The Book Fest started on the 26th of July and this is like the first time I went on its first day. So called to avoid the crowd but in the end there's still a lot of people.... But in the end.. I bought nothing. Nada. 0 books. So I paid the entrance fee of RM2.50 to walk in and walk out to window shop and bought nothing. For the first time I bought nothing from this particular book fest. I was suppose to use up them darn book vouchers. On a brighter note, I found Born To Rebel at Kinokuniya! And it was the last copy. I sorta regret not buying it immediately cause I ended up going all the way to KLCC again just to use up the vouchers on the 31st....... Urgh. It was annoying and tiring and utter bullshit! That was what I thought until the day itself of course since I didn't need to take the public transport on the 31st when I went. Hehehehehe.
I love walking into Kinokuniya and get immersed in the scent of books! Books everywhere! Ahhhh~ (major grammar error I know) Unfortunately I get sad every time I flip the books over and saw the price tags. When planning on what books to buy with the book vouchers, the first book I got my hands on when I walked in was Born To Rebel. It was really really hard to use up the rest of the vouchers cause I didn't know what other books to buy.. Was planning to buy The Fault in Our Stars but... It was out of stock....... It wasn't on the 26th but oh well. In the end I bought Born To Rebel, Sherlock The Casebook and The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug - Visual Companion. There goes all RM200 book vouchers + some additional cash.
The End :P

Recap I
A recap of some less boring days of the past week. Yep. It's boring everyday!
Last week, out of boredom, I decided to pick up the masks I won from Jessica Chaw's blog from Nuffnang (like finally!). I was pretty busy at the end of April so I didn't manage to pick 'em up until last Thursday. Going all the way to Nuffnang's office in KL just for the masks and returning home seemed plain and boring so I decided to head down to KLCC for some Humble Beginnings' Mille Crepe ♥ Traveled back and forth by LRT and realized it's actually pretty expensive to travel the way I did! Stopping at Nuffnang's office before heading to KLCC made me spent an extra 2.50! (I know it's not a lot but when it comes to travelling by LRT, it's pretty expensive when it's just two stops away!)
When I reached the Heritage House building, I walked straight into the elevator cause I'm lazy to register with the guard. BUT! I forgot which floor Nuffnang's office is on.... I stopped on random floors and got out of the elevator twice before finally loading the address on my phone and realize it's actually the 12B floor. While waiting for the staff to get me my masks, I looked around and noticed the decorations in the office changed. When the staff handed me my masks, I got stunned for a second cause it wasn't what I thought it would be. Oh well. At least I got some free masks.
When I reached KLCC, I headed up to Humble Beginnings to check out the cakes~ Went up to Kinokuniya and pretty much wanted every book I laid my eyes on!! All the books! Such amount of books! Unfortunately I can never afford to get all of them... :( After spending some time flipping books in Kinokuniya, I went back down to Humble Beginnings to buy some Mille Crepe~ I wanted to eat at least a piece of it there but the food court is always full so I decided to enjoy them at home instead. I bought myself a pretzel from Auntie Anne before leaving KLCC for home~ Originally I planned to spend a longer time at KLCC but I ran out of things to do and went home early. Skipping Chatime's 3pm-6pm promotion.

The Mille Crepe from Humble Beginnings was heavenly ! ♥ Wish their shop is closer so I could have at least a piece a week!

Some details probably left out. Brain half asleep. Ciao! I'll leave it at Thursday for now.

Last week of March
March is coming to an end!!! Well that doesn't concern me much but the final project committee has decided to move our final project deadline forward. Like wow now the deadline is 26th of April. Okay back to some happier stuff. Went to the Big Bad Wolf Box Sale with Ch_ee yesterday (Thursday). Soon after leaving my house I realized I didn't bring my camera along.... I wanted to do my assignment but I forgot wtf!! Wasted opportunity!! We took public transportation this time. The weather was so freaking hot! We took two trains (different lines) before finally reaching somewhere near the venue. We decided to take the mini cruise thingy cause we were too lazy to walk from the station to the venue under the freaking hot sun! The river stinks!!! Urgh ~____~ The first kiosk I saw when the boat was docking was 6 Celcius. I went "SHIT" immediately cause I don't wanna bump into someone I might know there. I knew that kiosk is inside The Mines but didn't expect to see it right at the exit of the boat cruise. Luckily that person isn't there *phew* maybe he quit meh who cares.
We went to box sale after having our brunch at Subway~ Ch_ee took forever to fill in like 70%~80% of the box and gave up book hunting. I told her noooo there's still so much space!! And I filled the remaining box space with random books c: Random books like Sudoku and ___ for Dummies. There's still some space left but we were lazy already. But hey I get like 6 free books? Not bad c: Gosh the box was so darn heavy! We took turns to carry the box from the venue to back to the cruise, then back to the train station. We missed the first train that arrived and had to wait for about another hour. We saw other girls with boxes like us too! And they could run while carrying the box wtf like it wasn't even heavy at all for them? When we reached the station where Ch_ee parked her car, I decided to wait by the bus stop while she go get her car. Save our arms from another 10 minutes of box carrying under the hot sun! It was 4-ish and still mega hot!
We went to IOI Mall to get some Chatime drinks cause we ran out of water (since 2 hours ago lol) and there was this "2nd cup at RM1" promotion so why not c: Went to Popular as well for Ch_ee to use up her remaining BB1M vouchers. It rained heavily when we were done. Couldn't get my books out of the car due to the heavy rain. My books are still with Ch_ee for now. I barely slept the night before so I ended being really exhausted and fell asleep right away when it's bed time! I haven't been able to fall asleep immediately for a while okay! Tired but fun in a way.
- - - - -
Back to today! I woke at 4pm. Yep that's right. 4-P-M. About 14 hours of sleep. Yumms! I skipped breakfast (obviously). And lunch too today! My first meal was at about 5pm (tea-time)! Dragged my first meal of the day cause I was doing other stuffs. My prize from KLIPS arrived! I stared at the parcel and couldn't figure out what I won cause they never told me. All they told me was I won something. I was shocked and happy when I pulled the wheel-shaped case out of the box cause I at that moment I realized it could be a tool kit! And voila it is! It was a Need For Speed movie merchandise contest and I got the heaviest (literally) prize! Need For Speed Tool Set mmm nice name c: I won another took kit set last year! A Escape Plan themed tool kit set by GSC Movies. I never got to use it! So I don't know when will I ever be able to use this tool kit set.
When it was 7pm, me and sis sent our bro to his NS steamboat gathering. Had to fetch two of his female friends and another male friend which got sorta lost on his way here. The venue is like 5 mins drive from our house and we took about at least half an hour to send them there. Went home to pick up mom for dinner! Where did we have our dinner? Amelio at Setia Walk! (YES AGAIN I KNOW LOL) This time I could order sets and drinks cause my mom is paying :x Hoorah this time around the mashed potatoes (yes we ordered this again too lol) were in perfect shape! Not the flallen ones like the last time I came! Ordered one of the spaghetti set which comes with tomato soup and a creme brulee for dessert! Yums! Mom ordered roasted chicken with black pepper sauce or something. I can never remember the names of food... For drinks I ordered a Lemon Yogurt (ice blended sorts), mom ordered Fresh Honey Lemon (or something I can't remember the name) while sis ordered some Espresso with Pudding in it. (I know I made the drinks sound weird cause I can never remember their names x-x) I forgot to snap photos of the name of the things we ordered from the menu... Bahhh!!
As we were waiting for our bill, I pointed at MA, telling mom this was the guy that was working with me at that steamboat place. He was the first person to leave (among the 3). Told mom of course he recognizes me when she asked me whether he recognizes me. (I generally hates how I recognize everyone when none of them recognizes me) (did I even get that right) Went to buy Captain America : Winter Soldier movie tickets for tomorrow morning's screening after we left Amelio and before we left Setia Walk. Spent the remaining of the night idling, neopets-ing, watching drama and writing this post.

I realize my posts never really make sense but meh it's for me to write. Like a diary entry. As long as I write down the bits and pieces that I do not wish to forget, I'm fine.

OH I forgot to mention! Sis dyed her hair last Sunday! I'm planning to dye mine soon too! c: Not planning to tell anyone yet. (direct family excluded!) No one reads this blog so it's fine to write it here! I'm planning on getting something purple+red! Dark purple much yums! If getting purple base with red ombre cost extra, I'm gonna stick to purple! Cause I love purple more! c: Still doing some research on colors~ And I need to get my IC done before I can dye my hair ♥ Unless the stylist tells me purple doesn't suit me, I'm not gonna bother bout other people's comments! Cause it's my hair! Mom is okay with it so that's that! She was against sis dying her hair for like 3 secs? lol so she can't really say no to me getting mine dyed! Might have to change how I dress to flaunt my hair more c: Nope no one's forcing me to, I just wanna change and getting my hair dyed motivates me! Happy days coming soon! ♥

Tuesday classes.
There's class on Tuesdays~ Thanks to last Friday, I was sorta looking forward to going to class~ butttt it's for the sake of chit chat sessions :D They weren't there when I reached D: Apparently they went over the other building to find some lecturers to ask about some stuffs. When they came back, hurrr our chit chat session starts~ I passed Harry a buy one free one voucher from Subway since he seemed to really love eating at Subway~
First was to listen to some complaints.. Harry started doing his presentation preparations. We chatted a little while he was researching stuff~ hurhurhur was I happy :3 We had some dried seaweed for snacks~ I kept bugging Harry to eat at least a piece of it x) Later on some of us went to buy Shihlin's Sweet Potato Fries thingy and hot Chatime drinks :D Hot Hazelnut Chocolate ish yummeh ❤
Went back to class and we ate and drink in class xD It's funny to watch Harry eat cause he got 4 tooth extracted last Monday in preparation for braces XD He was complaining recently I kept posting photos of food while he couldn't really eat :P Later on he decided to eat sushi (while he can still chew) before getting his braces this Friday. So we left for sushiii!!~
I only ate a Chawanmushi and a plate of Inari~ While the others ate a lot o-o There's a Sushi Bonanza next week so I'm just waiting for next week to come before stuffing myself with tons of sushiii!! Can't wait! We left after sushi lunch~
- - - - -
It's my last semester in this college (graduating soon) and I just started liking going to class again.. I'm enjoying every chit chat session during class :) Yeap just the chit chat sessions cause I rarely get to chat with Harry :P We only started conversing about a year and a month again~ While with Joe Ee it's been less than a year! So yeah I enjoy every bit of it ❤

Earlier on I got myself another cut wound on my leg by the iPad USB cable and it started bleeding. I told mom : "Hey, mom look I got cut by a USB cable's pointy side and it started bleeding." Then my mom answered : "Oh then throw the USB cable away la!" in which I replied : "Okay! Then you don't need to charge your iPad already! :D"

I finally opened my parcel from Prestel Publishing! My beloved An English Room ❤ Really sad to see the sides of the book 'injured' :/ There was this bluish roundish item next to the book in the parcel. At first I thought it was a pen, then I thought it was a candle when I took it out. Read the paper attached with it and it seemed like it's candy?... It looks like our sticky candy but a larger version and has PRESTEL spelt on it. Then I thought : what's with people from UK with candies?... Cause TeeBusters sent me the tees I won with a lollipop too.. Baffled..
