All Hail The Holidays

As said, exam is over and all hell broke loose. Ever since the first day of holidays, I haven't found some proper time to settle down and relax.

I think I'll start where I left off.

Exams were a blunder. I did study for it, I was confident I could do it, but I doubt my marks will show it. Just when you thought exams sucked, I turned 17 this year on an exam day yet again which makes it twice the sucky. But then again, though it was silent, it was rather a memorable one.



Alot happen since then. Teacher's day came up, we almost kicked the teachers to an all out goal in football, I almost went blind, passed my driver's highway code exam, went partying whole day and night, had LOADS of krispy kreme and the list goes on



Do notice that I didn't mention anything about opening a book. Some student I am, if this goes on I can kiss my SPM goodbye.

In Need Of Motivation!

Just 30 minutes ago, I promised myself I would head straight to the books and here I am blogging about how pathetically low willed I am.

I can't even spend 2 minutes on the book without going rancid. Exam's near and I haven't even touch a book. There goes my SPM.

Someone just shoot me.

MPH Warehouse Sale

I'm taking a day off studying since it's labour day. Though a student is not a labourer, but it's a kind of occupation



As a student, our job is to study and to gain knowledge from many sources and therefore that's exactly what I did on labours day. It sucks that students don't really have a day off.

I went down to the MPH warehouse sale at seksyen 13,



There was this book I wanted to get, but to no prevail till this very day. Since it's labours day, why don't I spend some time with books and what better way to get a book than a distributors warehouse sale.



But I came home disappointed. For one, I couldn't find the book I was looking for. Secondly, the books there were in bad condition and thirdly, not all the books are cheap.

The prices fluctuates even though it's the same book with the same coverings. For example, I find The Children of Hurin for RM19.90, later on I see the same book for RM25 and RM57.

At the end of the day the total price of all the books including my sister's was RM284!!! I'm never bringing my sister to a book fair ever again.

The one thing that annoys me very much every time I step into a bookshop is seeing this book gigantically piled and arranged everywhere till it becomes an eyesore.



Everywhere I go, I can't escape from it. It's as if they're stalking me and everytime I lay eyes on it, It feels like my eyes are burning from seeing a hideous womanizer vampire(pun intended). I for one hate this book no matter how many people out there loves it.

Eventhough I didn't find the book I was looking for, I did find an interesting book.



It's about time I take my piano seriously and I found just the book for it. All this year, I've been playing but yet, I still don't know how to read the notes.



Not to mention it comes with a tutorial CD. Just the thing for lazy bums like me who would fall asleep as soon as it becomes a hassle to read.

Hopefully with this, I'll be able to play better and spend less time listening to the song over and over again just to get the tune.

Since I'm in a good mood today,



*Enjoy*

P.S.- Anyone knows where I can get a copy of Inkheart (hardcover)?
