MPH Stock Clearance Sale 2008 and my 3 years worth of birthday presents

Thursday, 1st May 2008.

Mak Su, Unc Azim, and I went for the MPH Stock Clearance Sale.

It was about 8:30am,
Unc Azim was speeding.
Mak Su was encouraging him to go faster.

And I was at the backseat, gripping to anything I can reach for, terrified of the speed.

ME:
What’s with the rush? The sale is going on the whole day, right?

MAK SU:
a) We’ll get good parking spaces.
b) We’ll have the whole place to ourselves.
c) We don’t have to wrestle with other bookworms for our books!

Hold on tight, girl!
Azim, step on it!!!

As we were about to enter the hall,
there was a mountain of old boxes outside of the entrance.

We eyed quickly for the bigger boxes around and snatched it before anybody else sees it.

My jaw fell off upon looking into the hall.
There were countless of books!
At DISCOUNTED price!

Oh the temptations!

After picking back up my jaw, I frantically made my way to search for any interesting books.
(Which isn’t really hard, given that I have at least 20 books on my wishlist)

I was still in the Darren Shan Saga fever,
having just finished reading Book 9.

I was really only looking for either Book 6 or the compilation of Book 10-11-12.
And both books were there!

Now, what would you do when you have both desired books in front of you?

You grab ALL of them.

And one book led to another,
I found myself resisting temptations at the sight of the Demonata series.

Mak Su, after seeing me in terrible pain,
dumped the whole collection into our box.

Yes, the whole freaking collection of Demonata!

-+-+-+-+-+-

I was officially in a pure state of bliss by the end of our shopping spree.

I got a total of 9 books, a huge treat from Mak Su and Unc Azim.
They spent a total of RM 149 on my books alone.

To show my appreciation for this,
I unconsciously said,

“Thank you!!!
These will be my birthday present for
3 years!”

Then I paused to actually analyze what I said
after seeing both of their wicked grins.

“Muahahaha! We don’t need to think for her birthday present until the year 2011.”

“Heck, we don’t even need to REMEMBER her birthday for the next three years!”

Right, erm… should I be regretting now?
