Today, instead of following my friends for a fun-filled time to Times Square, I had to settle for second best- Mid Valley. Yep, I mean nooo... I don't have anything against this wondeful mall but still, I'd rather be with you..guys. LoL =) So I went with my brother for a little bonding time, since he may be quite bummed out Manchester United lost to- whoever they lost to. Sooo...
By the way, Yann Martel is an awesome author. His novel, Life of Pi was such a dear I was hooked the first time I read it. Still was after the next three times. Thanks to Yi Wenn. So anyhoo, today I went to Border's and discovered his other novel Self. Like amg, I had to get it. The story was told in a way that reflected his own life. As I flipped through I realized that the last few pages were empty. It was the last copy so I couldn't decide if he deliberately did it (he has a knack of doing such things). And so, when I asked for help at the Help desk, they can't help me either. Bummer. And so I didn't buy it cuz I'm not much of a risk taker ;D big sigh- major disappointment. However, life goes on and I bought The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga who incidently, won The Man Booker Prize 2008 (Life of Pi was 2002).
When I got home, my mum surprises me with my favourite Ritter Sports chocolates and a couple of Belgian ones. She's not helping me much with my quest to lose 10 pounds. Thus I am currently experiencing what is known as Cognitive Dissonance.
Wow, could my life get any better?
