I'm a happy worm.

:PP
:))
:DD

It is quite an experience going to the booksale today.  Firstly, it is the first time i ever set feet at Mardi's MAEPS.  Yeah, kill me already.  After what, more than 5 years living nearby? Haha.  And it's also the first time i get to ride their cute shuttle and loving every bit of it.  The ride is breezy and at certain point, it does feel like i've been transported to another far away place.  Like, seriously.  MAEPS is nice-looking but it's indisputably flat and well, rather empty.   So it feels rather surreal when a place as flat can be chilly and breezy to some point.

Okay,
Initially, I wanted to go to the booksale way earlier than 10am but i refrain myself because i do not want to appear over-excited and too book-wanton in front of my colleagues.  No one in the office is really as excited as i am, to tell the truth. Therefore when i arrive there at approximately 15 past ten, there are already so many people.  I, being rather suprised and grief-stricken, can only shout vehemently in my heart, "Woi, korang ni xde umah ker??". Like, very vehemently. Tension ok.  They all wear "seluar katok" indicating that they're not working.  Motif, i ponteng. Ekeke.

Still I got to parked my car in the first line of the parking space provided, only to find that i have to wait for the shuttle anyway to be taken to the hall, which, makes the berebut for first line parking spot rather pointless. Chet.  I do not have to wait long anyway.  The shuttles appear every 5 minutes from up the hill and i am all a-smiling seeing them shuttles been painted according to the animal, vegetable or flower they've been named after.  Like shuttle "Ikan" is painted all with cartoonish fishes.  They also have shuttle "Seladang", "Ziraffah" and "Burung Unta".   How cute is that? :D

I got to hop on one "Bunga Raya" shuttle.

Meet shuttle Nenas & shuttle Cili Padi.
Flat x? Flat x?!  Kalah KLIA.

Velcome! Velcome!

Although there are many people but the hall isnt crowded, which makes the book-hunting easy and convenient.  God knows that the MAEP hall is one gigantic place that i feel like my arms can get dislocated browsing around while carrying the books that i have chosen.  No wonder many bring trolley pasar malam. And the books, whoa.. i feel like buying all 1.5 millions of them.  There are some that i dont really fancy, but the idea of having so much book is just delicious.  Lazzat.  Period.


Kelazzatan.

The part that is not so lazzat.  The queing to the cashier part. At this point i have also bersila on the floor. Ada yg siap bawa bekal & berkelah. I am beyond famished at this point.

One of my famous purchases.

This much is all i manage to carry.  12 books altogether.  Thanks to my sanity and conscience that still managed to whisper i have but 2 hands. Lest i'll end up buying more.  Ni pon dah senget bahu berator. But 12 in one go is still the most i've ever bought in my books-buying record.  Like ever. So a tap on my back.
Before (vain n minta penampar. Biasa ni self-snap dlm toilet)

After (penat complete dgn effect dark circle).

Till another 12 books next week. 
Bye nk blk bc buku. membaca jambatan ilmu.
