cooking the same dish, or worse I rarely cook nowadays) and they don't have my favorite John Grisham and Khaled Hosseini. I could not imagine the damage if those two writer's collection were there.

Most of the novel that I bought, I rarely know the writer, so I guess for RM 8 a book, I can afford to experiment ;)

p/s: this is not only for me, for my niece and nephew, my younger sis, my mom...(kenyataan bela diri!!)
