Book Clearance Sale
Posted on June 30, 2007
Went to Atria yesterday looking for the “Pay Less Books” shop to find a potential “Beading and Craft” Book.
Found out that “Pay Less Books” went under and isn’t there anymore so decided to go to the top floor bookshop and look. Decided that it’s more of a stationary slash schoolbook shop than a bookstore.
Disappointed, I went down, looking left and right, hoping to find another bookstore. Somehow I looked suspicious and was approached by the security dude in blue.
He asked my destination though I don’t really appreciate the “Ah Moi” part. And I told him my purpose. He pointed out the “Big Bookstore” up on the 3rd floor, I explained that I wanted a DIFFERENT bookstore and he kindly pointed out the book clearance.
Appreciative of his helpfulness, I walked purposeful towards my destination and found the place. Looked and looked I did but even after rounding the place at least 5 times, gave me no results. However, I did manage to snag myself a FEW reading materials.
Five books for only RM 64!!
Book Titles and Authors : (From middle, clockwise)
- Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
- The Journey of Socrates by Dan Miller
- The Geographer’s Library by Jon Fasman
- The Cardinal of Kremlin by Tom Clancy
- The World to Come by Dara Horn
During my book spree, apparently the local radio station, Mix FM was having an event, the event where people rush to a certain spot mentioned by the radio and talk to someone known as the “Mix FM Super Shopper” or something or other. And boy, was I asked MANY times!!
The first few got this response :
“Hi, are you the Mix FM super shopper?”
“Erm…no?”
“Okay, thanks.”
The next dozen or so :
“Hi are you the…”
“No I’m not”
“Oh sorry.”
The few unfortunate ones :
“Hi…”
-Gets mildly irritated at the million of disturbance while trying to browse the cheap books-
“No I’m not. KTHXBAI”
“Oh sorry, thanks.”
And that was the end of my “uneventful” day. Still haven’t got what I want yet…but hey, I got myself something anyways
