The Mall and Books

Yesterday after work and a quick lunch at home, we went to the new mall deemed as the biggest mall with all the things that you would want, all under one big roof. Though some part of the building is still under construction, a lot of shop yet to open, there were many people there already. Many shops are carrying branded stuff, even though advertising a sale going on, still expensive, for me anyway.

It's quite far from home, I don't think we would go there all the time (not that we go out that often). It was just a visit of sort, to see a new place, something like that. I wanted to go to Daiso, the Rm5.00 shop :D. Ehehee. We are weird I guess, because we entered the building, walked around, saw the expensive prices even with a sale going on, walked away, saw a sign showing the Giant store and made a beeline for it. I guess we are more comfortable with the familiar :). Bought several stuff there, such as 2 cartons of soya milk, a carton of strawberry yogurt, green tea, and lots of buns. Really bad way to start I think because then we or rather me had to carry those 3 cartons of liquids all over the place looking for Daiso!

But at last, we found it :D. Didn't want to drag those cartons into Daiso so gave them to Dad, and well Dad then 'volunteered' to stay outside of Daiso since Mum said we would be charged again for those stuff if we put it into the shopping basket. Oh well.

Back to Daiso, all the stuff there sold at RM5.00. Some stuff are cheap if at RM5.00 some are expensive at RM5.00. Still it was great, browsing the stuff there, bought some ie cat scratch carpet, a cat toy, a straw hat, a toothbrush (J punya), a kitchen sticker thingy and a vegetable loofah. Yeah...all these at RM 30.00. I paid. Oh well :).

We browse clothes too but it was all expensive so that was all we did, browse. And of course trying to find the way back to where we first came in. That place is huge and you could easily get lost. But we managed fine of course and went back home. That was all the end. Ehe.

Now for the books part. Well I started reading story books again, real books hehehe borrowed from the library. The first time after a long absence from reading I borrowed The Green Mile, Cockroach and a four-story-in-one-book, all Christmas love story :). Finished all 3 and oh how I love The Green Mile, both the movie and the book. Love it!

I saw the movie first then read the book and while I was reading, scenes from the movie would come up in my head and its like I can see what is really happening...ahahaha. Makes me want to watch the movie again. Oh but if I could read it again I would.

Cockroach was about a woman afraid, really afraid of cockroaches because of the abuse she had when she was still a child. Her awful dad would punish her with cockroaches, putting them on her long hair, or putting them inside her clothes, on her hands..it was abuse. So the story was this, a cockroach found its way into her apartment, and she spent the day, the whole day battling it out with the cockroach. She was so afraid that in the end she jumped out from her bathroom window (yeah I'm not so sure about this one, the bathroom window here at home is quite high). Her husband thought she jumped to escape being raped but well..if you want to know the story, look it up, title is Cockroach. Sorry I didn't write down the name of writer.

The third book was great too but it was like a shorten version of those 4 stories. It was a good read :).

I'm now with the next batch of borrowed books, all 3 books are detectives stories :) hehe. The first one is Scaredy Cat by Mark Billingham, the second is Bone Thief by Thomas O'Callaghan and last is Golden Age Detective Stories, by the masters of detective writing such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Jack London. I've read the first 2 books and wow really scary if those crimes really happened. Scaredy Cat is a serial killer who has a friend doing the same thing or rather forced to do the same thing and Bone Thief is a crazy man stealing women's' bones, their heads, hands and feet. Wow. Really scary. For the last book, I haven't started to read it yet, hopefully this week before I have to send it all back on Sunday.

Yay for books :D.
