shopping craze…

the dubai shopping festival has started! if you don’t know yet, the dubai shopping festival is something like our mega sales in m’sia, but with better bargains. everything is really cheap! just last month, i saw a wool sweater selling for 129 dhs in h&m. i even tried it on, but didn’t really feel like spending 129 dhs on yet another sweater, when i already have a few jackets and sweaters in my closet. but last tuesday, i saw that the price has gone down to 39 dhs! needless to say, i bought it right away, without even trying it on… :P and the shopping fest hasn’t even started yet! officially, the sales is from 20th jan – 20th feb.

today, i went to the mall of emirates with the intention of buying some clothes. i only have 2 work blazers and i think i should buy a couple more. all the clothes outlets are giving discounts of 50-75%… very attractive indeed! but i can’t find anything i like that in the end, i bought books!

borders is having crazy sales too…

P1080174books for only 10 dhs (approx. RM8.35) each!

P1080176  all these for 30 dhs (approx. RM25) each!

i used to read a lot of paulo coelho books but for some reason, i stopped buying them. maybe coz there are just too many books to buy that i sorta put it off for later. but at only RM25 each, i guess now’s the time…

7 books for a total of less than 200 dhs (approx. RM167). i think this is an even better bargain than the mph warehouse sales that i used to go in kl. but damn, i bought 2 books from kinokuniya 2 weeks back, and one of them is going for 30 dhs at borders now!

I don't buy books at mph or borders anymore. I always go to amcorp mall's book excess! It's damn cheap. We can actually get 7-8 books using Rm200.

A paperback is just Rm17.90 - half price from mph/borders! Sometimes they have sale and it's only RM9.90 per book!

I bought all my Gail Tsukiyama's from Book Excess. :D

The Winner stand alone is gripping! I cannot put the book down and finished it in 3 days.

Brida - yawn...

I love the Zahir.

The Time Traveler's Wife is .. if the movie is bad enough..

oh, i've not been to amcorp mall's book excess, tho' i've heard so much abt it.

and i kinda like the time traveler's wife the movie... maybe coz eric bana is so yummy! hehehe...

Perhaps you will enjoy the book then. :D Yes.. Eric bana is delicious! Haha!

I am reading A Street of Thousand Blossoms by Gail Tsukiyama now. A good read.

I remember my sis said you like Haruki Murakami as well. I've read almost all his books except A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. Quite susah to read!

Paulo Coelho - everything on the shelf. You can give Witch of Portobello a miss.
