books hUnting

to kick off my holiday, i went to chowrasta market the other day with a couple of friends. we've been planning to go like forever, but the plan have been on hold for two years [[talk about overdue]]. not that the place is very far away, somehow we can't find the right time to go.  so, finally we managed.  our main spot- the secondhand bookstore. hopefully i can find some books i've been hunting for quite some time.

we arrived at perangin mall quite early, and of course go makan-makan first.  then we started our hunt. we managed to sesat two times and on the way we got to see a moving advert for air asia...quite a scene i must say. these guys are serious to sell  [[and those ads must be heavy]]


after asking around, we finally got the right place. the bookstore stood all the way to the end of the market...and when i finally saw it, my jaws just dropped.

towers of books
as you can see, the books are stacks up to the ceiling [[wish i can stay here]]. books are just everywhere, all types of them.  from reader's digest to the bible, from kids story books to grown-ups, from thriller to romance... at first, i couldn't find any of the books im searching.  but then,just as we're about to walked away, my eyes suddenly saw something- Tunku Halim.  i practically dived to grab it [[been searching all over for it.  although he's a local author, his books are very hard to find]] to my delight, the store got three of them, but since i already bought a thriller novel, i can only afford two of Tunku Halim's [[if only i saw them earlier...sob3]].  i'll come by again and hopefully the 3rd book will still be there...

tunku halim and karin slaughter (an unknown writer to me)
 before we went home [[hostel to be accurate...]], we stop by at perangin mall for a while.  it's so hot outside, and we were drenched in sweat when we finally inside the air-con building. it was a blessed...after that,HOME [[nay...]] can't wait to read them [[book marathon]] 

the books hunter...me, irene and deff [[waka2]]
booky eyed,
