Book Voucher

My class is canceled today. My lecturer emailed yesterday evening around 8 p.m., saying he's not well. I wonder what should I do? I can't mopped at the house whole day, setting up to meet friends at the last minute doesn't seem very appealing. Besides, some of them are going outstation training today. In the end I decided to go to the bookstore, something which I've meant to do for quite some time but procrastinate because I'm lazy to go to all the big bookstores in the busy town center.

Since I'm a student, I received the RM200 book voucher from the government who uses people's money to do that. And it so happened this semester we use two PDF books as our text and reference. There is no need to buy books. I could buy just about any books and stationeries I want or buy something useful either for my study or my work. I choose the latter.

Despite the apprehension that this is a school holiday Sunday, the traffic and the crowd... ahhh... just go out early and wish for the best. Otherwise I would procrastinate some more and later I have training and I might not do it and waste the book vouchers. It has been a while since I last went to KLCC. I decided to go to Kinokuniya because of the arrays of the kind of book I'm looking for.

Initially I thought what great way to spend the voucher than buy this book, "No More Bullshit, Please, We’re All Malaysians" but then I figured, I already know about those bullshit. The information is available everywhere in the internet. Then I do consider this book by Dr Asri Zainal Abidin, "Islam In Malaysia: Perceptions & Facts". I also have to reconsider because I already am following his blog and his speeches on youtube.

Then I headed to the Training section and browse the racks. They have repositioned some of the shelves and book area so I spent quite some time looking for the training books. In the end, found it near the magazine and cashier counter. I wanted to look for books that can give me some input to my training. Something that I can use to bring my training to the next level. Not the basic stuffs. It is quite hard to browse when all the books are wrapped. After careful deliberation, I make my choices and feeling very satisfied with it. The damage - RM446.45. Sigh! At least we can use the receipt for income tax deduction :)

Arrived at KLCC 11:15, leave at slightly after 1. Two hours well spent and then decided to return home to read my books :)
