You know you're a geek when you...
Saturday, October 28, 2006
Get super excited when you see an advertisement regarding store-wide discounts at a mega book store. And then you march on down to the sale on the first day despite the fact that there are two days and despite the fact that you're feeling drowsy and feverish still from cold and sore throat. Yet your cells jostle inside of you excitedly when you see a large crowd browsing books all over the store and you wished you had saved up during the past few weeks just so you can finally splurge to your heart's content. And then when you're finally queueing up to pay after you've spent such a long time deciding what to get, you suddenly feel like buying somemore but remember too that the amount you have in your pocket can barely suffice the rest of the week/month after spending on what you're already going to buy.
Then at last when you have finally left the store, you feel damn good carrying a big bag of heavy books and feeling all empty in both your pockets, knowing that you have to eat books for the rest of the month.
And then you think to yourself in true blue geek fashion:
THIS IS WHAT A DAMN GEEK SHOULD FEEL.
Yup and if you replace all the 'you's with 'I's, that is me, the geek.
Oh and I forgot to add that the sale is today and tomorrow, 20% off at Kinokuniya for members only. And I am a member. Hehe.
Considering I have already spent so much on tickets to Notre Dame de Paris and Rockapella, I am almost sucked dry. But I just couldn't resist it. 20% off leh. Buy one book also
shuang.Anyway this is what I came back with:
1x Japanese-English Kodansha dictionary
1x Neil Gaiman's
Sandman the Absolute Volume 1 (for David's birthday)
I am amazed that I did not touch the manga collection. Maybe cos I knew that Gaiman's book would not allow me to buy anymore, not that I'm complaining.. cos I get to read it too hehe.
I also went to Marks & Spencer on the way to collect the car and came back with:
1x light blue short-sleeved shirt with very light stripes (for the dad's birthday tomorrow)
And now you can see why I'm really gonna be eating books for the rest of the month. Hur hur. All you people who owe me money, pay me back now! Haha, I'm just kidding. Just buy me
teh once in a while will be fine :p
