26.11.10

Last night I was hoping to play badminton at a "free" badminton court in Hokkien Association Hall. Well the court is opened every Friday night for Hokkien Association members to play for free. It's been a long time I didn't practise my skill so I decided to go for it.


However when I reached there, I was surprised to see what's going on.

The court was full of books!! O.O

Then I realised...it must have been rented by some business people to open a book fair. Ahhhh~ it ruined my plan~ T.T So I ended up reading books instead of playing badminton. =/

I was in depressed mood when suddenly something caught my eyes...

It was 九把刀Giddens book!! OMG

-楼下的房客-

I've been in love with Giddens' style of writing ever since I first read one of his books back in college. It was my roommate who recommended me to read it. She is a big fan of him. Thanks to her for lending me the book. ^ ^ Then I remembered she told me 楼下的房客(Apartments For Rent) is very nice. Can say it's epic lol.

And now the book was in front of me. Opened up an opportunity for me to buy it. But I didn't. Cos I think the price was quite expensive. I remembered my roommate bought it at RM10 only and this one costs RM20. That's doubled the price. So it's not worth for me to buy even though I really wish to own it. Then I told myself that I can always read it online. But reading online is different than reading the book itself. Reading the book always feels better. But I still made up my mind not to waste my money in this and I believe I won't regret it. =)

-a clearer view of 楼下的房客-

Although I didn't have the book, I got myself a new pair of Adidas sport shoes last night. Whee~ Guess what? I only bought it at a price of RM29.90!! It's damn cheap for the brand rite? Hahaha. Well I don't know why it's that cheap. Maybe it's a fake one, who knows? =P But it's very comfortable to wear and I am damn satisfied. xD

-the black thingy is my guitar bag-

The black part of the shoes is navy actually.
Anyway, let's hope I can get to play badminton next Friday night. =)
